    Loading times benchmarks

    Hello fanatics, Quick question. Are there any websites or sources about loading times? I ask because I want to know how much loading time is normal for (for example) a single player game with small map. My i5 6600k seems to take until the end of the narrative to load a game. However I see...

    Where Are the Wide Empires in BE?

    Plopping down the NC is not a goal in off itself. If you need to compete for prime city locations, delaying NC may be well worth it. For example, last night I played multiplayer with a friend who has a really fast NC. He out-teched me for quite some time, but after I finally had universities...

    Expanding just for luxuries?

    Well, there are additional trading partners on the other continent, so I could trade off all three furs I am receiving. I understand your reasoning, and the slowdown in social policies and science is exactly what is holding me back.

    Expanding just for luxuries?

    Hey all, This is a part of the game where I am really unsure what to do, so I would like some feedback from novices and experts alike. I play on immortal, and I find myself on a peninsula. I have fur in abundance (4 in total), so I happily trade it around to the other 3 civs on my...

    Best unit in the game (for me): the story of an unusual breed

    So you are saying that you probably cannot do this on a difficulty above king? Given that on king and below, you can crush any civilization using a fly swatter, I see no point to this. More power to you for doing this though, but I see no valuw whatsoever other than novelty.

    Is tourism pointless if you're not going for culture victory?

    Haven't seen it in Civ5 yet, but in Civ4 you could gain control of a city if you had enough cultural pressure. That is, you could use culture to 'conquer' an enemy city.

    Too Much Western Art

    While I understand what you are saying, I am also tempted to slap you in the face for sentiments like this. If you want people to educate themselves on the diversities this world has to offer, please promote proper education and such. Please do not come to a forum of a game made in the West...

    Critics required for an Emperor level game

    Just as a general guideline, it helps to post a few screenshots... Although I like the game, it is a hassle to load a saved game just to provide feedback. A pieve of advice I can give is to watch video's by MadDjinn and other YouTubers. They have some very good videos with commentary. I learned...

    He was bribed to declare war. In return he received a few raisins.

    Unit Production increased dramatically

    But that way you need to do this every game and for all players. And then you need to see the map you are playing on. Not a good idea at all...

    When do you decide to move up in difficulty?

    There is no right time, it depends on what you want from the game. I like to have a relaxing and fun game where I am challenged but not too much. My job is challenging enoughthat I need not look into challenging myselfin my games as well . For me, the second I get bored I move up a step. If...

    First G+K DLC - Name it!

    People in the western world have heard of the Zulu. That is why they have some appeal, whereas some more relevant yet lesser known nation or tribe does not have this appeal. Making the game is all about the cash it generates. I'd pay to play the Zulu, I would not even consider buying the...

    Swordsman better than archer in a city

    PLacing an archer in a city was popular not because it raised city defence, but because you had another ranged attack to fend off attackers. A swordman can ofcourse attack units in the field, but should you kill a unit, the swordmen will take its place and be vulnerable to a counter attack. A...
