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...

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...

Game-debate.com lists the predicted system requiremenst for civ5 on their site. Here is the gist of it: Intel Processor - Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz AMD Processor - Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ Nvidia Graphics Card - Geforce 8800 GTS ATI Graphics Card - Radeon HD 3800 series...

So if I declare on a guy who is weak but very popular in the world, and the guy is destroyed, will the penalties for declaring war on our friend that the AI give me go away upon the total annihilation of said friend or will the AI forever remember that I blasted their friends to kingdom comes?

So I just fired up this game on a fractal world, everything standard, immortal. This is the start I got. Now this thread serves no real purpose, yet I thought people might like playing this sort of map. Here is the start: Total crap of course... Clam is less useful than fish, the...

So... I traded maps with the entire world and made a fortune, and now I found out that that seems to cause the 'traded with our worst enemies' diplomatic penalty as well. This is actually rather annoying since I was gunning for a diplomatic victory on immortal, and that seems to be out of the...

So I rolled up this start on Immortal. I picked Lizzy cause I am not too comfortable on immortal just yet and I want a strong leader to learn. So I found myself on an island - yet I was not really isolated - and I realised this soon. I had lots of woods to chop and I chopped out the great...

Hey all, So I found myself on this rather large peninsula with random -> Bismarck. I blocked the peninsula with a 2-gold city and settled it at my leisure after that. So I won lib and massed cavalry. With that I took out Huanya Capac. Now my cities newly captured cities are under real...

Hey all! this is a writeup of me playing immortal with one of the strongest leaders in the game and one of my favorites: Asoka! :) In the third sitting I decided to change my approach, see the third set for details. I update the sessions in this first post. Sessions two and further will be...

So I find myself on a continent with Montezuma. I have copper in my capitol BFC and I axerush Monty to kingdom comes. Now I have his cities, including a dream GPF that is the former Aztec capitol. Philo + pacifism + insane GPF = :groucho: The GPF monster that is the formar Aztec capitol...

So here I find myself on an island with some respectable AI's. I am doing well in terms of keeping up, but soon we know the AI's will take off late game. I suck at warring, and that is where I will fail. I know if I proceed I will run into a loss because I caanot keep up with the AI. I need to...

So here I was chilling, minding my own buisness and tweaking diplomacy for a diplomatic win. I had everything set up and was friendly with pretty much everyone that mattered, including Gilgamesh. I noticed him in WHEOOHRN, but I figured he would go after Churchill because that was what he was...

One thing I notice about my own game is that I tend to get soft after winning a game. I normally play on emperor, and I win in that difficulty most of the time. However after losing in, say, the immortal university I fire up another emperor game to boost my confidence again somewhat, and I end...

In an immortal difficulty game I started I had a somewhat good start. I found copper very close to my cap on a good location, but also Gilgamesh is very close to me. I am Mansa Musa - I got him in a random draw - so I happed to have an early archery UU. I popped hunting from a hut, so archery...

This sure have been explained and posted before, but searching for it did not get me any satisfying results. I was curious what this 'dotmap' is and how to get it. I know you can place 'dots' on the map in order to mark city spots. Does it do anything else, or is it just a visually more...

So my first game I ever tried on immortal - outside of the immortal university games back when I still had no clue what I was doing - was with Darius since he is economical a real powerhouse and as such easy to start with. So anyway, I took out Saladin in an immortal rush just fine. After...

there are lots of threads out there asking what speed people play on, but not that many where the differences are discussed, or so I feel. What I am curious about is what the differences are from a strategy point of view. What strategy from the normal speed does not work on other speeds? Is...

Elsewhere I saw some one posting this screeny. http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd53/Lobster667/Civ4ScreenShot0428.jpg It looks amazing, and I remember seeing the mod once but I did not manage to install it properly, although that was not for a lack of trying. I though to give it another...

What the title says. It may have health issues so I will have to look out where I place it exactly - splitting it up might be a good idea - but wow. :eek: Even with a start like this I bet I cannot win though... this is my first ever attempt on immortal. Anyway, the screenshot. I did not...

Hi all! Last game I was on an island with monty and stalin. I took out monty with an immortal-rush. After that I rushed the AP and managed to build it. I was able to vote myself into the AP since my I kept my religion as obscure as possible - thanks, themeinteam! :goodjob: Anyway...
