    Italian President overrides election results

    Honestly, I wouldn't have thought that the EU makes their intentions that clear. The pro-EU president simply denies the new government to be the selection of the finance minister who is anti EU and hence, prevents a new government to form. I reckon he has made a huge mistake as it will play in...

    Counter for Golden/Normal/Dark Ages

    I got this issue and could not find any hint on this. I am currently two turns away from the end of the first age. I am at 23/24 points for the Golden Age. I am poised to get Political Philosophy in two turns, the turn the age ends. Now, my question is, does the PP point I will get count or...

    Fall Patch - Information of techs and civics in upper left corner can't be permanently unticked

    I do not want those that information block the my map. Hence, I always untick the box and the information is then hidden unless I tick the box and it appears. However, since the new Patch, every turn the box automatically appears again. I have to manually untick it every single turn. How much...

    War Weariness Level Reduction - Request

    Dear modders, does anyone know how to edit (reduce) the current level of war weariness? I am playing a game on immortal and while fighting another Nation based on casus belli, I am facing a blanket of cheap horses by the enemy. The war has been dragging on for a fair bit (I am guessing at least...

    Has Civilization become a game for the pokemon go crowd (aka AI is immersion breaking bad,it hurts)

    From my AW game under stories section. Guess what happens next? (I am the owner of Kyoto, no it doesn't have any walls, no units insides, no units nearby. Yes, there are three English knights that sneaked in). After pressing enter, I want to cry. Is the AI programmed to NOT ever take a city...

    Amenities are either totally broken or I simply don't understand how they work

    Have a look a my city overview of amenities in an AW game I am currently playing. I have 20 cities in this overview. Now, I have a policy enabled that give 1 added amenity for a military unit stationed in each city. That alone should account for at least 10+ amenities (I am playing always war...

    ThERat plays AW (Always War)

    For those that know me from the C3C days playing SG (succession games) with the grumpy old men and some solo AW games on huge maps, know that I am a warmonger at heart. I am currently playing a AW game on prince (as Kongo) and it turns out to be quite fun (sure, the AI is braindead, but in...

    No warriors as swordsmen are available, but due to lack of iron can't be built either?

    Is this correct. In my little game I played before going to bed and work, I research iron working, and due to the lack of iron, can't build swordsmen (so far so good). However, as warriors upgrade to swordsmen, I couldn't build warriors any longer either. is this a feature or bug?

    How will Always War (AW) games turn out to be

    Having read the comments about battle royale and all the other information about warmonger penalties, I get seriously worried about the type of gameplay I enjoy the most. I am coming from the small group of grumpy old men, that played many SG on C3C here, ultimately beating a Pangaea AW game on...

    Rat44 CCM - Ultimate Challenge

    Yes, you read correctly. Dismayed by the AI's inability to produce a strong contender to our expansion and world dominance, the team decided to go for the ultimate challenge. CCM hands every player the same penalty to expansion, that is an auto-produced settler every 20 turns. However, this...

    My opinion of the game after a weekend of playing

    As the title says, I have been playing CivWorld over the weekend for a bit. I am in game 126, where I joined Germany at the start when it was much smaller than Britain, but turns out to be the juggernaut. I joined game 133 as well, playing with France that is now being attacked by 4 other...

    Rat 42 - CCM Heading to the Moon

    It is time to get through the entire CCM tech tree and head for the moon. Goal in this game will be to reach the end of the tech tree as fast as possible. Hence, deity is chosen for the difficulty level to spice up the AI. Tech trading will be crucial until the start of the Industrial Age...

    Rat 41 CCM - AW a first attempt

    CCM is a real great mod and changes gameplay a lot in my opinion. For one, settlers and workers are auto produced which limits growth and expansion of both AI and the human. There are no armies as well which changes warfare for AW especially. We decided to give it a try on emperor...

    Rat's AW goes emperor Pangaea

    Having played a few AW games on continents including my first Civ 5 story here, it's time to up the ante. I played a king game on Pangaea and realized it is no easy feat though I prevailed in the end. France turned out to be the biggest problem as they had swallowed other nations and were ahead...

    First attempt in AW games - Rat's warmongering

    Anyone who knows me from Civ 3 or even Civ 4 succession games, knows I am a warmonger at heart. I decided to give this a try at Civ 5. Will the new 1upt rule make things different? Surely it will. I chose the Aztecs as they give 3 culture for every victory in battles, which should be just...

    Succession Game for Civ 5

    Hi Folks, yes, I admit I ordered and pre loaded Civ 5 yesterday. Steam hasn't caused any trouble for me yet. I am aware of the many questions we all have with civ 5, but as an avid old civfanatic, I am sure that money is well spent considering what other lame ducks I have bought at times in...

    Swiss Expat potentially facing am Michael Fay treatment

    There we go again, but this isn't supposed to be the dark ages of Singapore anymore, is it? A Swiss expat together with a British sneaked into a train depot and spray painted a train with IMHO quite artistic graffiti. They forgot one thing though, we are in repressive, 'we don't understand...

    Civ 5 and AW (Always War games)

    I am following with great interest the new developments in Civ 5. As some people might know, I am a huge warmonger at heart and have been playing (and am still playing) lots of Always War games. For those new to our boards, this means that you declare war on anyone in the game the moment you...

    CCM - An introduction to a great mod

    As mentioned in the sucession games forum, I am planning to start a SG for this brand new mod that at this stage is still in beta mode due to some stability issues. Thus, I am starting this introduction game, which hopefully will make you curious about this mod and serves as some sort of guide...

    Rat 40 - Introduction to CCM

    Now that CCM has been released for a public beta test, it is time to talk about a new succession game that I had in mind ever since I joined as a pre-beta tester. This mod CCM plays very different from standard C3C. In my mind it has very nice new game elements such as auto produced units...
