    You should send a spy into the city to sabotage their defensive buildings and... Oh wait, never mind.

    Random Characters: I think you summed it up very nicely.

    Best Number of Civs and City States per Map Size?

    As the map gets larger, the less likely the map will be fully settled. What do you think the best number of Civs and City-States should you have per map size?

    Are Huge Maps too Huge?

    Edit After reading some replies, I think XRW175P6MQ4 came up with a simple and elegant solution to the issue at hand. The cost of social policies should be inversely proportional to the size of the map. I find that the bigger the map, the more space there is between the starting Civilizations...

    Does the Tech Tree need an overhaul?

    I've played quite a few games where I have the following happened: Pikemen before SpearmenInfantry before RiflemenNuclear Submarines before Submarines For me, I think it isn't the greatest thing that you can spearhead your way far into the Tech Tree and start getting Units and Buildings...

    whats a normal turn wait time to you?

    If I am not counting all the time watching my new Allied CS beat the crap out of each other, it is definitely less than 10 seconds. I think in the future I am going to turn off Combat Animations.

    If you haven't bought Civ V for the War Academy Prize, this weekend might be a good weekend to buy it.

    NiGHTS: Game Design Blog #1

    Sorry, I wasn't clear on that. I've been playing Civ V Vanilla. I haven't tried yours yet but I've been greatly impressed with what I've see so far. I think I'm going to download it this Korean Thanksgiving weekend and give a spin. Is there anyway to break Science based on population...

    I like idea of your game changes that makes Civ V's structure more like Civ IV's. I feel that late into the game that most of the map is still bare because the punishes the player for expanding without conquest. One thing I loved about Civ 4 was the balance you had to choose between economy...

    Do people finally like Civ5 now?

    After a few weeks of playing the game when it first came out I couldn't really enjoy it without Mods. Since I couldn't get any achievements with the Mods, I stopped playing. After the Korean DLC, I started playing and a lot of improvements have been made to make the game much more enjoyable...

    What improvement is the lesser of 2 evil?

    Trade Post without a doubt. +1 Gold with Economics, another +1 during a Golden Age and +1 Science if you are doing rationalism. The farm will be at most +2 Food.

    How to start off with the Honor Policy?

    I'm usually a player who either starts off with Liberty or Tradition first. Liberty is probably a hold over from my Civ 4 days of the need for REX early on and Tradition is due my love of building tall. I want to try a game of starting off with Honor. I am not hugely familiar with the...

    I need some help picking a CIV.

    For me, India would be a good place to start if you want to practice building Vertical Empires (a few cities with very large populations). India gets some special bonuses for larger cities and the Unique Unit and Building are standard enough and don't require special strategies to use.

    Introduction Monologue

    I hit 'Esc' to make it stop, but usually it doesn't stop until I get the son sits down. If I exit out and load again, it will stop before the old man stops talking. I think Civ 5 just takes a long time to load. If your computer is a bit old, it may take the entire video to load up.

    Conquest of the World achievement - how to get?

    I remember correctly, "Every know player" includes City States. Try turning them off (or conquering all four).

    This should be interesting...

    I decided to start a new game here. Map settings: Large, Iroquois, Continent, Normal Speed I got a nice spot next to the sea with lots of Forests. The Continent I am on is a good size with lots of different terrain and resources. Neighbors: Japan, Germany, the Aztecs, Russia and...

    AI Bribes My CS Ally While We're at War!

    I think for CS voting for UN, their loyalties lie with the person they had the best relationship throughout the game, not the person that bought them at the end. I personally think that would make the game much more interesting and the UN less of a sham. Let's say you are on turn 400, and on...
