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?

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...

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...

How do you Mod Civ V? Which Mods? Why? Let us know!

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 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...

I was wondering what exactly happens to the promotions of a Crossbowman when they are upgrading to a Rifleman? Do Accuracy and Barrage become Shock and Drill respectively? Will Logistics translate to Blitz? Are Indirect Fire and Range just lost?

Greetings, I've been playing Civ since the first installment, and the entire time I have been a Builder. I can build a great vertical empire here in CiV, but throughout all of the games, I've never been that good at being a warmonger. So, to fight urges to build up, up, up, I'm turning to...

Using Your Ranged Units EffectivelyTactics and Strategy Introduction Getting up close and fighting dirty may not be everyone's cup of tea. For those who like to sit back and fire projectiles of death from afar, Civilization 5 has the units just for you! With the reinstatement of Ranged Units...

I am trying to make an objective list of the differences between the two games of Civ 4 and Civ 5. I am just looking for the differences in game play mechanics. Here is what I have so far. If you can think of anything that I missed, please let me know and I will add it to the list. Hex vs...

Greetings all. Thank you for opening this thread and peering into my world of playing CiV. I've been away from CiV since its release since I wasn't happy with the state of the game. After the Korean DLC was released, I gave it another try and was greatly impressed. As a builder in all the...

I just got back into playing CiV after a long hiatus and I am enjoying it again after all the patches. What I am curious about is Earning Achievements while Using Mods. In my first game back I was playing as Korea while using the Emigration and the Gradual Research Mod. I ended up...

I've been out of the loop of CiV for awhile for various reasons. This weekend I should be able to play it again. But before I jump back in, I had a few questions. Sorry if there is already a thread about this. I did a search but didn't find it. Is there still an issue where it seemed that...

What will happen to this game? I think the community has the ideas and knows what it wants. With the coordination and hard work by some dedicated few, lots of testing and tweaking, I think the community can make it into a good game. Personally, I think Fraxis got the ball rolling for a...

Babylon is $4.99 for those of you who didn't get the deluxe edition. If they start releasing more Civs for sale, how much would you pay for one Civ?

Sulla's name carries a lot of weight in the Civ community across the world. He has already played through a few games of Civ V and his opinions aren't that rosy. You can see for yourself on his website. A heated debate even started on the Civ Forums over his opinions rendered. To me, it...

Greetings all, I'm a first time Modder here jumping headfirst into the Modding world. I am trying start working on the balancing issues of Happiness in Civ V and want to experiment with some ways to improve the overall balance. My first step is to start adding a small Happiness bonus to...

While there are some nice Wonders of the Worlds in Civ V, many of them don’t deserve the title of Wonder. Take the Hanging Gardens. The current benefits are a bit underwhelming: +1 Population in all existing cities, +3 Happiness, +1 Culture, +1 Artist Point In some cases, if a person has...

36 potential tiles for my cities to harvest! Yowzers! In my previous game as Babylon, I placed my cities far apart so that almost every city would have potential to use all of their tiles. End game, when my cities were averaging a city size of about 20, I saw that most of the cities were...
