    we need an option to enable 'nice starts'

    I actually haven't tried it, I'm just guessing based on the name of the option that it does what you want. When you setup a game, go to advanced setup, and scroll down on the right. You'll see a checkbox for legendary start.

    we need an option to enable 'nice starts'

    Already in the game AFAIK. Click on the "Legendary Start" toggle and you should be good to go.

    [FIXED] Luxury Resource Trading

    The trade that caused this issue for me was trading the last of a luxury resource (as in it read silver (1) in the trade screen) for a different luxury resource from another civ. I was doing this to get the resource my city wanted for wltkd. After that all sorts of weird trade related issues...

    [FIXED] Luxury Resource Trading

    I can confirm this bug. I think it occurs when you trade away the last of your luxury resources. I should have 2 silver and 1 incense, but I know only have 1 ivory from a trade that should have ended. I also think it affected my research agreement trade as I was never granted a tech after it was...

    An Evaluation: Why CIV 5 is an absolute atrocity.

    Another rant with no discussion of the additions :thumbsdown:

    The big conclusions thread

    I'm loving it, and if the opinions of the people in Dreddit (EVE related community) are any indication of the overall population you'll probably love it too. Don't worry too much about the currently vocal minority.

    Utter disappointment

    I call shenanigans. If you actually bought Civ 4 on its first day, you would know that it wasn't even playable. How is that drastically better than Civ 5? Furthermore, this game is as deep or deeper than Civ 4. The new limitations and restrictions as well as the seemingly decreased production...

    Are you playing on DX 9 or DX 10/11 option?

    Q6600 2.4Ghz x 4, 6GB RAM, 9600GT I've been running it in DX9 and using the NVIDIA panel to override the anti-aliasing settings. I set AA to 4x and the game looks great in DX9.

    My Thoughts After a Sleepless Night!

    Lots of comments so far about the production speed. I had the same frustration early on with the production speed feeling slow, but I'm starting to warm to it. One of the things that always bothered me in Civ 3 and eve 4 was that later in the game you could often build every building in every...

    Selection Bias (AKA Civ 5 is better than posts make it sound)

    Maybe he should have said that you shouldn't judge a game (at least not one as deep as civ) in a few hours.

    Selection Bias (AKA Civ 5 is better than posts make it sound)

    There have been a lot of negative posts here lately about initial impressions of Civ 5. Besides the fact that people always resist change (especially coming from previous excellent versions of Civ) the people posting here now are the people that are angry. Angry about DRM, angry about Steam...

    My first impressions: Not good

    Try running it in DX9 and overriding the anti-aliasing settings in the video card setup. Looks just about as good in DX9 to me as it does in DX11 using 4X AA.

    Off-the-cuff review of Civ V

    Completely agree, I am very impressed with the changes. I have (ashamed to say) played about 10 hours today :blush: and I'm really liking the feel of the game much more so in the first day than I did civ IV.

    My first impressions: Not good

    I really don't think scale is an issue for combat or otherwise. The scale in all the civs has always been way off, from the size of the cities to their apparent proximity to cannons (in previous versions) hitting from hundreds of miles. The new hex based combat is wonderful in my opinion.

    COTM 24 - Pre Game Discussion

    RickFGS, you should try reading the whole GOTM page. It would tell you NOT to post spoilers. First of all, it gives people who start later advantages they shouldn't have, and furthermore, it ruins the game for those of us who don't care what the score is. Mods, please delete his post ASAP...

    Japan on emperor

    First of all, great journal. I've only just started my first game at monarch, but I was wondering how useful ICS is in corrupt areas? I saw that after you took out china you started building cities every other square, does it make a significant amount of money? Also, what improvements (if...

    Civ3/Civ4?

    I bought Civ 4 in November, quickly realized my computer was a little too slow to play it, but I did play a couple games. It ran ok, pretty jerky animation, and I just didn't get as excited about it. I really think that Civ3 is just a better game.

    Need some help

    I still have no idea what it was, but I finally got it to work. After uninstalling, reinstalling, adding the patch, removing the patch, and then adding it again, the upgrade button and the option finally showed up. So, now I just don't touch it again.

    Need some help

    Ok, I'll get a save in a few minutes. But even if I don't have enough cash, I should at least get the little notification that says so. When I press U, nothing happens, and also, when I right click on the unit there's no upgrade option.
