Just a quick question here - do wonders in captured cities give benefits to the new owner? I've just captured Moscow, and it turns out it has the Hanging Gardens. While it is a puppet it doesn't seem to give me +3 happiness. Will I get the happiness bonus if I annex the city?

Does anyone else think that the diplomatic victory is just lame, and far too easy? In order to win you don't have to make any friends with other civs, because unless you liberate them, they'll never vote for you anyway. It's all about city-states, and influence on them. I usually have a number...

I discovered in amazement that there are no airports in Civ5! This is a major oversight!! The Civ5Buildings.xml allows for an airlift property for buildings, but no buildings use this! Apart from this, something I'd also really like to see are foreign trade routes. Foreign trade is extremely...

Don't know if this was mentioned before, but it seems the leader titles aren't gender-specific, so we get Lord Elizabeth and Lord Catherine... Just sounds weird - surely should be Lady Elizabeth and Lady Catherine?

Is there any way to implement in Civ4 bombardment of land units by ships, like in Civ3? Or conversely, bombardment of ships by coastal artillery?

Does anyone know how exactly war weariness is calculated and what factors affect it? I couldn't find any articles about this.

I'm wondering if anyone would have a shot at completing this game. It looks winnable but I wasn't able to. Settings: Leader: Catherine of Russia Difficulty: Emperor Speed: Epic Map: Large Continents Remaining AI opponents: Cyrus, Asoka, Saladin, Hatshepshut, Tokugawa, Kublai Khan Year...

I have a laptop with Pentium M 1.7GHz, 512MB RAM, Nvidia Fx Go 5200 with 64 MB. Currently Civ4 runs fine on standard maps although on low graphics settings, and with a slight slowdown towards the modern age. The wonder videos run fine except there is some stuttering with the sound. However...

Does anyone else think that Cannons come in too late in the game? I mean catapults seem to rule until industrial age and cannons are rather quickly replaced by artillery. I would prefer cannons to become available some time during Rennaisance period.

I don't know if anyone has encountered this. Basically quite often when a Gunship is in open terrain, only the rotors are visible, and the rest of body disappears! I have the following specs: Pentium M 1.7GHz 512MB RAM Nvidia Fx Go 5200 with 64MB RAM Win XP SP2 I attach a screenshot of...

I wonder if anyone is interested making the DD-21 Destroyer which is currently being developed for the US navy. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ship/dd-21.htm It looks really cool, as the pictures show:

Could someone be very, very nice and do a map of the Northern Hemisphere? Preferably at least 180x180. IMO, this would come in very useful for anyone making scenarios, as most of the "interesting" events (read wars) in world history happenned in the northern hemisphere. Thanks a lot in...

It seems to be that CFC (and indeed the world) is deeply divided about the necessity of the war in Iraq - so here is the poll to sum up what CFC people think Please DON'T post your reasons WHY you are pro-war or anti-war. There are enough threads where you can post your arguments.

I'm just wondering at what speeds do people connect to the internet. Has the broadband revolution really taken place? I have a 10Mbit connection in my college room! :p

I recently built a new a city near the Roman border. We are friends with Romans, we have peace, and Romans are polite to me, but the next turn,while the city was still unprotected I get a message that Romans razed this city! Did this ever happen to anyone else, that friends burn down your...

What is the largest number of cities you've captured or razed in one turn? My maximum is 21.

Have a look everyone at this website: Gunpoint-3D This guy has got dozens of fantastics 3D models of military vehicles and aircraft! A few of the models are free to downloads, others can be viewed from 4 directions, but actually each model costs $35. :( Maybe the civ community...

Well, actually its 104 units in one stack... The strory is as following: I began an invasion of a distant continent, using an off-shore island as a base. For many turns I bombarded coastal enemy city New Shanghai until it was down to size 1 with virtually no improvements, so then I began...

I have a very strange problem. I decided to start a game on a huge map but on a small island, inspired by Sirian's cuban isolationist succession game. The map was generated by the map editor and then I created a perfect island for myself on that map. I then used Gramphos's Civ3CopyTool to...

I was playing a game on Regent, 256x256 map, 16 civs and by 800 AD the city limit was reached!! I at first thought that this can't be happenning so early, but I used CivPeek to actually count the total number of cities in the game and it was 512! I wouldn't have a problem with this - I had...
