    List of wonders that are shared in MP

    Most of the benefits derived from wonders in Civ5 are not shared with your team. I am trying to compile a list of those which are shared. Please post any wonders which provide benefits to your entire team. I don't know of any that are limited to a single continent as was the case for some in...

    Babylonian Acoustics Policy Slingshot

    I completely agree with unlocking Rationalism for the Babylonians but don't intentionally limit your culture along the way. Encourage the culture and you'll be able to grab 3 or more policies in Rationalism the moment it unlocks. I don't think there is one right plan to take (depends on your...

    Babylonian Acoustics Policy Slingshot

    You might want to re-think how you are doing this: When you accumulate enough culture for a social policy, you don't have to select one immediately. You can wait until you unlock the tree you want and then spend the culture. This is what I do in most games. I save my policies until...

    MP games can be saved by hitting ctl-s but how do you load one of those saved games?

    The wait is killing me

    I'm getting some strippers, coke and a bounce house tonight. By the time I'm released from jail, Civ 5 will be available.

    13 things we love ...

    They do answer my question about what happens when a city state takes a city (raze or puppet). I'm surprised that puppet is an option.

    What's the deal with Longswordsmen?

    I think the gameplay > realism is that longswordsmen have the same mobility as musketmen.

    Community Feature: Worker Improvements

    "Road. Increases the movement speed of units moving along them. Connecting cities to your capital will provide a large amount of gold per turn. Costs 1 gold per turn to maintain. Requires The Wheel." Does the movement bonus apply in hostile territory?

    Use of Roads in Hostile Territory

    I think people are worrying way too much about neutral roads. Just make them free. If territory is worth building a road through, how long will it stay neutral? The "build roads near an enemy's border" plan seems like a much bigger pain for you than for them. Think about all the work you...

    Use of Roads in Hostile Territory

    Hopefully troops can utilize the movement benefits of roads in enemy territory in Civ 5. Does anyone know if this has been changed from Civ 4?

    Why the Barringer Crater?

    Perhaps name a geyser "John Holmes"?

    City State at War

    Razing is the easiest option. I think it should be offered to an allied civ (if there is one) and if refused, it gets burned. Any dynamic where they seek units and to pillage while ignoring cities could be exploited.

    Why the Barringer Crater?

    When you discover a natural wonder, the game should state that your people have discovered a majestic (mountain/crater/reef/etc...) which is an inspiration to your people. What would you like to name it? When AI civs are first to discover them, just have a list of names for...

    City State at War

    If City States do not expand beyond the single city, how do they conduct their wars? Do they just march up to your city and hurl insults at you? If they capture a city, do they burn it? gift it to an allied civ? I apologize if this is summarized elsewhere but did not see it.

    Why the Barringer Crater?

    It should be possible to rename Natural Wonders. The first person to gaze on the Barringer Crater certainly didn't say "Wow, it's the Barringer Crater!". Edit: I should say "name" the wonder since the point is that it has no name at discovery.

    The Biggest, Baddest Unit

    Have you seen the screenshot where the military news update (ranking of civs by military power) is titled "Alberti has completed his greatest work, the list of THE PEOPLE WITH THE POINTIEST STICKS"? If China is #1 in land area, does Alberti say that Wu Zetian has huge tracts of land?
