Hi Civvers. I'm an old school Civ player (since the beginning!). Played them all, struggled with Civ5 and fell out of love with Civ6. Even went back to Civ4 for a few months... Question is, should I immerse myself in Gathering Storm (and other DLC?) and give it another go? I love exploration...

So, who you're going to try out first tomorrow? I'm thinking Cree, although a Impi rush looks fun... :cool:

Am I wrong to go for both Libery and Tradition? I know I probably shouldn't, but I keep doing it..!!;) I love the free worker, free settler and free GPerson in Lib (they all turn up pretty much when i need them if I go Lib first), but I also love the Wonder boost, free cultural buildings and...

I always go for the same settings when i start a new game and follow a familar path in-game. Emperor Level Continents Plus Small World, Low Sea Level Epic pace Mayan :king: 3-5 cities, get an early religion, spread it, rake in the money Try to puppet my landmass, depending on strength...

Ok, this is weird. I've played G+K 3 or 4 times, but on other occasions (like right now) the game refuses to start up?!?!:confused: I don't have any G+K desktop shortcut and can't find it on any Program or Games list. When I click on an old shortcut, I get the small civ5 box, which asks if...

Basically, is it worth buying the Ancient Wonder DLC now G+K is out? I can't remember what the 3 Wonders do exactly, but they can't have Faith based bonuses. Question is, do they add worthwhile options to the expanded game, or are they fairly pointless, especially as there is so much to do...

Ok, i know these are highly situational, but when the map has a bit of everything in it (pastures, desert, plantations etc..) what belief do ppl normally pick?? Lately I've been going Religious Festivals, which provide 10% pop growth. I'd rather pick a science or gold boost, but at least this...

Forgive me if I have missed it (in which case can some kind soul point me in the right direction please), but I thought weeks (months?) ago that G&K questions where submitted to Dennis Shirk AND also to some Developers (via 2KGreg poss?) at some conference or other... My question is....where...

Whilst I am most excited about the XP I haven't seen much written about Health and/or Trade. These are two features I think are missing/lacking most in civ5 currently, even more so then religion and espionage (imho :)). Has anyone discovered any new features in G&K's that will enhance or...

Hi Guys Quick question for you clever ppl ;) Will Steam let me install Civ5 on a laptop if i have already installed it on a PC? I'm not going to pay twice (once was more then enough) but i want to see the fancy graphics (all settings are on minimum on my old PC).

I need to renew my interest in civ5. I was finding it harder and harder to complete games, and now i haven't even played in weeks. But, at heart, i am a Civ fan :king:, so i want to get it on again. I was thinking mods might help, so i have 2 questions. 1) Which mods are worth trying?:)...

Couldn't see a thread for snags, so here goes... HEX DISPLAY Whenever I display hexes, either in map or strategic mode, I can't turn them off afterwards. Not a huge issue, but somewhat annoying none the less. (I know the soultion is not to display hexes in the first place, but that's not...

Just started civ5 (14.40 BST, 2nd May) and have the messages VIKING DLC and Map Pack DLC both available... unfortunately when i click them and go into Steam, they aren't there :(

I've won a few games at King and Emperor level, finding it easier to win with only a couple of cities and some puppets. Civ5 penalises having lots of cities (SP costs go up, unhappiness goes up, NW costs go up, building maintenance goes up, costly roads are required etc..). But now, i want...

Whilst i applaud those who just play whatever start they get, i find too many starting locations in civ5 quite poor (either not enough food or production). I'm not a fan of moving the settler too far before founding the first city, so i often re-roll the dice (i.e. start again ;)). As has...

Hi, quick question for you clever ppl ;) I'm running civ5 on my PC, but i am about to purchase a laptop for the family my question is, can i install civ5 on the laptop as well as running it on my PC? (never used steam before, so not sure if it will restrict multi-use of the game) Thanks :)

In my current game, I founded Paris and moved my warrior south to explore. On the third turn he stumbled across El Dorado...:cool: Not only does it instantly give 500:c5gold:, it also gives 5:c5culture: when worked, so that was Orleans location sorted as it fitted with my :c5culture: grab...

I would like to add the bonus civs as one of my favourite aspects of civ has always been the varied and differing leaders and there abilities, units etc.. Looking at Steam (UK), it costs £4.49 for Inca and Spain and £2.99 for Babylon (I've already got the Mongols). Without trying to sound...

I want to give the Boney a go, and I'm intrigued by the French UA 'Ancien Regime'. I understand that every city gives +2 culture (until Steam Power) but also that every additional city increases the SP cost. :confused: Is there an optimum number of cities to found? I'm assuming go for...

Morning all :) Pre-patch China seemed the unofficial top civ, although my personal choice was Greece. Now with horse units nerfed, and maritime city states providing less bonus, I guess i'll need a new favourite. I haven't read ALL the patch notes (500MB?!?), but i know there are some...
