    I changed my camera view somehow...

    Bit of a long shot ..... ..... but have you got "Camera Mode" set to on? You might have changed the ini file in the past and forgotten about it. Camera Mode is switched on and off by pressing "ALT + Ctrl + F" - its a "Toggle" switch, and goes on and off by repeating same key strokes. If...

    Running CIV4 BTS with large amounts of RAM

    Agreed re the 4Gb limit - it was built with an older Core Architecture in mind, and will not utilise above 4Gb. Having said that you *might* gain some speed by using RAMDiscs ..... but don't hold your breath, its a lot of messing around for minimal gain. Only try the latter if you are buying...

    Refined Poll: your standing with the game

    Stopped playing it because it was crafted as a money maker by so called "widening the fanbase". Its not a Strategy game, its just an excuse to bleed off the previous good name of the Civilisation Franchise. There is no excuse, they destroyed one of the most famous Franchises in the games...

    Shafer’s contributions and the future of Civ

    There is an infamous saying: "War is too important to be left to the Generals" To butcher that to Civ: "Civilisation Franchise is too important to be left to a wargame" Civ is more than a wargame, always has been, always will be. The attempt by shallow inexperienced revisionists and...

    Jon Shafer leaves Firaxis!

    The response from their Marketing Director .... .... is Classic Corporate speak for "there has been a raging argument and he left" Fired or resigned, we'll never know frankly. But its clear there has been an acknowledgement Civ5 is a train wreck in terms of a genuine Civilisation...

    Silly but serious question..

    We chopped down most of them a few hundred years ago fighting the Dutch, French and Spanish - we working on it, and doing good, but a couple of hundred years to go yet... So for the moment, green or brown is good :lol: Regards Zy

    bombers cant bomb improvements?

    Its a penalty of 1UPT - Bombers become massively powerfull unless they get nerfed like they have compared to previous versions, else they overwhelm the whole 1UPT principle. If they were not nerfed like this they could lay waste to any infrastructure/land setup far far easier than any land...

    After the patch is before the patch: What needs to be fixed next

    Its not so much "doing wrong", its just the simplistic Strategic Choices we now have. I dont dispute for a second that we all have our preferences, needs, wants etc. Whats good for one, is poison for another. In the latter is the point. At present the only real option (that gives a challenge)...

    Patch is out!!!

    Are your graphics drivers upto date? 80% of graphics issues in the end get back to a driver problem. Its entirely possible that in the patch build they used upto date aspects of current drivers, and therefore on Patching any "out of date" drivers could have a problem. Regards Zy

    After the patch is before the patch: What needs to be fixed next

    They removed "The Epic Journey" elements, hopefully they will return as Civ 5 continues its rebuild. My comment, although along the lines of "Epic Journey", are applicable to both camps - warmonger or Builder. As it stands at present, we have - fundamentally two choices, all out war or hunker...

    To those who have, up until now, not been happy with Civ V...

    Definitely. I have tried a few warmongering, as well as my normal "Builder" style. It seems to me that if you maintain a strong Military, the AI will leave you alone, as it always did on other versions. The latter is of course entirely reasonable - to say the least. Where I came to a...

    To those who have, up until now, not been happy with Civ V...

    I am looking for "The Epic Journey". It was there - warts 'n all - in previous Civ Versions, and slowly over time as each Major revision came out, "The Epic Journey" was improving. The Civ 4 to Civ 5 itteration has changed all that, The Epic Journey - as it currently stands - has been...

    To those who have, up until now, not been happy with Civ V...

    Answering the OP question - which you would do well to do. If you have no opinion on the OP question because you like the game as it stands - I throw back your "answer" at you: what the heck are you doing on the thread. I for one have never said "I will never play it again" and I very much...

    To those who have, up until now, not been happy with Civ V...

    I also wonder how long this simplistic - almost smug and childish - attitude will exist, trotting out this silly "whining" scenario everytime someone dare criticise the game Its getting very very stupid, and beyond childish. Its hardly original any more. The OP asked for opinions and got...

    To those who have, up until now, not been happy with Civ V...

    On the positive side Yes much improved balance, and Cities you have to at least start to think a little more before overcoming them. It appears more stable and less prone to a crash. Overall they succeeded in pulling it out of the raging inferno that the initial release had plunged it. They...

    Patch is out!!!

    Works for me. Its a definite step forward, and the massive size of the - euphamistically called "Patch" - is evidence of the size of changes and work that went into getting this version on the streets. Its still not "Civ" from my perspective, I still miss "the epic journey" feeling, and it...

    Patch is out!!!

    You had multiple trys including verify local cache. Personally I would delete local cache and redownload the lot. Ok its 2/3 hours to do it .... but you should get a clean full download with no more messing around. Go to Library, right click the Civ Icon, select Properties, then delete...
