    Do you play Cut-Throat or Immersion?

    Immersion and benchmarks. I'm all about getting max science and gold that I can get through building. I'm not really a warmonger but I like deciding on a Strat implementing it and then ending the game early when I'm happy . Sure we could build a nice tight scientific powerhouse that can support...

    great generals are quite useless now...?

    as a matter of course I play cntinents and use the great admiral you get from commerce ( if I mess up my timing for renaissance with policy acquisition ) to explore the sea. If you keep him on ocean you won't get hit by barbs and can circumnavigate first very easily not to mention the diplomatic...

    AI needs work badly

    Be more specific , what level are you playing, Map type- what are you referring to specifically. I haven't found the same thing - what victory or play style is causing it. I'm currently in a game at 300 turn as Neb mainly against Catherine at Emperor . The AI was a little up and down to be...

    How is literacy calculated?

    I would say that it's. It possible to get 100% as there is an infinite number of future techs. But it is definitely tied to advances in the way described above the civ 4 based explanation notwithstanding. The exact mechanics are not clear but it isn't tied to productivity near as I can tell as...

    Help with playing on prince

    Probably the biggest change I've enjoyed is learning to fight a war strategically more like chess than previous incarnations. Using all terrain features to your advantage you can hold back the biggest waves with four archers and the garrison bonus. Also keep an eye on your growth in terms of...

    Noobie looking for tips

    My simple tip is keep an eye on your soldiers ranking on the demographics page is. This game is pretty brutal on those who don't buildup military. In Civ4 you could get away with it in this game they will declare war very early on . Remember no point in building an awesome civ if the others...

    Some advice on city expansion

    Ok so I've been playing civ since the original block graphic game. I've recently gotten into Civ5 . Currently I've moved up from King into Immortal difficulty level. I play Alexander more to do with my cultural heritage as opposed to any strategic consideration. I also play normal play speed...

    1upt

    Let's not forget when this game started (I am older yes) it was one 1upt . From memory Civ3 was as well but could be mistaken it was a while ago. Either way the military side of the game is significantly better including the new mechanic associated with City defense. There is real strategy now ...

    Alexander and Julius?

    Macedonian. Alexander was a Macedonian. Macedonian in Ancient times was a region of Greece. Greeks were city states so they had no affiliation based on being Greek. In fact most of the place was at war consistently throughout the ages. Sparta V Athens ; Corinthian League V Others. Etc etc...

    Disturbing facts about the real life civilizations and leaders

    It seems this thread has got a little bogged down with judgement. The question of moral relativism which is what you guys are discussing is more complex than can be imagined. Is something wrong because it offends a natural order/law or is something only wrong relative to the culture/time etc...

    Grenadier VS Tank/Marine

    while I share your frustration I dont agree with your In real life statement History is peppered with examples of technologically inferior armies defeating superior armies. Its rare but it happens very similar to what you describe its rare but it happens Case in point : Zulu routing...

    Anyway to speed up time between turns?

    I have played CIV since the first inception right through the series as well as CTP. I must say that the game has became less enjoyable with the longer wait time. I dont think it is reasonable for coders to expect the market to have uber machines in order to play the game. A persistant memory...
