    this game is boring

    I mostly agree with Thorite, the game is boring... but there are parts of Civ V I like. 1UPT, Hex tiles, range units actually being able to kill things from a distance, I can't remember any ranged units attacking from a distance or even nukes being able to kill units in Civ 4 (this is from...

    Civilization Anonymous is back

    I thought the Civ 4 one was funnier, until right at the end where the guy dressed as Ceasar Say's "No more turns" in latin lol.

    Announcement Trailer for Civ5

    Agreed with Tech voices... can't wait to hear more of them... anyone here wanna guess which quote fits with which tech? "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" - Eleanor Roosevelt -Future Tech Anyone? That's the only obvious one for me.

    PolyCast Episode 63: "That Makes One of Us"

    I Was thinking about the introducing a new gunpowder seige unit (aka Bombard) that may obsolete ealy issue, instead of having the bombards upgrade to Canons, keep it as a secondary weaker Seige unit specialised in something. From memory, I believe you can still build Catapults in the middle...

    PolyCast Episode 63: "That Makes One of Us"

    Is it only me? because I can't find the Elusive Gunpowder Seige Unit (Pre-canon). I was thinking of having Canons require Military Tradition and Steel to push it further down the tech tree.

    PolyCast Christmas Special 2008: "Have a Merry Little Humbug"

    ^Just parts of it... all the christmas/civ references were ok I guess... maybe my expectations were a little too high... I like last years Xmas polycast better because of PigIron lol.

    Tanks no more cause collateral damage on 3.17

    I believe Flanking no longer works for units attacking across a river or Amphibious in the 3.17 patch I think... or was it an older patch? Why is the reason for no Flanking under those circumstances??? I never considered it overpowered... Maybe it's to prevent the Sirian Doctrine where you...

    Best cheater contest

    Fusion for the Free GE which equals Free Pyramids :P ( I know chessy) OR Philosophy with Egypt + UB = Free Prophets and Relgion Wonder Strategy. OR Liberalism for Extremely early cultural Victory with Free Speech + Free Religion for happiness. Which tech givs you access to...

    Logic behind Tribute / AP stop war

    You need to have all the Pikeman's upgradable units available before they are eliminated from the build queue (aka become technically obsolete)... I think Pikman can upgrade to grenadiers, I can't remember. eg - I can build Archers & Longbowmen or Archers & Crossbowmen, once both Longbowmen...

    Gving the Musketeer a 25% melee Bonus

    Yeah that too... Were Muskets really easier to train then Longbows? (I've never studied history so I wouldn't know) Then why not make Muskets cheaper then they currently are, since they take less time to train... although I wouldn't make them cheaper then Longbows for Game Balance...

    Gving the Musketeer a 25% melee Bonus

    I don't consider it weak. It's pretty reasonable... do you guys also consider the Zulu Impi Weak? As it has a similar bonus. You're proabaly not leveraging it properly, have you tried combining it with Mounted units and Spies? The fast movement allows you to travel to cities quickly and the...

    PolyCast Episode 53: "How Do Hotcakes Sell?" with 'Sisiutil'

    ooooo.... and here I was looking forward to Sisiutil discussing with you guys about his ALCs. Too bad there wasn't a ALC Topic.... ah well looking forward to (Girls playing Civ) GPC With Sid. :P. I'm gonna predict the next GPC with air next Xmas. *shrugs* just makes sense... since the last...

    ALC Game #25: Celts/Boudica

    You may want to consider using GII Archers/Longbows to quickly defend captured hilled cities since their GII will allow to the travel those those cities quickly. Just anotehr idea to leverage the UB.

    Best Leador.. Worst Leader?

    I don't think there are best & Worst Leaders, it all depends on your play style, like most people have said in previous threads. As for Toku, the UU isn't very hard to leverage, just basically use it like a normal macemen for City Raiding, the extra 1st strikes are for negate the defending...

    ALC Game #25 Pre-Game Show: Playing as the Celts/Boudica

    Yeah I should've mention it but since the game has been out for a long time I thought Civ Fans like us would already know. Yeah it stinks that Dun Obsolete, if they never obsoleted, they would make a pretty decent UB.

    ALC Game #25 Pre-Game Show: Playing as the Celts/Boudica

    Wow looks like I'm late to the party :P. Well with the Celts, if you want to fully leverage their UB you haveto tech differently then normal... kinda like Spain delaying Economics, in the Celts case you should delay Rifling, I know that may sound kinda conflicting with a leader like Bodica on a...
