    Laptop Specs Question

    Every year when the new model came out his old one just seemed to break, huh? :mischief: Just joking. What you said seems to be pretty good advice.

    What the hell is wrong with AI diplomacy?

    You are now a threat. He needs an excuse. Warmongering is only evil when someone else does it.

    How does it run on... an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

    Okay, but here's the kicker... I want to export to a 1920 x 1080 res monitor. Am I still in the clear?

    How does it run on... an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650

    Any laptop owners out there with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics card? I would like to know how the game is running for you, to help my purchase of a new laptop. (Civ is the extent of my only PC gaming.) I'm looking at a model with a 5650 and a Intel Core i5 460M(2.53GHz) processor.

    What have I done wrong in my Greek Empire game?

    There's your answer. The A.I. is not going to let you win because you're a nice guy.

    So what's up with the super ugly rivers?

    Actually, wrong. They looked better in the pre-release screenshots, and we still complained. Release... Pre-release... Looking back, just using the ocean water overlay would have been fine. I can't believe the deemed the "upgraded" river graphics an improvement.

    Anyway to speed up loading times?

    I think someone mentioned defraging your hard drive would help with load/turn times. I don't have the game yet though, so I'm not sure.

    Epic Civ Music Video

    Nobody else found this to be an incredible video? I guess everyone is too busy playing V while I sit and wait for delivery of my new laptop. EDIT: Christopher Tin even commented on it!

    Long long turn loading time...anyone?

    I seem to remember reading somewhere that if you defrag your hard drive, it will fix the problem. Because it seems like you should be able to run it great with your specs.

    Epic Civ Music Video

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL6wlTDPiPU I'm guessing this has been posted somewhere already, but I haven't seen it. Premise: What if Civilization (Baba Yetu) had lyrics?

    Why can't we see other civs' technology progess?

    Unknown != Random Recon IS the new strategy. And the not knowing makes war a riskier and (buzzword) interesting decision.

    I Think They Hide Diplomatic Because...

    I'm glad its hidden. The CPU doesn't have a number that tells him how much I love/hate everybody, why should I have a number that tells me about the CPU's feelings? Put yourself in their shoes. You're a means to an end, just like they are to you. If you're being helpful to them in achieving...

    Rivers and roads are very poor!

    Another (perhaps better) screenshot of the earlier design.

    Rivers and roads are very poor!

    Here's something weird... I went back and checked the pre-release screenshots... The rivers were always poorly shaped, but they were much better colored (they just used the ocean water graphics for the rivers). From the time of the screenshot below to the release, they went BACKWARDS in the...

    Talkin' Monitors

    I'm upgrading my 19" 4:3 ratio-ed monitor to a 23"+ widescreen, I thought I'd come here to see if anyone had any recommendations. So far my only requirements are that it is under $200 and it has a 2ms or less response time. Is there any other must-have specs? Any recommendations on specific...
