Dropping this here, as it's not completely OT. Understand if a mod determines it should be moved. While reading In Search of Dracula (McNally & Florescu) I came upon a reference to Matthias Corvinus. The Hungarian King held Vlad the Impaler in prison (edit: house-arrest) for 12 years...

I've started two games in GS and both start becoming progressivley sluggish around 1300's-1500's. Both games on standard size maps with the default number of rivals/city-states. Graphics set low, where I always play games - which what made this issue so noticeable. Excerpts from my Aspyr...

I held off completing the circumnavigation of the globe because the Era was ending in 2 turns. I wanted the points for completing the circumnavigation to go toward the next era. However, on the next turn, the game acknowledged the circumnavigation even though I had not completing cleared the...

This bug crawled out this morning. Upon starting a new game, the turns automatically begin processing and your left to watch. Found others are experiencing the same issue, but a complete reinstall did nothing to solve it. Passing it on to Aspyr next. I did add a user-created mod for realistic...

This may have already been addressed, but just wondering about the chances of getting a BERT GOTM?

Anyone have an interesting custom game set-up you'd care to share? I'm basically thinking here about specific sponsors and affinity focus (plus victory goal) paired to map type, difficulty level, biome, and native life aggression level. It may be you found them particularly fun, interesting...

I noticed this during a game I had going for a while. Thought it may have been an issue with playing a save file after the last update. However, in a new game, it appeared when I tried to connect my first trade route. Any ideas what the text means in the image attached?

It drops at 1 PM (EST) on Steam.

Playing as Poland on King. Attila had encroached in a region where Augustus was eradicated. I moved in by sea to whittle down The Huns, who with the Ottomans were creating geopolitical turmoil. I liberated Rome and brought them back into the game. I was not aiming for a diplo win, and I didn't...

In the event of a tie, does the ruling default to the "ayes"? I ask because I had one tie that did, but I also was the WC host and voted for the resolution. So, I wonder if the ruling in a tie goes toward the opinion the host voted? I posted this in the "Simple Questions, Simple Answers"...

In my first game, a rival civ was suffering a -31 :c5angry: in civil resistance. Their ideology never changed. Any idea what the tipping point is?

Playing my second game as Venice (first was w/ Assyria) on Prince level. I must say, Venice is an interesting civ. I think I've been looking around at the new features too much, as I've let Songhai become a bit too large. They're now encroaching on my continent. All in all, I'm really enjoying...

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and it's expansion, Alien Crossfire, are again available for OS X. One of my favs of all time. SMAC/X at GOG.com

Anyone know where they are kept? They're not in the 'saves' folder, and I've had no luck tracking them down. Also, did they change the 'Hall of Fame?' I've finished my second G&K game, but it only listed that last game. My first game was gone. I'm wondering if they added an option to view...

IMG has posted a news bit for the June 19 release of Civ5: Gods & Kings on the Mac. They're offering a 10% discount for the digital d/l version. I'd prefer a box copy. Is it going to be offered at all? Article

Does anyone know where they are located? I'd like to delete many of them. Thanks!

Another little personal milestone accomplished. I just finished playing games with all the civs, DLC included. How many civs have you played? I found Siam (Culture), Mongols (Domination), Spain (Technology), and Songhai (Diplomacy) to be fun games. I won my last with the Aztecs (Technology) on...

A silly thread to celebrate eclipsing 200 hours of gameplay. Humor me. ;) How many hours have you played Mac Civ5?

I've noticed in several of my games, when switching from Piety branch to Rationalism branch of social policies, that the results from anarchy vary. I've had 20+ unhappiness before, which caused rebels to appear. This last game, I had 17 unhappiness. COuple questions: (1) Is this related...
