So I was disappointed to see the lack of a Replay when finishing games. However, I just noticed a Replays directory with .Civ5Replay files in it for each game I'd finished. I looked all over the game for a way to view these but didn't find anything. Is there a way to view these, or are these...

1) If you earn an extra golden age while one is in progress (through a social poicy or wonder, for example), the amount of turns of the new GA will just be added to the current one, so you don't lose anything by just taking it as soon as possible instead of delaying. 2) I've put off social...

Hopefully chkdsk /f works, since I'm even unable to delete this file from Windows Explorer, actually. I get the following:

Some characters (such as the question mark) are simply disallowed (save becomes grayed out when one is present), and that is NOT a bug but a limitation of the file system. However, some characters do NOT gray out save and try to create the file. You end up with a size 0 file that cannot be...

As Stalker said, there's a 3 day transit time (as mentioned by the in-game tooltips). To your last point, I don't believe the influence gain is the main reason to gift units. It's balanced to make gold a far better option for influence gain. For one thing, if unit gifting gave too much...

When the promotion box is up at the bottom left of the screen, you'll see a small button at the top right corner of the box marked "Edit". That's your renaming. You can only rename DURING the promotion. After you've assigned the promotion the edit box is gone until the next promotion. The "no"...

There's so much missing in-game information it's definitely frustrating. Things as simple as what effects tile improvements will have on the tile's output are spotty at best (until you have the worker in the tile and hover over the improvement icon; I'd really like to know *before* that what...

I've only played 2.5 games so far, so maybe there's something odd about the games I played, but so far I've had to play the build-it-everywhere game at least half a dozen times per game, particularly in the later game (if you're in the modern era and you aren't at war, you're booming, so you...

Common event in Civ: You have a 15-city empire, and plenty of coal already hooked up from learning its locations a couple dozen turns ago. You discover the tech for Factories! Civ4: Open city, Ctrl-click factory, right arrow, ctrl-click factory, etc, once per city. Voila, at the top of each...

Clearly a ghost is painting a target for a nuke. Get your units outta there! ;) In all seriousness, though, I've had this happen as well. Only a couple of times over a few hours, though, so I'm not too concerned. A patch will probably fix it.

As the first person to ever read a license agreement in the history of law (including the lawyers writing them, apparently), I found this pretty hilarious (p.227 of the English manual): What the hell does Nintendo have to do with anything? Did Take Two copy-paste this license agreement from...

I was confused at first as well, but a quick Google showed me what was going on for sure. Most likely, the people taking offense at the use of that terminology are British. It's a cultural difference at play here. In the US, "pissed off" is just an informal but not even remotely crude synonym...

I've seen the stealing chickens and annoying women thing three dozen times, got dull quick, but with the Aztecs I saw two tresspass-related messages I hadn't seen before. One when I was tresspassing: Ah, Alexander. I assume that the Greek troops near to Tenochtitlan have come to volunteer as...

Hey, Aeson, did you realize you could hit Ctrl-Shift-M to clear cities and improvements off the map to more easily see resources? The AI can't really "hide" anything from the watchful gaze of the mighty hotkey :>
