Is there any way to manipulate Epic and Marathon to not be as brutal without affecting the progression of technology? I have looked at the XML file, and it would appear that you cannot detach the tech and civic progression from the build costs as you could in Civ V. I do not know enough about...

I am my school's quick recall coach (aka quiz bowl, academic trivia, etc.). We were in a local tournament this past weekend, and the following question gave me a chuckle given my 25 year relationship with Civilization. "A bug from its original edition has been left in as a joke in its more...

What do you foresee as the eventual change to trade routes? I think they will wind up being reduced to one per city with the "palace" giving one on its own. I'm not sure what will happen to the autoplant bonus route, but I think it will stay unchanged to start with a potential move/change...

Would this change be the "silver bullet" as it were to give melee back some mojo? I'm not one to use mods all that often, but if there is a mod out there that makes this change what are the ramifications? Archers would be almost exclusively defensive so melee/siege becomes the focus, but would...

Is there a mod out there that allows you to rename your units whenever you like? I'd love it if it could include great generals and the like.

I always liked the "Arboria" mapscript in Civ IV, but I've yet to find one for Civ V. I don't know how to get into the scripting codes, but I can imagine that if you were to take the "Jungle" mapscript and replace the preference for jungles with forests that would accomplish the goal. Is...

Does anyone do the "Starting Age: Classical" option? Do you find you're in a better place or a worse place than if you slogged through the ancient era? Does anyone in particular prefer this to an ancient start?

Have they said anything about what our "free DLC" was going to be if we pre-ordered? Is it set or can we pick. I kind of want the map packs that have come out, but didn't know if they were fair game.

I have been considering the ridiculously simplistic tech-tree recently. I've seen the research increase mods and think that those are all well and good, but those can still be abused due to the presently overpowered Great Scientists. My thought for a mod is one that I'm sure 90% of the...

Currently, I'm playing a game as America on a Large Fractal Map at Marathon speed. I didn't sprawl early and picked up my third policy before I placed my third city, but after I picked up Liberty 1, I spread out to six cities spanning the equator on my continent with four of them with two on...

Like many of you, I am working on a mod. I, however, have no coding experience. So I, like many of you, have no idea if my approach to the code is correct or would even do a dang thing. That's why I wanted to make this post. Yes, it's about my current issue, but I thought it could serve as...

The title might sound weird, but I was just wondering why cities don't act their strength. I can understand from range being a bit overpowered, but when a unit attacks my city things should be different. Example... I've used a longswordsman to attack a horseman and vice-versa. The result...

I would like to make some changes to unit maintenance. I'm not a modding expert, nor do I understand everything in the XML files, but I would be willing to do this myself if I get some guidance. Alternatively, if anyone is working on this modcomp already and likes my ideas could you let me...

One of my major gripes about the Civ series is that you spend about equal time in each age when it comes to game length. Historically, however, we spent the longest time in the older ages and the shortest time in the present ones. Civ accomplishes this by making the years between turns longer...

A lot of people have been citing concerns with some UA's and so I worked out some thoughts to adjust them slightly and wanted to put it out there for general consumption and possible modding... Possible modded changes to civilization UA’s America: Manifest Destiny (Keep +1 sight, Remove -25%...

**I have downloaded the SDK and decided to start this project myself though I could still use help. Please follow this thread if you are interested in this mod.** A lot of discussion has been had the past week on the hammer cost of things and the maintenance required for various things. I...

In a recent game on an archipelago map I was expanding towards small islands in order to nab resources and "claim the land for Jolly Old England" when I came across a location that I knew was rather close to Alexander (six tiles away most of them ocean). I settled the colony and he rode up...

I'm playing on an archipelago map with the British (yes I know... OPness in full effect), and I just went through a minor REX to drop a settlement near as many resources as I could. I've finished that phase, but on the last few colonies I started a standard build order (even though this game...

I am an unlucky one today. I'm stuck at work and won't be able to get online until later. For you lucky ones who are taking a few minutes between turns to check in here could you answer some pressing questions? If you get a second social policy and choose a different branch what do you lose...

With 36 tiles possible for your cities in a hexagonal spread, how far apart are you planning to space your cities? Based on the gameplay I've seen people seem to be keeping to the old 4 tiles apart strat although others seem to be much closer. Based on the fact that I've seen endgame...
