I got everything all set up to try the bootcamp route but when I try to open Civ I got a "no compatible graphic device" error even though the game runs fine on my OSX side. I tried googling for it and I couldn't find a good solution. Has anyone dealt with this?

I have read about Communitas (http://communitas.wikia.com/wiki/Communitas_Wiki) and it looks really promising although it seems like a pretty intensive mod and I don't want to end up breaking my app and not having it work. I have looked at the mod instructions and understand them but I was...

For some reason I have been obsessed with playing on Maze maps. If you don't even know what that is, one of the custom map generators is called Maze. It lets you choose how wide the land plots are, and makes a maze of land and water. Thematically speaking, I like to imagine some greater power...

I wanted to play some AfterWorld but I didn't have a HUD. I have a feeling this is a side effect of the BUG mod. It's been like... a year since I installed BUG mod and I have no memory of how I installed it or how I uninstalled it. So I guess the question is, can I do something to make BUG...

I purchased the deluxe version of Civ5 off steam because I wanted the soundtrack. The download didn't seem to include any additional content. I asked on the Steam Forums where my DLC was and the users told me to dig into my user/library/applicationsupper/steam/civ5/assets folder to get the sound...

When you make or take a new city, it increases the amount of happinesses you need to get a golden age, but by how much? I heard each city after the first adds 30% more culture to get an other policy. Is it the same with Golden Age?

When/How do we get mongols?

I am confused how adding cities to your empire messes with your policy rate. Does having a larger empire making it take longer to get policies overall? How do puppets effect it? Does taking a city out of puppet mode effect it?

Can someone please explain how to play ICS (Infinite City Spam) style? or point me to the correct thread? I am a civ 2 and civ 3 vet so I am very familiar with what ISC means and how to play it in those games. However the way unhappiness works in this game makes it seem a little weird. In...

Who pays for roads that are out of my cultural boarders? Is each road tied to the worker that constructed it? Or are roads outside of borders just not paid for? My questions was birthed when a city state on my continent demanded a road to my capital. But it would cost me 10 or more roads to...

I wanted to try playing some BotS mods like Final Frontier and Defense but they don't work right. When I load them and make a new game there is no HUD. I have a feeling this problem is related to installing the BUG mod because when I was having trouble installing it I had the same problem, lack...

I just played another game where even though I took over my whole continent, and it was the largest on the map, I couldn't sit still. I had a huge army and had to just go win domination although I was totally set to win the space race. If I wasn't building units all the time I have no idea what...

Currently unique buildings are automatically destroyed on city capture right? I wish they were never destroyed on city capture. That would be awesome, and it would make attacking certain civ much more attractive than others. The Dutch for example, with all those juicy dikes. Also some...

I had a cool idea for a national wonder, I think. Orbital Satellite, and what it does is give vision of the whole world. Wouldn't that be sweet? Feel free to post your ideas of cool wonders (but not game breaking!)

Above the city name, on the world map there appear a bunch of symbols. Like the religion symbol and corporations, and defense. I understand most of them. Well actually I understand what they all mean, but I don't get how or why they appear. Some cities have a hammer, a beaker, or a pile of...

I have a few issues with upgrades in this game. I had really strong opinions about this in Civ III as well, eventually I had my game modded to fit what I wanted. My biggest gripe is I hate how wooden ships upgrade to metal ships, and how infantry upgrade to mech infantry. Wooden ships do not...

I guess I can't get my difficulty level figured out. I thought I was a monarch player, because i really have to fight to get ahead. The problem is I get ahead around military science or steel. Then I just run over my nearest AI with Granadiers when he has longbows or macemen. Then if I can keep...

I sent some privateers out to blockade, I heard money sounds and collected various little sums of money however I don't really get what's going on. How much area do they blockade? What effect does the blockade have on my enemy? Do they lose the money I am getting? Do they lose...

Ok so you only get 1 Wallstreet and 1 Oxford. So it makes sense to pump a city up as much as possible with science and money multipliers to reap maximum rewards. This is easy to understand. Money Powerhouse probably has a shrine to a religion, a market, grocer, bank, harbor, maybe even a...

I feel like I have been reading conflicting information about how building these things works. Do they, or do they not, run through modifier buildings like Libraries and Banks?
