    Chislev Module

    With this latest revision, my Chislev module has been added in, so I wanted to make a topic to cover its aspects in full. You may use this thread for discussion of the module, reporting bugs, or making suggestions. There’s a lot to cover here, so if you want the short version: I’ve added six...

    [SDK] Can't Build Solution/DLL

    Sorry, I'm really new to this, so hopefully I'm just overlooking something simple here... I've been following https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/a-simple-guide-to-compiling-the-dll.405444/ but I am using Visual Studio 2013 (which I've noticed other people said works). Also, I'm on Windows 10...

    [PYTHON] Python Event Trigger String

    I'm brand new to this, so pardon the dumb question. In a (working) Python code like: Event = self.EventTriggers trigger = pPlayer.trigger trigger( Event["Hawk vs Dove"]) Where is it finding the string "Hawk vs Dove" from? When I substitute my event, "Tribal Law Election"...

    Quick Science Victory Tips?

    A coworker of mine has Civ 5 and said we should play together tomorrow. I've barely played Civ 5 and, despite having Brave New World, certainly haven't played that at all (more of a Civ 4 guy). I'm honestly not very worried about him being that good (he said something about just getting riflemen...

    Can't Seem to Play RiFE: Any Help?

    I can't seem to play RiFE, which is odd, because I use to play it all the time (on this same computer). After I got plagued by OOS errors I uninstalled RiFE, but I decided to give it another go using the Final Fixes+Final Fixes Reborn patches. Now whenever I try to do a multiplayer game, even if...

    Are There Restrictions on the Command Promotion?

    So I was playing as Lanun, operating under The Order religion. Using Sphener, I was trying to convert Bannor's Donal Lugh, but after trying several times (with Command IV, which should be 70% conversion chance) nothing was happening. I figured maybe I couldn't convert a national hero unit. So I...

    No New Achievements?

    So I started the game up and restarted Steam, but I don't see any new Steam achievements. The guide said something about there being an achievement for sharing spy intrigue with a nation that shared intrigue with you. So has my Steam just not updated the achievement list or have none actually...

    How to Excel at Noble Peacefully?

    I prefer to play more peacefully (alas, most guides tell you to warmonger - and on map settings I don't like, no less). I'll have maybe one or two wars my entire game, then settle down for a culture victory, U.N. victory, or science victory. To me, wars take too long and are frustrating (I...

    I Think They Hide Diplomatic Because...

    ... There are no diplomatic modifiers. I was playing a game as Babylon on Warlord difficulty. I never declared war on anybody on my own accord; however, Washington asked me twice to assist him in wars (one against Songhai and one against Egypt). I agree to assist him on both accounts. We also...

    Oh Civilization V, How You Tease Me...

    So today I have class from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (EST), and then work at 5:00 until 11:00 PM. I have a 40 minute gap between two of my classes - a gap I need to utilize to study for the test in that class. However, I go outside, and bell music is playing. It was Civilization 4 music. So I say...

    Your Favorite Wonders

    What are some of your favorite wonders? You can either provide your overall favorites or your favorite by era, or compile a "tier list" if you'd like. So far (coming from a peace-monger) I'm liking Angkor Wat (better if you're doing fast expansion), Big Ben (gold is more useful in general...

    Babylon Guessing Thread

    Come up with a unique ability, unit/unit or unit/building for Babylon. The one who ends up the closest to the actual thing will, upon release, receive a pat on the back from me!* We already know the following: Leader = Nebuchadnezzar II. Unit = Bowman Here's my guess: Unit - Bowman: +1 ranged...

    What the Secret Unit Should Have Been

    Who cares about giant death robots? Those are bland an uninteresting. What we need is: Actual photograph of an attack on Iowa City on January 5th, 1942. That's right. Giant Death Gandhi. Why? Well I think the main reason everybody objects to the giant death robot is lack of realism. It ruins...

    How Do Achievements Work Exactly?

    There is probably no way of knowing this at the moment, but maybe people more familiar with Steam can provide some insight. As I've never used Steam, I don't know how achievements are handled in games. I'm guessing it differs a bit game-by-game, but I figure I'll ask regardless for discussion's...

    Direct 2 Drive Pre-Load Option Now Available

    For those of you who have pre-ordered Civilization V from Direct 2 Drive, you may now pre-load it onto your computer, like those who have pre-ordered it from Steam. This is regardless of your country. D2D will supply you with an activation key which you may put into your Steam client and begin...

    Anybody Else Worried About Purchasing Civ5 On Release?

    With all of the news about DLC coming out, such as two extra civilizations being available through D2D and Babylonia being available through the Deluxe Edition, I'm really questioning whether or not purchasing Civ5 upon its release will be a good idea. Even with Civ4 I would know of people who...

    Config File Keeps Resetting Itself

    This is sort of just a minor inconvenience, but something I'd like to fix nonetheless. Basically, whenever I start a game my settings default to all victory conditions being enabled, the map type as fractal, the size as standard, my difficulty as chieftain, and my user name as Chris. However...

    What Tile Improvements Do You Use?

    I'm new to Rise of Mankind, and as such, I often get pretty confused as to what to build when it comes to tile improvements. Heck, I'd get confused in regular BtS (I lie somewhere between noble and prince in difficulty), and often just spam cottages everywhere. Now with SO many different tile...
