Hi folks, Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but this seemed the best place for it rather than start yet another thread. Firstly Christopher, if you're still lurking, Baba Yetu - beautiful piece of music. I hope you're not tired of people telling you that, you should be very proud. =)...

We'd come to the same conclusion but ultimately decided to begin again, figuring that on a pangea map mid game the removal of an ai would complete upset the power balance. Thank you though. Cyrano

As the title suggests. I've been playing this particular game with a friend for a few weeks now. We're just approaching the middle of the game and at the end of my turn the game is hanging with the 'waiting for other civs' message displayed at the bottom of the screen. Bizzarely I can still...

I am curious to see whether pbem will actually make it into civ V seeing as steam has no email/pm system atm. :( Cyrano

With all the talk of Steam and civ V was doing some reading/research and came across this comic thread. Way to go Rockstar! :crazyeye: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1263556 It really is comic how some companies behave. Cyrano

It is possible to make a copy of your steamapps folder. Then if anything ever does happen to steam and you need to reinstall install steam copy your duplicate steamapps folder to the correct location. When your run Steam it will detect the games, say it's updating/installing (I forget which) and...

We're not powerless to stop it. But the scale of the budget and resources needed against the projected gains makes it not worthwhile. The worlds eyes are elsewhere. Most projects are possible. Give me a big enough budget and no ethical or moral constraints and I can turn Everest into a 3 storey...

I beg to differ. Codemasters Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising came out with not even a serial number to input. That is a big budget title by a large production company that was released less than a year ago. Mandatory Steam for a Civ game is not the way forward. /signed. Cyrano

As far as buying content through Steam yes. The fact I use Steam daily and help run a large multigaming community means of course I know nothing about Steam, it's reputation, and it's actual usuability. :splat::sarcasm::rolleyes: Cyrano

Once upon a time in a gaming cafe far, far away long before the inception of Steam I started playing a very early HL 1 mod called Day of Defeat. It was free, easy to play and a good alternative to CounterStrike. It was a great community and the dev team worked hard to make it a polished product...

I.e, he was king from age four but didn't personally rule until later in his life.... Cyrano

Exactly right. Peversely while longer to train Longbows could have gone toe to toe with say your Napoleonic era troops. Wellington with a several regiments of longbows would have been interesting to see. The lack of armour worn by troops and the rank and file way of fighting would have enabled...

21. Your workers are toughened by years in the fields, they can take care of themselves without an escort.

Surely this would be an event which would make you think of history & sport before a story? Cyrano

Good as it stands! Cyrano

Unfortunately I had a barbarian rising very early and they wiped my only two cities out. I was then given the choice to take over another civ or not. I chose not and was respawned with one settler and a lion??? See attached save. I'm assuming this really ain't intended. Would make a great civ...

Think this is the right place. Not a major error however just had the: "Scouts exploring ruins near....." event and it gives me two options. Send commendations and fund further exploration however both give +87 :science:. Fund further exploration merely charges me 29 :gold: for the privledge...

Sorry but that doesn't hold a lot of water with me. That's merely being able to identify chokeholds which certainly is nothing new. You could accomplish the same thing with any missile weaponry. Hell it's possible with melee weapons. Remember this is a very specific promo; Only available to...

There's a wonderful description in the novel 'Cry Wolf' of Ethiopian tribesmen taking out a couple of Italian tanks with railway sleepers; Jammed them into the sprockets and then set the poor sods on fire. It's not always luck but human ingenuity that can deal with advanced tech. Cyrano

As it happens....... :p Greek spoken is modern greek and same meaning as all the other languages. Cyrano
