Wonder if anyone else is feeling the way I do. Gold is not a problem to me. I've gotten the hang of it and by 1600 I can have over 100+ gold in, which can help set up a military quite well. However, when it comes to everything else, I'm getting my ass kicked. Does the AI pursue science...

I'm having this exact same problem, right after my Windows 8 upgrade.

On a related note, I've discovered the game works under Directx 9 and goes incredibly quickly when everything is on the lowest quality graphics. The problem with the land textures seemed to be gone on Directx 9. I'm still incredibly confused though. Whenever I move the graphics (fog of war...

Oh dear forgive me. Continents, Large Map, Standard Pace, Prince. Almost always that way. I'm usually one to go for liberty, but part of me is wondering if Tradition is the way to go. Perhaps expanding the borders early on to claim nearby forests for the road bonus, as well as the food...

Which driver? And is there one you'd recommend I can upgrade to? Thanks for the help. :)

They are, by far, my favorite Civ. The fact that forests work as roads is great when it comes to gold, so you can get a pretty nice income early on in the game. Mohawk warriors are incredible and defense, and longhouses can make incredible production for your cities along with lumber mills...

I've attached my dxdiag. :)

Hey there, I was just wondering, when you had the texture problem with land in Civ V, did you ever get that resolved? I'm having the exact same issue and can't seem to find a fix. Thanks!

I re-installed the game and still have the exact same issue. :(

Hey all, So, after much pain and heartbreak, I've finally got Windows 8 Pro up and running. I'm currently in the midst of working on re-installing my programs. Anyways, the issue I'm having is with the maps. The land doesn't come out looking like... well, the normal high quality land I...

What on Earth did this patch do to gold revenue? Maybe it is just me, but suddenly even the really simply levels (prince and lower) have become more challenging than they used to be. It did something to happiness too. I was playing Rome, militaristic with 15 happiness and +40 gold. Updated the...

I don't know about you guys, but every time - literally, every time - that Persia pops up when I'm discovering new Civs, I'm ridiculously frustrated and half the time don't even want to deal with them or play the game. I purposefully go to "advanced" and put in Civs I want to play against just...

So I've been playing the Civ series since Civ3 (a long time) and I have done pretty well on most of them, but of course as the games advanced it became more and more difficult for victory. I can play the game fine until I reach Prince. Whenever I get there I just have to quit around 1500 -...

Such as, is it possible to annex one without having to conquer it? Can you become such good friends with one you have the chance to annex it? Using force just seems like a waste, or I just don't have the power. Thanks.

I have the game and it obviously worked perfectly on my old PC, but I really want to play it on my new Mac. So how do I install it? I put it in and after that, I'm lost as to how to install it. Please help. :)
