    Looking for games to join

    Hi, my steam account is Antiphon120, message me if you are still looking for players to join, cloud or normal multiplayer. Just feel free to ask anytime during the next two weeks, I don't do much else than playing civ right now. I usually play single player on normal or big, shuffled or...

    [Vanilla] Graphic glitch - "Line of Cloud" - I NEED to know if others have seen this

    These lines, most often of clouds, sometimes of camp fires, do appear at random. They usually flicker as I zoom and scroll, and are gone after end of turn. I have no mods installed, tried the usual reinstall, update of drivers, windowed mode etc. to no avail. I cannot recall a specific update...

    Crash in Civ Beyond Earth After Selecting Seeding Options

    Stupid question, do you have "stereoscopic 3D" enabled in the Nvidia Control Panel? My game crashes the same way when enabled, may Montezumas Curse be upon Firaxis!

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    @forty2j @whiterussian Thank you very much for those links, that's exactly the same problem I am experiencing, and yes, I can run 1920x1080 windowed. Still feel cheated by the Firaxis Dev tream I had trusted so much, especially for removing 3D. They wouldn't mind then playing games with an...

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    Update: I tried removing the HDMI cable to the TV, leaving the double-DVI from the monitor as the only output, I installed the latest NVidia drivers (3.44.48) and rebooted of course, but nothing has changed, I am stuck with 1600x900 at 119Hz. As for the 3D, I did not bother yet, because the...

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    OK, first part is the resolution. For the sake of clarity, I understand that you are talking of a 2550x1440 resolution. I still cannot find anything higher in 16:9 than 1600x900 as of now. I do have a TV hooked up via HDMI, but whenever I start CivBE, I do have it checked in the NVidiaControl...

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    Move this to Bug forum I'm neither a troll nor stupid (according to an IQ test made at an psychiatrist 3 years ago, logged at 143). And I have played some rounds at least (in 900p and 2D) in hope of finding a magic button. I'm a very disappointed civfan, who STILL can't select anything higher...

    "Thanks" for making a grown man cry!

    First let me say the following rage rant is not based on any gameplay. I did just start up this game for the first time right now. I have yet to finish turn 1. It's rather the technology, especially graphics engine. I'm an old civ veteran, who also played Alpha Centauri a lot. Recently, I had...

    Liberation is a joke

    Liberating Cities is just "nice", but reviving a civ is super duper nice. One time Austria was conquerde by Portugal, and after I had liberated them, they gave me their vote in the UN.

    Your annex criteria?

    Having enough happiness to be able to afford it. In the long run, its either raze and burn or annex for me. When warmongering Ill wait for the courthouse tenets of the ideoligies to kick in.

    2nd Settler..... do you build or wait for liberty?

    Sometimes I do hardbuild my second settler before policy, especially when I dipped honor first and still need to get rolling.

    Most powerful civ feature?

    I would say Poland, followed closely by Greece, Persia and Siam. Because, unlike other features, which can be (more) powerful under the right circumstances, those features are good regardless of map. - Zulu: Military powerhouse on Pangea, less so on archipelago. Only XP bonus stays with navy...

    Honesty and self critique

    My biggest flaw is going for the shiny things and neglecting my duties, especially military wise. "Oh, such a nice wonder, only 15 turns!" "That would be a nice place for city, need to build settler omfg!" And when it comes to military:"hmm, only 20 turns til I've got barracks in all my...

    Civs AI doesn't do well with

    I had two games with indonesia becoming a military powerhouse and a contender for a victory. In one of these games, they totally conquered the Netherlands...:lol: I agree that the Mongols are usually subpar, though any civ can become a powerhouse, given enough luck. The problem with the AI...
