    Upgrading tanks to modern armour

    Just wondering... I upgraded my tanks to modern armour. It cost me 0 :c5gold:. Is this a bug or normal game behaviour?

    Removing demo files

    I can't find Civ V Demo on Steam after I installed the game. The Demo still keeps updating itself. I'd like to remove those files, since they are only wasting hard drive space. How do I remove them?

    Where's Dan Quayle?

    How come I have missed something like that? I won the game but didn't see any list of preloaded scores.

    Where's Dan Quayle?

    Every Civilization title so far has had a reference to Dan Quayle. I couldn't find it in Civ V on my firt playthrough. I hope they haven't dropped it. He's an important part of Civ legacy.

    Has the game finally been released for the rest of the world?

    Use the task manager to give Steam a higher priority. That made decrypting run faster.

    Civ V retail WON'T be in a box

    I still remember the day I got Civ1 out of box... A big manual that I read a dozen times from cover to cover. The same thing happened with Civ2, Civ3, Civ4. I'm really disappointed if civ5 comes without a proper printed manual. The Civ manual is a long tradition that is about to be...

    Recent Civ5 Previews

    Hmm.. One unit per tile... No stack attacks? I wonder if there still were a way to make stacks: maybe we could spend :hammers: in cities to upgrade our existing armies. Make a unit in a city --> choose an army where you want to attach it --> one army per tile. Would this make any sense?

    No symbols on city screen

    I installed BUG mod on my new high-end machine running Windows 7. It seems all the symbols on city screen are missing: no :health:, :yuck:, :gold:, :espionage:. No resource symbols. I love BUG mod, but now I'm forced to play without it. Is there a way to change this?

    Resolution with Google sidebar

    Hi! I'm trying to run the game on a 1360 x 768 resolution monitor with Google sidebar running on right side while playing. I've tried several custom resolutions to fit the game window in the remaining space on the monitor, but all seem to shrink the fonts and thus make the game look less...

    How to deal with Zara?

    I started to play on prince some time ago. I seem to have a constant problem with Zara of the Ethiopians as a neighbour. In every game I play he gets a huge techonological advantage over me. If we get the same religion, he's usually very friendly towards me. However, his technological...

    Leaderheads slowdowns

    I have the same problem with a high-end laptop I just bought. I'm using a HP HDX 18 laptop with nvidia 9600 1024Mb and 4Gb RAM, but still get massive slowdowns with leaderheads. My previous system ran the game smoothly. I tried to lower the resolution, but that didn't help. The machine...

    Do you use Civ4 quotes in your everyday discussion?

    My friends find it kind of amusing when I throw a Civ4 line like "Do not throw an arrow which will return against you..." or "You can't direct the wind but you can adjust your sails". Have you started to use those quotes in your everyday discussion? Which is your favourite quote?

    Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States

    After 8 years of misery I can finally feel sympathy for America. Thank you, Americans, for voting for Obama!

    Roads are too dim

    I think the roads are not visible enough on certain terrains such as plains. I sometimes have to move my cursor on a tile to confirm if there is a road or not. And I do not even have issues with colour blindness or such... I'm using the Blue marble textures. Does anyone know if there is a mod...

    Learning by doing?

    Ok. So I assume it's impossible to have a single master sugar planter in the whole game if there aren't any natives that teach that skill?
