My first GOTM since GOTM22 a couple of years back :) I've had a break playing CIV, but read good reviews on BNW and thought I would give it a go again. And no better place to learn new game mechanics and tactics than this forum and especialle GOTM, which I enjoy very much. Really good concept...

Game status: Culture Victory Game date: 1780AD Turns played: 266 Base score: 1600 Final score: 3018 Settled 3 cities (starting location, south by gems and east by wine and iron). I was waiting to upgrade my Jaguars until a was Dow'ed. Unfortunately both England (the AI leader) and...

I got mine working now, after deleting Civ and Steam, reinstalling Steam and then reinstalling Civ for the third time... Took a lot of time, but hopefully the files won't be dissapearing again

I have the same problem. All of my DLC's (mongolia, spain/inca and denmark) suddenly seems to be missing. I can't load my saved games as it says I don't have the DLC's. I can't play scenarios. I have reinstalled the game and made Steam verify the game files, but that didn't help. Steam...

Turn 243 diplomatic win My first game in a couple of months, so I noticed there have been quite a bit of balancing patches. Haven't tried the diplomatic victory before in Civ V, so I lost a good deal of turns because of bad timing. But all in all a fun game. Founded 3 cities my self and...

Argh, my game just got ruined by a bug. I decided to go warmongering early in the game and had an archer and 2 warriors ready to take Egypts capitol, when Egypt sends out a ghost warrior! I cannot attack it with my warriors (they just walk right over it, same tile) and my archer can't fire...

I agree, that if it's going to be domination win again, then the level should be at least King. I'm no civ master and had a tough time on monarch in Civ 4. But after 3 games of Civ 5 I'm playing Immortal to get an exciting game and resistance from the AI. Culture seems by far the hardest way...

This was also my first GOTM ever. I really like the GOTM concept, and it's fun to read your experiences on the same game. I didn't take notes, and don't know how this replay-thingy works, but I have a few key lessons I learned: 1. I never was a warmongerer in Civ4, and was a bit surprised...

Hi all I´m playing Civ V with no problems on default settings. However, I wanted to test if there would be less waiting between turns, if I set the graphics on low. But when I did that graphics looked weird with strange colors, lines and squares all over. As soon as I switched back to...

The uk site of D2D says release date is 21st. I don't know if download versions are released this date globally or it is false info on their site

Thanks for the overview :) And wierd that D2D has so different prices - 50 euro (63 dollars) or 30 pounds (46 dollars) for the same version. Well, I guess I'll preorder from the british site instead of the european, as a lot of european countries is accepted on the british site. Strange...

Hmm I don't think CYRI is very accurate. It says my old laptops ATI Mobility 3400 series graphic card has 1,5 GB RAM (which definately is not true), and that it should be able to run the game, which I doubt. The ATI Mobility 3400 series get just above 100 points, while the minimum graphic...

I asked a supporter from 2K Games, and he says they are working to get the demo out "on or around the 14th of september". I'm not sure how well-informed he is or if it is just rumours...

Anyone knows if there will be a booklet, tech map etc. included in the DVD regular edition? If it's only comes with a DVD and nothing else, I might as well buy a download edition and then get the game 3 days before...

Thanks for all the info above. However, much of it is for desktops, and I'm about to buy a laptop. So 2 questions: What laptop CPU will be best for Civ V: i5 2,4 GHz (dual) or i7 1,6 GHz (quad)? And will a ATI Mobility 5650 graphic card be able to run the game ok (not necessarily on high...
