Jedi Atheism

Let me start by saying that I don't want this thread to be yet another 'Civ5 sux because...', or 'Civ5 rules because....'. There are a thousand other threads covering that, and this shouldn't be one more of them. So, I'm a civver since Civ1. Played them all, loved them all. I just love the...

Ah... seems to be fixed in 6.6

Me too. Every time a unit embarks or disembarks.

Yes, Moscow and Helsinki ended up at war at some point, and it didn't work out so well for the Russians. I remember watching it with some amusement and thinking the Russians might be in for some trouble. Helsinki had a lot of archers. Not the first time I've seen a city state take another city...

Hi, Love the mod, but have found an annoying issue. I've been playing as Oda Nobunaga and trying to maintain a war with Wu Zetian, and every turn Peace is automatically declared, kicking my units out and preventing me from achieving anything. I get no say in the matter, no diplomacy screen...

:lol: Oh dear...

Well, maybe not in a retail store, but this sort of thing happens in business to business agreements all the time. I work in a management consulting firm, and there have been many occasions where we have charged a client less than what they thought they would have to pay, because we charge them...

I agree. It makes perfect sense to me. You asked her what she'd give for cotton and she came up with a reasonable sounding offer. You weren't really interested in the horses, etc, so you put the offer in terms of gold only. She got the meaning of what you were trying to do and so made you...

Not really, and in fact the Civ 4 AI used to show the same behaviour, particularly if they didn't like your religion or something. I look at is if the AI is saying something along the lines of: "we'd rather be eaten alive by rabid monkeys and die with honour, than to ever give you one single...

I think we just played the same game! Haiwatha had a huge runaway lead. Built every part of the spaceship except one, and then seemed to change his mind and start heading for a cultural victory. He had 4 streams complete but then seemed to stall, probably due to too many cities. Does seem a bit...

Well, first post for Civ 5, so after a glass or two of fine wine I thought I'd make it interesting. :king: Actually, I don't feel they are that much of a disadvantage so far. Egypt was on a long arching island, with 4 cities. I sent my troops after Memphis in my first big assault on a...

I just tried method 1 with BAT 2.0 Seems to be working!

BUG and BAT would be nice. I never play HOF or any of the other game variants that go on through civfanatics, simply because they don't allow BUG & BAT. IMHO, CIV4 is at it's best with the official & unofficial patches, + Blue Marble + BUG + BAT. No other way I want to play it really. It...

Well, I guess that spells the end of this thread. Not that I'm complaining. Thanks Alerum. Just one bug though, your installer creates a directory called BAT Mod 1.0, which doesn't work. I renamed it to BAT Mod 1.1 and it's all good.
