    Why do certain Wonders not show up near my city?

    Sometimes when I build a wonder, a graphic of the wonder appears near my city. Other times, it doesn't. And sometimes, when I build another wonder, it replaces the graphic of the one that was there originally. Am I the only one having this issue?

    Civilization Ratings! Part Four: Brave New World Civs

    6 - Assyria Assyria has the siege towers, which make early wars a cake walk. You can pretty much steam roll over any neighboring Civ with these guys. And then you get the science bonus, which is great. But once you get out of the early game and into later eras, Assyria's weaknesses begin to...

    Anyone tried Moracco?

    Desert start + food plains + oasis + desert folklore + Petra + kasbahs = powerhouse.

    So what kind of troll created the AI, exactly?

    Or, they'll have an excellent and fertile river land right next to their capital, and proceed not to settle it at ALL. And then they get mad at me for settling that land myself. Well maybe you should have SETTLED IT FIRST since it's only 6 tiles away from your goddamn capital.

    Which civs always snowball in your game, and which fizzle out?

    I'd say these civs always have a potential to get big in my games - The Shoshone - Egypt - The Iroquois - Russia - Persia - Morocco - Zulus - France (pre BNW) - Mongolia - Austria - Incas - Greece - Poland - Rome Civs that never seem to get past 3 or 4 cities half the time...

    Civ 5 Beauty Contest: The men this time!

    Probably Alex because he's young and in pretty good shape. He was only in his early twenties when he started his empire. So, in order, I would say 1. Alex 2. Shaka 3. Kamehameha 4. Ashurbanipal 5. Hiawatha

    Most Disliked Civ to Play

    America - Boring and not really unique. Nothing really seems to stand out about them.

    Favorite BNW Music

    Poland's peace theme sounds so triumphant. It reminds me of the soundtrack for a 90s movie. I love it.

    Favorite Civs?

    Morocco. Kasbah + Desert Folklore + Petra = Powerhouse. In my current game, I'm raking in almost 950 GPT, 834 Culture PT, 300 Faith PT and a tourism rating of 600. The next biggest civ, the Iroquois, is not even close.
