Thank you for to all who have taken part in building and maintaining this mod. This mod has kept me playing and enjoying civ 5. Keep up the great work!

I'm getting CTD errors, using the beta patch 3-23-2016. I can't seem to upload my log files, so i pasted them here. Database.log Lua.log xml.log

As someone who plays BERT weekly, and lurks the forums a lot, I would love to see an Apollo series.

I'm just speaking from my experience with the game. I've played several games where an AI landed where I was expecting to settle my second or third city. Or when I try for aquatic cities, just having an AI within 3 turns of ship movement away ends up in wars. I also get the message about AI...

Isolation means not having an AI civ that can march/ship an army to you easily. If you have aquatic cities, any other civ with a navy will target you. If you have a land-locked empire, than isolation means not having an AI land next to you (which I have in several of my games). I think...

I actually think the opposite of this. Prosperity is best when isolated because the tree promotes quick expansion and conversion to cities. That is usually what pisses off your neighbors. So being isolated is good so you don't get rolled early game. Especially if you have water cities. If you...

Acken's guide is pretty much how I play CiV. Just some more tips to add to this: * I put each guild in different cities, so that they can still continue to grow. I usually end up sending food trade routes to these cities to help them grow a little. Don't put any guilds in the NC city, as you...

From your description of CiV strategy, it sounds like there isn't a lot of decisions to be made. You pretty much just described the one optimal path towards winning the game, which is placing your cities, getting NC up as fast as possible, continuing the science snowball, and making sure you get...

I need to explain what I mean when I say improvements from CiV. That may take awhile for me to do, and I don't really have the time. In short, when I think of improvements, I'm thinking about expanding policies into the Virtue trees. There is more flexibility with the virtue trees, and a lot...

I disagree with the general consensus on this forum that the game isn't balanced. I think the devs did a good job of opening up the game to different strategies other than academy spam, and that this adds balance to the game by giving you different ways to winning. The problem with the game now...

Just posting some of my findings of the game. I've played a lot of BERT, tried out several different strategies at the Apollo difficulty, and consistently get < 200 turn wins. I've found that you can make most of the improvements in the game work for a good win time. Farms are good, but...

From watching half of Acken's playthru, what I picked up (and what I am not doing in my games), is getting most of 1st tier prosperity, and his choices in Traits. That game had great conditions in it too, where he had Hutama in game for the extra trade routes, and got the pre-patched, OP 33%...

Thanks! I will check this out.

There may be some benefit to go deep in prosperity for the health benefits, so that you can get the % bonus to science for high positive health. This definitely sounds like a legit strat (I've tested it before with some success), but I'm not good enough to know if this is better than going...

I agree with that. Just wanted to add more to the discussion. I usually don't attack the aliens until I'm ready, meaning I have the farming virtues/traits and army ready to go. So you can take advantage of their passivity until you are ready.
