    Coastal ICS

    I find that it's also very helpful if you can generate a few great scientists to rush the last few techs to industrial.

    Walking Gait

    No. I haven't started walking 3km out of my way to go around people in the street either. :mischief:

    'Raging' Barbarians?

    Another late-game camp I found. I wonder how high-tech they can actually get. Although they'd probably just sit at home polishing the GDR's paintwork anyway...

    Can't the AI even beat you with spaceships?

    I've seen Egypt get a technological victory in a Deity/Huge/Archipelago game.

    No, a unit does NOT need orders

    Yes, although it's usually only a few seconds delay.

    How does score work?

    I've yet to win a time victory, but I do have a time defeat listed in my Hall of Fame. I think my highest score is still from the Tutorial game (which was actually quite long because I was messing around).

    The smartest thing the AI did to you

    Large/Earth/Immortal, Siam declaring war on me a few turns after pulling out of our war against Greece. Although I did think their preceding comments about me being a warmonger were a bit much, considering they invited me to join the Greek war in the first place...

    Cannot launch game with directx 11

    Have you tried launching it by double-clicking the actual exe file? Also, check the game folder and in Event Viewer for any crash logs. My Steam install is on drive E and I haven't had any issues with it.

    Steam Error message? "The game is currently unavailabe"

    Try this.

    'Raging' Barbarians?

    How is barb tech level determined anyway? I'm pretty sure I've seen barb destroyers late game on island maps sometimes (maybe riflemen too).

    Finally finished my first game -- That was underwhelming

    A little, but not amazingly so as an average - according to Wiki the US is 30 and Russia is 8 (I imagine the USSR was probably lower).

    Why is the AI so bad at Island games?

    I've been conquered by the AI on a huge Archipelago map - it was on Deity though, and it took a long time for them to grind me down (especially considering the relative numbers of units & tech levels). On a similar map in another game the AIs seemed to take turns picking on one other AI (they...

    Poll on time between turns.

    Late-game on huge maps (especially on higher difficulties), it's a few minutes - my PC is somewhat low spec though (Q6600, GTX 285). I've even had slow-down in early turns on tiny Deity maps, not sure what's causing that (presumably not workers since there are so few at that point!).

    Can you recomend me some game like CIV?

    Another vote for GalCiv2 here - it's pretty old now, but it's aged well :). Imperium Galactica 2 is worth a look as well, although the 'one enormous fleet' AI can limit the replayability.

    Should workers be able to build marshes or otherwise change terrain?

    Not necessarily marshes, but certainly forests (even if it takes a while).
