Maybe you can only liberate the capital? Or perhaps you can't liberate a city belonging (originally) to a civ you killed. I had something similar on the YNAEMP Earth TSL map as Assyria. Arabia had given (!?) Damascus to Rome before I captured Mecca and Medina, eliminating them. Later on I...

I live near Amsterdam so I reckon I need to look at London, in which Globe Theatre narrowly beats Big Ben.

A) I have yet to play a BNW game long enough to get there at all lol. Probably would change the first time I do. Otherwise I'd stick with what I choose probably. B) Same situation as you but on YnAEMP huge Earth as Polynesia. Fishing boat production basically was my production apart from a...

This is my current TSL Earth setup with the Y(N)AEMP mod. A few notes beforehand: -No barbs (to help civs spread, mostly Maya) -No ancient ruins (to balance the lack of barbs) -don't scale resources (with this turned off I got a 9 crab location in the pacific ocean as Polynesia) -abundant...

For Civ 5 specifically enough has been said, assuming they cover skillful playthroughs as well as entertaining ones. I used to watch TheMeInTeam's vids for Civ 4. For strategy games in general I can highly recommend Quill18. Mostly because he's great to listen to, very insightful although not a...

Appreciate the post. :) Not sure if I'll try a culture anytime soon though, I'm not one to focus on a victory condition early on. I'd rather just build an empire and go for victory when I see an opening of when it gets boring.

And max culture range is 5.

Yesterday I was forced to shift-enter when my puppet cities that were still in disorder (Monty handed me 4 cities after we both had taken a city from each other and I was attacking a 2nd city), and which had to have production assigned, which I can't do of course.

As far as I've seen it's almost entirely related to the population of the city that is connected. I'll take another look when I play again though.

Have to check on that memory leak issue. I'm in my 1st game now, Gandhi 1930 AD (fair way behind Hiawatha who took over his continent), so I might close and restart and see the difference in memory usage. Currently using 919MB. If I alt-tab from the game and back in, it first loads all textures...

P4 3.0 ghz 2.5G ram Ati Radeon Sapphire 3850HD 512mb. Demo on max settings runs sluggish but not in a way that it annoys me. Intro runs smooth. Time between turns was ok but I bet the turns will take very long late in the game. :) I'm going to check the store for ciV this afternoon, I just...

You could select 'always peace' in the custom game setup, but obviously the AI can still dislike you and refuse trade and such. But you don't have to worry about wars. You can't declare either though. What parts of diplomacy don't you like?

Funny how your citizens aren't fearing for their safety if you have 1 warrior on a city in the age of tanks. :run:

Creative for quick border pops and faster library and Financial. Coastal tiles give extra commerce, prioritize riverside cottages, maybe riverside fur or if you beeline calendar you get extra commerce on spices and silk I think. Also wine with Monarchy (easy to get with the Oracle as well -...

Seeing the second screenshot, I would give it a shot to settle 2NW on the corner of the river so you get the golds, stone and pig in your BFC, then the 2nd city on the plains hill where the warrior is standing. Or the other way around perhaps, depends if you want to use bureaucracy or not. If...
