Interesting. Retire button is greyed out, i can't imagine how that would have happened. Well, that solves that then, I guess on to another game!

Hey guys. I have been using EUI for many many years, and I just built a new rig, dismantled the old one, and reinstalled all my games and mods and everything. I see EUI has undergone quite a many changes since whatever version I installed way back in the day, and a lot of things have moved...

Long time no post. I'm trying to make Acken's Minimalistic Mod work by itself in Multiplayer. I have removed the DLL from the folder, created the mpmodspack, and then dropped the DLL back in. It "appears" to function, but work boats are 30hammers/130g, not 10 hammers/50g like they are if I...

New movement rules are some of the dumbest things I've ever seen. You can't spend 3000 hours in Civ 5 and not be annoyed by the arbitrary changes to that stuff.

No, I understand completely what you came here for. You came here because the game is beating you down because you're not good at it, and then you started making excuses about some patch that never happened, and then you need to toss in irrelevant information about other games and how long...

I think the problem here is that you vastly overestimate your knowledge and abilities, while downplaying the knowledge and abilities of others. Screenshots ARE taken by default and put into .jpeg format. You used something like winrar to turn them into compressed files and then upload them...

Aside from the fact that the game hasn't been patched in a long time, this is incorrect on many levels. Your problem is what you're doing, and not understanding game mechanics. If you're taking early cities, make it capitals, and do it before you have scouted much of the world. There's no...

Turn off sound, and set playback speed to half.

Pocatello AI - Why does he start with more unit strength? On Deity, AI's start with 2 settlers, 2 workers, 3 warriors and a Scout. Pocatello starts with 2 settlers, 2 workers, 2 warriors and 3 Pathfinders. This scales down to Emperor as well, where I saw he started with extra stuff as...

Whew. Well, uhh, yeah. Okay, first of all, you only founded one city. That's not even close to ideal. You can't get the same results by capturing other people's expansions. Second of all, population - you need way more. Prioritize food. Everything else is secondary to those problems...

Everyone that complains about liberty unhappiness generally complains about it at the same time. "I was at the late industrial/early modern..." Yeah, that's not liberty, that's ideology pressure. You use your own ideology to prevent that. Essentially early game you only grow as fast as...

Yes, that'd be a pretty big bug.

I dunno about that, Kremlin's added production really helps you catch up/spam units quite nicely. If you just want to get your score up, finishing your current tech's building's in 2 turns and then making more dudes seems like a good way to stop being DoW'd :) I honestly like it the way it is.

Why do you keep saying this like this is a thing? You don't get culture from meeting a cultural CS.

It's just something we've become accustomed to in Acken's mod - you really never have enough units, and you'll lose 1-2 every turn during a seige on a warmonger, and there's just not much you can do about it. You can't move and fortify a meatshield on the same turn, so it invariably ends up...
