    Why does the AI do this?

    Ok, I'm playing as Carthage. I build three cities, they grow to be massive and I have the biggest population in the game on this small continent populated by myself and the Aztecs (I declared war after I caught him spying three times and took two cities). Rome, on a distant continent, rings...

    How do nations define other people as "warmongering?"

    In my current game as Bismarck, Dido and I had a war. She declared war on me and tried for one of my cities, but my Landsknechts crushed her forest elephants and she was quick to surrender once I moved my troops towards her capital. She apparently didn't hold a grudge and we made a DoF, did some...

    What is Dido doing?

    For the past 25 turns Dido has had an army of about 15 troops (trebuchets, muskets and longswords) sitting on my border, walking back and forth between the nearest tiles. We have a Declaration of Friendship. Is she waiting for it to end so that she can declare war or what? If so, why is she...

    Trenches, where are they?

    The Roman Legion can make roads but Great War Infantry can't build trenches? Trenches - they are built just like roads, except melee units standing on these tiles take -50% damage from ranged attacks. They cannot be built on tiles adjacent to cities. This would make for some unique combat...

    Domination Happiness

    If you're going for a large empire, the Commerce tree is always a good choice with its beneficial trade route bonuses for gold and the +2 happiness for every luxury resource. That +2 happiness can be REALLY useful (it has saved me from rebel barbarians many times!),

    Am I being used ?

    I had a situation where I tell a civ I need 10 turns to prepare for war against X and then the civ I tell that too declares war on me. After I made peace with the civ, for the rest of the game he was like "I can't wait until we go to war against X..."

    Other Civ has super advanced unit

    Legends speak of great metal monsters that once roamed the planet we now reside, and to preserve their species, they hid their schematics in great fortresses now scattered across the world as ruins...

    Help with map types please.

    All of the randomly generated maps (Including Earth) have wrapped borders, all of the presets (like Mesopotamia) have hard borders.

    After Prince, Before King...

    Suck it up and move up a level. I used to only play on Prince because I got my ass kicked before the first year AD on King. Now, I play on King and it is too easy. Just keep playing at King, see what nation works best for you, try different military strategies and policies with other nations.

    "I don't know what you're talking about"

    I was successful with a demand once, it was the Aztec Empire who had the status "Afraid" (no idea why, I was over 50 tiles away from him) so I decided to leap forward and demand 100 gold from Monte. I got the gold and some 15 turns later he declared war on me.

    What can I do to make Isabella love me?

    I found the Fountain of Youth and used my last chunk of gold to buy a Settler and establish a city near it. I named the city "Isabella" and presented it to her. She took it without a thanks. Love is a cold, broken hallelujah. :(

    Rivers to Oceans

    This has bugged me since the first day I played Civ 5. My city is built on a river, this river leads to an ocean. Why can't I produce ships in the city, have them travel along the river, and get to the ocean? I really think this should be implemented because it is a realistic and balancing...

    What can I do to make Isabella love me?

    I have tried to express my love for Isabella since the first day I laid eyes on her in 3600 B.C. 3,000 years later, she won't even look at me. I have given her gold, proposed declarations of friendship, given her the finest silks and gems from my empire. How can I show her my love? How can I...

    Paying barbarians/pirates/mercenaries to attack another AI/player

    I like the idea of more diplomatic options, and this seems like one that would fit in well. Perhaps through espionage, spies can uncover who is paying off barbarians to attack themselves or another player. Furthermore, barbarians can enter enemy territory without necessity of an Open Borders...

    Can't I tell nations to move their troops?

    The AI makes it extremely obvious when they plan to go to war with you, just sending a huge army directly to your border. In my current game, I am England fighting against Germany. Germany sends his ridiculously-sized assault force consisting of six trebuchets with an entourage of 7 pikemen...
