    Post-patch combat AI: tactical level shocking, strategic level reasonable

    I've noticed a big difference since the patch. I had Ghandi declare war on me and just stream roll over one of my cities in 2 turns... I really wasn't expecting a battle and most of my military units were drawn away on other business. I mustered up some counter attacks, and Ghandi was...

    Starting to feel a lot of sympathy for Civ5 devs

    I wasn't replying to the OP... I was replying the post I quoted, and replying to the comment that was made that suggested computer games in the past were more bug-free than modern games, which I couldn't help but comment on that one particular statement. PC games have always been a wide and...

    Rampaging City State! (or... conquering without declaring war)

    Thanks for the welcome! I only said that in jesting because I've seen many comments regarding that *many* (though certainly not all) of some of the most negative comments came from people with "low post counts". I personally think that there are people both new and old that both love and hate...

    Rampaging City State! (or... conquering without declaring war)

    So, in this particular game I was kind of goofing off and I was going for a space race victory on the 3rd difficulty level I believe. Obviously I need to go higher. ;) Anyway, I was very much in with the City States this game. I was allied with at least half of them, four of which I...
