I really thought it was a horrible war-or-nothing game when it was released. Whilst there are still niggles with it, it's much improved and the expansions have each added some much needed complexity. It's not all about war and psychotic AI behaviour anymore, in fact some of the AI's are quite...

Had no idea about Kilimanjaro's bonus effect. I'd been scratching my head about this issue in my last game, wondering why several of my units suddenly had the promotion.

Love this mod DonQuiche, and thanks for adding it to Steam for those technophobes amongst us, makes using mods much easier.

I'd agree with this OP. In my most recent game it was particularly annoying. The CS that requested a road could only be accessed by a one tile choke point. And naturally they parked a unit on it - all game.....grr!

No problems here. Easiest way to check is take note of your total culture before you launch an attack you know will finish an enemy, and then see what the score is after he dies. In my game it adds it as soon as the killing attack is launched, so it's already added to the total by the time the...

Mine upgrades for free - with the Pentagon and the Honour path reduction. Which as you say, does seem a little on the cheap side.

Glad you put a thread on here as I don't have a You Tube account. Any chance you could for any future LP of Civ 5? I think you might have forgotten to protect Warsaw in your video number 17 unless I missed you clicking it when you gifted them money.

I can confirm Inquisitors worked in a recent game for me. Dido was trying to convert my people and we spent several turns trying to outmaneuver each other, her with her Great Prophet and me with Inquisitor moving from city to city as she approached. She gave up pretty quickly fortunately as...

I normally play peaceful games where possible, aiming for Science, Diplomacy or Culture wins, and only conduct warfare when declared on. However, after three bad nuclear experiences in previous games with him, I turn into a genocidal maniac the instant I spot Gandhi in any of my games. If I...

Open Steam, go to Library, right click on Civ 5, select Properties, then Local Files, then Verify Integrity of Cache.

You have to have enough faith to purchase them - you can either do it directly from your city screen in the same way you'd purchase something with gold, or you can go into the Religious Overview menu and set it up so they're automatically purchased whenever you have enough faith points.

I have a spy based in a city state rigging elections. I get the message that he failed as Ethiopia successfully rigged them instead. However Ethiopia have already been wiped out. Pretty sure that can't be intended.

I think it must be related to this bug: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?p=11604900#post11604900

Just checked, and yes, unfortunately we do get the extra diplomacy penalty for breaking a promise.

Glad it's not just me then. What I'm wondering is do I get an extra diplomacy hit - I get one for telling them to get lost in the first place, but I'm presuming I also get one for "betraying my word" even when I didn't. As it happens in every game I'm struggling to see how this made it through...
