My past few experiences with King have had the AI win right around turns 380-390. Both of those wins were science victories for the AI, the first time beating me to a cultural victory by a considerable margin and the second one beating me to a science victory by 5 turns.... Agh the agony of...

Ever since Civ 4 I have had a grudge against Napoleon. This grudge was reinforced the other day when while playing Civ 5 he launched a surprise attack on me not 50 turns into the game. I beat him back, he offers a peace treaty, blah blah blah. Not 5 turns after the peace treaty expires he...

So as it happens, I started another game using the Celts and went for a quick religion; got a religion a good 20 turns before anyone else and now the entire continent has my religion. I also happened to create a great engineer right as the tech for the Notre Dame finished so I rushed the Notre...

OK so I've been playing Civ for a while, just started to try and get better at this game and upped the difficulty to King. However, I find that it is difficult to keep happiness in the positive and also keep my gold coming in instead of bleeding gold. I know that a great way to boost happiness...

I usually go for 4 or 5 cities. I had 4 in one game as the Arab guy, then I had to beat back a city state because he was allied with Alexander who stabbed me in the back. So I capped the city state, capped one of Alex's cities and burned it down, and I was at 5. And I barely eeked out a cultural...

Yah same here lemme know. I'm in game 1151 and the communication of my civ sucks. I'm also in game 1451 and the communication of my civ is better but it's still not optimal. I am so down to get in a game with people who care.

Meh, guess who won the NL West the past 2 years? :goodjob: Back on topic, I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees it this way. Maybe I'll try a quick game next time.

Just what the title says. I used to be able to play a game of Civ 4 on normal speed in 2-3 days, usually taking between 10-15 hours per game. Now with Civ 5, I've been playing the same game on normal speed since Wednesday when I bought the game and I'm only on turn 300. According to Steam, I've...

I have an i7 myself on my computer, and as I get later into that game, the wait between turns takes anywhere from 15-30 seconds. I don't know if that's high or low compared to other people, but it doesn't annoy me too much.

I don't know if slower in the terms of this thread is what I mean, but I think a game of Civ 5 just takes longer than a game of Civ 4 used to. In Civ 4, I used to be able to play a full game, normal speed in 2-3 days. I've had this game for 4 days now, and I haven't even reached 300 turns in my...

Intel i7 740M @ 1.73 Ghz 4GB Ram NVidia GeForce GT 330M 1GB 1366x768 Display Run all details on medium, a few on high and it runs smooth as dryer lint. ;) BTW, this is a laptop.

Bro this was my favorite thread yesterday and convinced me to spend 50 of the 90 bucks I have to go and buy Civ 5.(I'm a poor college kid, whaddya gonna do?) I was planning on waiting until Christmas time to buy Civ 5, but that changed after I read this thread... If my grades drop, I'm comin'...

I think he was referring to something else...

I think I might take the release weekend off, but I can't afford to ditch any school to play. Might happen unintentionally though, seeing as how it's very easy to stay up WAY too late while playing CiV lol.

Firstly, I'm sorry if this is mentioned somewhere on here, I did a search and not much came up and I don't want to read through a 33 page thread. ;) Now that that's out of the way, I would like to ask a simple question: What is everybody's problem with Steam? I am primarily a console gamer...
