Here's a carrier way inland. You're doing it all wrong, Germany.

Sorry if there's already a thread for these things. I can assure you it is quite operational. It can fire through land. It sank one of my battleships.

Start by having them attack things that can't hit back like workers. Get unit attacking 1 and 2. Then get range. This gets you out of city and cannon range. Next, unit attacking 3. Finally, double firing. Double firing allows you to move in, fire and get out of range of even...

If their defensive rating is under 30, you should be chopping them to pieces. Around 35 or so, it's time to wait for trebs and longswords. At least have one unit with cover. You'll also need a med unit. Move your cover unit in to absorb the first hit. It would be better if that unit somehow...

Put your armies in the field and kill/capture anything that comes from the ai. If they are stronger, take your new worker and retreat to your capital and wait for their armies to come. The ai usually won't settle cites while at war until they are desperate. And then, they'll send them out...

I have never won a diplo, cultural or science victory. All I have ever done is domination. I play on level 7 diff these days. I don't know if it can be done as easily with this new patch since poor warmongers like myself are penalized by no longer having a courthouse give + 6 :) insteand it's...

I had three games in a row where Hiawatha was my final competition. It was the same scenario. Their army will wipe us off the map and etc. Try to get a right of passage agreement to scout where their troops are. If they are busy elsewhere, go in guns blazing. Take a couple of their...

I was having the same problem someone suggested I do this and it worked for me. 1. Open up your config.ini (My Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V/) 2. Look for the following line: EnableGameCoreThreading = 1 3. Change it to: EnableGameCoreThreading = 0

I was looking for some way to rep you for this. It worked. Thank you. :thumbsup:

It isn't working at all for me. I had the same problem with the happiness in the toilet for my loaded game and my units wouldn't move. Okay, so it's a broken game. I guess I'll start over. I wasn't that happy with it anyway. I started a new game to find that my units won't take orders...

Yeah, I was trying to utilize Germany's (also using them for the first time) power in barb hunting. Awesome, thanks. I usually try to rush Notre Dame from HS, but I'll try it that way.

Thanks. I'm going back in time to move some of my cities. Their placement wasn't optimal and I'm going with liberty/tradition instead of honor and piety to leave rationalism open later.

I have been started off with basically my own continent all to myself followed by a small sea and then three other civs with another continent further away containing the rest. I keep falling behind in science and happiness. I can't get to wonders quickly enough like I could on the other...

So go back and do honor instead of liberty. I guess I overlooked the defensive buildings giving happiness. I was thinking I would have to paralyze my army by using them as garrisons. Good tip. I have always done that at first anyway. I just used the opportunity to grab iron and happiness...

Thanks will do.
