well you simply forgot to mention every single ship since ironclad should require iron... it even is mention in the name of the darned ship... or am i wrong here. does the ironclad require iron or coal? it should imo require both, as well as destroyer, battle ship, submarine and carrier should...

pick egypt (+2 happiness from temple), liberty and piety, pick for your religion: +1 happiness for city with size 6 +2 happiness for temple +1 happiness for shrine (could also pick +2 culture on temple) with +1 happiness per trade route it adds to +7 happiness on a city with size 6 so with...

civilization has always been a game that takes long. your post actually makes no sense. that it takes long is not the problem with this game, it actually IS ITS MAIN ASPECT. it is like saying a story told in a book of 7 volumes and extending over several ages is too long and should be told in...

well... i didnt mention the battle of thermopylae. i alluded to the persians who represent a huge empire with an army that relies on large masses of combattants and the greeks who were a scattered and divided people living in very subdivided terrain of lsles and mountain ranges. i only wanted...

yeah sorry i guess you misunderstood me a bit. i think production is the most important reasource in this kind of games, but putting cities on production focus is a completely different thing. if i mean that you should look for maximizing your production, i meant to look at ways of getting...

yeah you are right, civ 5 has improved dramatically! thats why i love it now the way it is. i should have included "now" in my post. and i said "improve beyond necessity". tweaking calculations and balancing, working with the happiness system and strategy variety is absolutely okay and all the...

yeah you can try it out next time. but another point here is, that civilization is full small little tricks and details that you learn with experience. it is the taking advantage of many little things that amount to a big difference and makes you win over the ai and probably human players. not...

i suppose it is a conciously made choice of the developers to offend left handed people. they want to say: "you left handers better build that road and that mine over there because you serve nothing else, just the dirty work." while the right handers are all sitting in warm specialist place in a...

im so sad about this discussion because i feel like i am the only one who thinks, that it is just awesome the way it is. right now, in my new flat i dont have internet yet and so i had to come back to civ 4, and... god it annoys me. the combat system is sooooo tedious. if you are behind, it is...

i played most of my games on king difficulty but now im comfortable on emperor. i played a lot of different civs mostly with the focus on abusing their respective specialties to the maximum. for example: with aztecs i tried to make as much growth as possible with every policy, belief etc. that...

has none of you ever tried a commerce focused, massively expanding empire? on emperor i win easily on a map with multiple land masses and i build a navy-focused empire as carthage. i aim for as much happiness-boost per newly found city as possible, so that i can expand as much as i wish. i...

thats why a tank in civ has always been a unit, not single vehicle. you are supposed to believe you are having 5 divisions of tanks in your army which would actually make you a power to cope with.

interestingly, this pretty much resembles the true history of austria. it became a large empire in the 19th century but actually today it is known as a small country with a high culture and a high technological standard.

normally you should be able to browse them as a DLC in the steam-store, then buy and download them. from time to time they are on discount. i would recommend to wait for that and buy all DLC's at once.

well one thing that occured to me reading the posts. especially when someone mentioned a game like starcraft. playing against the AI pretty quickly became a "noob thing" in starcraft. when we became more powerful in the game it was just a "just for fun" thing to play against 7 ai's and still...
