Running on version 1.0.0.167 (I think). Currently running the game with two dlcs as well: Greek pack and Poland. Edit: Forgot to add my warrior is currently next to Torres del Paine

Thank god i'm not the only one who feels this way. Trade literally sinks 1/3-1/4 of my time in my games which is ridiculous.

I was wondering if there's an easier way set up trade routes aside from the continuous clicking its just really annoying to manage when you have 10+ cities and a minimum of 20 and max of 30 different trade routes going on. Can trade routes be established through the trade route overview?

Spoken like a true communist... this made me laugh even though it sounds so wrong. I do hate how they aren't happy with my selection of ideology... so maybe I should just give them sweet dreams with a lil gas.

After playing civ on the latest fall patch, I've been pretty satisfied from the changes made especially the increased yields from trade routes and changes to Germany UU in favor of a UB. However, I feel as though 2K missed out on alot of opportunities to expand or improve certain elements of...

My problem with warmongering is the science. I'm playing emperor and I managed to build GL and transition into an early NC <75ish turn. I continue to roll over civs as the Zulus leveraging my impis all the way to industrial. I'm able to manage a decent tech lead till early renaissance but...

I'm not sure if this a good comparison since normally you judge civs as a whole (UA, UU, UI, UB). Its kind of like apples to oranges. But if I were to vote Arabian Bazaars hands down and if you were to make the comparison between Indonesia and Arabia as a whole I'd still pick Arabia hands...

My trouble with wide strategies is the gold and science chokes I'm getting. I'm not quite sure how to overcome them and its kind of frustrating since wide approaches don't seem to work well with changes to the gold system and science increase on a per city basis. Even though early warfare is...

It will always depend on the nature of the game but growth is probably the best choice of trade route but least flexible since its capped out by happiness. I've always wondered is it better to have coastal capital and cities to go tall (at the expense of workable improved tiles vs sea/coastal...

The problem with Sweden is how skittish city-states are. Gifting a GP for 1200 gold worth of influence that can be turned around by a spy is not worthwhile. Spies are the biggest reason that makes Sweden's UA as weak as it is.

I've never though of this since I've never played sandstorm but this is a great suggestion. This would probably make games a breeze since no one benefits from deserts quite like Morocco. The UU's will be skittering along the desert as fast as Elizabeth's frigates a very scare prospect indeed.

All and all I think vanilla civs are the strongest cause they pretty much cater to the core game mechanics. So in general my scores for G&K are probably going to be low. (5) Austria - UA is pretty nice I do admit but opportunities to use it won't come till late game due to gold and happiness...

Wow, I feel ridiculously young reading some of these stories. Well, my love of civ started when I was really young, my brother introduced me to the series when he brought back civ 2 and installed it onto our pc and I would play that thing till it blue screened. Man I really miss that throne...

What about gifting for diplo modifier?

All that land grabbing and you'd think they'd be angry. Whenever these guys are my neighbors, their city-spam makes me wanna scalp Pocatello!! But I do love that Great Expanse UA when I play them and pathfinders are probably my favorite UU in BNW behind maybe Kris Swordsman (c'mon the blitz + 1...
