Thanks for the information. My problem is that they "have a good platform." They should not have sold me a 50 dollar "platform." I am paying to play a game. I do not publish shotty work and then revise. I revise and then published. Last Civ game I buy

Played a ICS yesterday: Prince, Pangea, China. Very powerful strategy. My commerce, science, and happiness were highest that I have ever had them, but my production may have been the lowest. I bought a lot of stuff! As well, did not have any difficulty allying with the marintine CS. Do...

Do not retreat. You are probably playing this all wrong. Lure her rifleman into your trebucets and crossbows line of fire and kill it. Use your pikeman to kill her knight. You seem to be way overclassed. You need more cities and more units, unless you are trying to get a cultural victory...

I have never tried this strategy. Looks interesting. I have always tried for ~9 cities and 5 puppets. So, basically you plaster everything with trading posts, buy all your food from maritime city states. Your cities build temples, collusiums, and circuses. Build workers as needed, and...

Next time take the culture CS and friend the marine CS. You will benefit better, usually, from the extra food. Regarding isolation... it does make for a slow game. You will find you are either ages ahead or ages behind. Next time up the number of opponents.

Thanks The_J. Very frustrating, but I know I am not alone. I regret buying this game. I know not to buy another 2K game in the future until at least 3 patches have been released. I will keep my hard earned money and spend it on beer.

Okay, I am not a computer guy. I have absolutely no skills. I wanted to buy a game, insert the CD and play. Unfortunately I cannot; the game consistently crashes. I have tried e-mailing 2K support and have gotten no help. I really could use some help. Here is my situation. I am running...

ZombieBiskit: Perhaps you are right. I have only played 2 games on easy settings. However, my feelings from the game are you cannot defeat yourself, where in Civ 4 it seemed that if you were incompetent you could easily defeat yourself. I do remember complaining about Civ 4 when it came out...

I completely agree. To me, the game seems to be focused too much on graphics and not enough on strategy. The greatest move from Civ3 to Civ4 was removing upkeep costs for buildings. I really enjoyed that, and am not certain why they brought it back for Civ5. Now I hardly ever build a...

I could really use some help. I need a new video card. I can barely run the game. The problem is I have a HP slimline desktop. I have a built in GeForce 6150SE, but I do have an open slot on the motherboard for an additional video card. The problem is that HP said the power supply limit was...

Recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 on it. Was playing Civ 4 BTS on older computer running Windows XP. Well, I would like to play Civ 4 BTS on my new computer, but I have misplaced my original Civ 4 disc. I have all of the files from my old computer, but not sure if I can transfer...

Yeah, I think I will have to make smaller wars. I went in with 6-8 swords, 3 bows, 1-2 spears, 5 axes and 5 cats. Found that hugely defended city (not even its capital) and realized that there are way way more units on normal pace.

I have not opened your save file, but have a question. Did you build the UN? I don't see a conquest victory coming unless you ban nukes. Even still, that is a huge map to conquest wiht not much time. As far as conquest, you could try to get it via vassels. However, N & S America is much...

I am an excellent Noble player and can win almost any game on that setting. The problem I have is I play on Epic speed. My brother plays on Normal speed. Whenever I play on Normal, I get crushed. My axe rush is not effective, nor any warring strategy I previously had success with in Epic...

I only play on Noble, but I do win every game (I could move up but I don't want to lose, especially went I only get 1-2 games in a month and I play recreationally). I NEVER go for any early wonder (except maybe Oracle, but usually I ignore that too). I build a lot of workers (maybe too many)...
