Wow. ****ing amazing.

Anyone know why my opponents atomic bomb didn't die when I dropped an atomic bomb on his city? Replay here: Forward to 31:30 My understanding was that nuke splash kills nukes. And, when I go and test it single player, atomic bombs (direct hits or splash) kill atomic bombs in cities, with...

Anyone know why my opponents atomic bomb didn't die when I dropped an atomic bomb on his city? Replay here: Forward to 31:30 My understanding was that nukes killed nukes. And, when I go and test it single player, atomic bombs kill atomic bombs in cities, with or without bomb shelters.

He's not a very PC guy ;p

Anyone have any idea about how many tiles or how long?

Can you explain that more? I see players take 2 workers from 2 different CS and not take a permanent reduction in standing and I want to know how.

Hey Guys, I've seen players do it (via stream) where they have take 2 workers, had 2 war decs and not lose permanent resting influence with any CS! How are they doing it? What's the key component? Time? How many turns in between? Location? How far away from the CS? Same CS or...

There's a missing component somewhere, because those factors don't quite explain what happened. My city was growing for a Deer in the second ring. There were 2 hills, both in my second ring. They were 75g each. The city either grew to the deer, or was one turn away from that, and then the...

So I just started a game. I settled my city (which instantly takes all of the first ring), and there's a hill 1 tile outside of my first ring. Initially the tile was 75g. Within a few turns (possibly after I finished a monument, if it matters) the tile dropped to 55g. Why did the tile change...

I'm arriving a little late to the party, but that isn't entirely correct. Intelligence accounts for a statistically significant portion of the variance in chess performance after controlling for experience. Here are some citations...

I've heard host, I've heard ping to server (is civ 5 even server based?), I've heard who clicks first but I'd like to actually know what determines this. Anyone know?

Did that, didn't help catch tech leaders =/

I recently had a NQ 6FFA (12CS) game where my Mongolia killed his neighbor Carthage and then immediately attacked me. I fought him off, killed him and took his lands and cities. After the dust settled, I was left with my capital, 2 of my expands, 2 enemy capitals and 2 enemy non-capital cities...

Faith production is linear; so more cities mean more faith. Egypt's UB means they are the civ least limited by happiness in maxing out on cities and you can afford to have tons of temples (since no upkeep). Piety 1) boosts your shrines and temples, 2) builds them for less and 3) lets you...

I hadn't though of the oracle (not that I'd have been able to get it), but that's a good idea. I'm surprised your opponents didn't see it coming, everyone gets an announcement when someone adds a reformation belief.
