It's really stupid of the AI to hate on you every chance it gets. To ensure its own existence, it should definitely try to sweet talk the much stronger power (in many cases the human player). Instead they pour hate on you for things they happen to not like, whether it's a good idea for them to...

So you're pretty much the vassal of the AI civs. Give them vastly beneficial deals, choose the government they like and never declare war, settle near them or move troops near them. Anything and everything to keep them happy. That's no way to live for men. If I have to obey their every wish...

Military engineers: for building roads where your traders didn't. I did it for example at a point where I needed to move a lot of troops for an assault, but the road was only one lane wide, if you understand. Then I used it to create air strips close to the battlefield because the cities with...

Cythia needs a serious boost! Why, you say? Well, their colors are red text on brown background, and I can't make out half my city names without looking very very closely. Granted, I don't have the best color vision in the world, but red on brown is not ideal in any case.

Districts are a nice idea. The problem is that they're not an addition or a bonus in themselves, they're just a prerequisite to be allowed to build things that give you bonuses, and they take a very long time for just preparing to build the useful things. Instead of building a workshop, you MUST...

The game studio will have had a fixed date for release and had to ship it no matter what, conveniently in time for holiday sales. Because of the rush they now have a crazy amount of stuff to fix, which takes time. I bet this isn't the condition they wanted to release the game in, but this...

Started 1, finished 1 - domination win on Huge Marathon map on prince. It was really far too easy on Prince, but with a huge map I had to travel around a lot to catch all the capitals. But the thing that gets really tedius is all the denouncing and begging for peace or offering terrible (for me)...

Does anyone know how to mod this, if there's for example and easy way to do it in an XML file or something ...? I cannot tolerate the constant, deliberately slow to cancel pop-ups.

You need around 1/4 of the size of the computer controlled army to comfortably crush them. The CIV 5 AS (Artificial Stupidity) engine is highly advanced and capable of pulling off some very stupid moves indeed, so you don't need a huge army to fend them off, you just need to use your units wisely.

It should be renamed to Bribelomatic victory.

I can't handle his voice, it's so thick and unclear, like the sound of sawing through a log.

Bleh, that sucks... thanks for your replies, though. Too much "bleh" in this game :(

Hi, just a question that I can't find the answer to. I remember distinctly that when Civ 5 was first releasted, it was possible to capture a city that was already conquered by someone, and then return the city to the original owner. This appears to be impossible now. Has something changed...

Guys, what's all this empire talk? This game isn't called Empire V, it's called Civilization V. Being an empire isn't a requirement to be in the game. But I would argue that the Polynesians are definitely a civilization. There are of course other civs that could or should be in before...

I¨ve tried removing those files, and that brings back the unit panel, but now it¨s impossible to choose production in a city, so the game cannot progress past turn 1, even if I lower my resolution. Update: Now I¨ve changed game resolution to 1440x900 and freshly re-installed the mod, but the...
