lol I thought the same, though it would be easy to miss. Who would remember that the mouseover text draws its info from the maintenance cost.

I believe the issue is the AI Objective. They "Play to Win" rather than "Build a Civilization" Its a zero-sum game, as there is no ability to jointly win a game. You and your best-friend-for-life Ally can't both win, sooner or later you have to destroy each other so there is no reason to...

I go with the mechanical breakdown/human error idea. An aircraft that crashes is just as destroyed as one that is shot down. This goes with any machine-based unit. Soviet tanks in WW2 suffered heavy losses just driving to the battlefield and the German heavy tanks at Kursk also suffered...

I believe a stack of 2 with a Diminishing Return of 50% for No. 2 would work, designating the Primary unit would allow either a better defended Archer or Swordsman with light ranged ability. Hard limits would be useful to prevent Carpet o Doom. Also to prevent City Carpets if smaller tiles...

I believe Saarud is correct. Like the OP I find CiV boring to play, in the early turns everything takes too long and once a decent army is built it feels like playing Sim Traffic Jam. And overall the game just doesn't feel "fun" to play. Making it harder doesn't make it enjoyable, Lawn...

Mechanised Infantry sounding like kid's toys, how hard is it to get some decent sound clips? Oh yeah, also that Uncanny Valley effect. Queen Elizebeth talking!!!!!

For me a key issue is that the hexes are simply too big for the game. I would prefer that the map "image" remain but with hexes a 1/3 to 1/2 smaller, so that one tarrain tile would incorporate 3 or a full 7 tiles. A city would still use the current scale and simply incorprate a larger number...

I think tech diffusion is as important for gameplay as much as realism. Currently it is too easy to get too far ahead/behind in techs and end up steam-rolling the enemy or getting steam-rolled yourself, neither which is "fun". Dull/boring late-game is well known and going for a cutlure vic...

Germany had missiles because they beelined for Cruise Missiles and had too much science(Lib/Uni) and too few hammers(forge/factory). Russia won because they had the better balanced civ. And China was a "Puppet Civ" for the last few hundred years and only just got "liberated" so are...

Reinforced Units Righto, here's my thoughts on some alterations. It's what the cool kids want. Any 2 units should be able to combined into a Reinforced Unit "stack", however the stats would be affected in both a NEGATIVE and positive way. This would allow for combined-arms units but...

bah! got it. Simple error. Had the same prob. In Regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Firaxis\Nexus\Viewer Executable as C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid meier's civilization v sdk\Nexus\x86\Nexus.exe Change to: Executable as C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\sid...

China: Just finished a Huge World map and they are great. The Cho-Ku-Nu double attack effectivly doubles your back line. They are devastating, several teamed together with a 45% GG in toe destroys AI armies before they even get to attack. I even kept a few around later in the game to hit...
