I experienced that too, along with a few other things. No tech popup, no civic popup, no popups for inspirations.

So to answer those questions in reverse order, the 650M is the one with 512 MB of ram. When looking at the other thread, I didn't realize there were two versions of the graphics card. Back to your first question, there are no simple vertical lines, polygons, or other graphics artifacts. It...

She started a new game, played a few turns, and it seemed fine -- all on the lowest graphical setting. I was going to have her load a copy of my saved game from about turn 250 in the first GotM challenge, to see how her computer handled a map that was quite a bit more full, but not at the level...

Update: browsing through the MBP's specs, it appears that both the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and the GeForce GT 650M are listed as video cards. The GeForce is listed under a PCIe bus, which doesn't mean anything to me, but maybe will mean something to one of you all.

I'm posting this on behalf of my wife - she and I are trying to get Civ VI working on her 2012 Macbook Pro. Based on the benchmark thread, it seems like she should be able to run the software, but the game freezes shortly after entering benchmark mode. These are the specs for her machine: El...

Like Chowee, I lurk on the forums a bit, and only have posted a handful of times before. I've started a couple of Civ4 and Civ5 GOTMs, but never finished one. Really excited about this game though. It was a pretty eventful first 100 turns. I settled one SE of the starting position to try to...

Voted for Arabia - I think the Last Prophet mechanic will be fun to try out.

I don't think that's true. I think "Wildcard" is a specific type of policy, which applies to great people generation. It also appears from the information out so far that Wildcard policies are only available a few policies down the tree, but military policies are available almost immediately. So...

Well, here goes. Occasional lurker here, but this is my first time (apart from dabbling in, and not finishing, the GOTM series) actually trying a forum game – and, it is my first time posting a story about what I’ve done in a game. The first 75 turns have gone well for me, despite a couple...

In a recent game, I actually used the AI's trick as Suleiman to great success. Had control of the Hindu papacy (not the AP; China had built that) and had Friendly relations with Egypt, the other majority Hindu country, and Germany, who was my vassal. Sent out missionaries and spread Hinduism...

Thanks! Now I realize that those saves are for the purpose of assigning techs to the AI (and maybe for other reasons that I don't know about).

I was just checking out the saves and thinking of starting a game, but why no save on Prince level? That's where I am, working on taking my game above Noble, but I'm not sure I'm ready for Monarch yet.

It could also be influence "ranking" points.

Moved my settler 1S to start and founded Kyoto. By 1 AD, I had 5 cities: 2360 BC: Osaka, on the western part of the main island 1600 BC: Tokyo, on the northern part of the main island 650 BC: Edo, on the small island that's visible across the water from Kyoto 500 BC: Satsuma, small SW...
