I agree with the problem with great Generals. Also they need to be in the middle of battle to be useful. If I'm expanding and get a great general in my capital he'll probably have to travel quite the distance unprotected only sit around once he gets to the front line. Sweden can use them with...

my problem is that many of the hints say to exit out of steam. However I can't do that because steam I need to close Civ 5 first. Which I can't do because I can't access the game... vicious cycle. Hopefully a comp reboot will work, since this just starting up with me tonight and I've been...

No Canada is one nation/civilization. Quebec should not have it's own civilization anymore than Texas. I think you are confused about Canada with your "the English portion" comment. The province of New Brunswick is officially bilingual, also there are many towns and city districts outside of...

With DLC it seems less urgent to hope for certain Civs in an expansion but here's my list: 1. Sumeria: considered by many the first civilization and founders of many aspects of science (especially Math, since I have a Math degree I'm biased to them)and agriculture 2. The Inuit or Eskimo...

As for diplomacy I find how other Civilizations act less annoying than the City States. Most of of the time the majority of City States want me to take out another City State. However if you take a couple, they start going to war with you. It's weird they are scared of me, when I'm doing what...

Ahhh thanks, that makes sense. I haven't played on deity yet, I'm not used to the AI having much money.

There seems to be a lot of talk of spending 100s or 1000s of gold early in the game. How do you make that much money early on?

I like this idea too. Some trees aren't really consistent either. Like "Commerce" only has 2 policies that immediately give you more gold.

Actually more North American. Aztec empire was mainly in what is now Mexico. Mexico is in North America. Has the information been released on what the Spanish UU and UB are/do yet? That is a big factor on if I'll buy a DLC and I can't readily find that information.

When I try to play a a saved game, after a couple turns the game crashes. I believe this happened with my ongoing game after the first patch. Is this a common problem? Is there a way I can prevent the patch from updating until I'm finished a current game?

I miss the end- game videos a bit. However I miss the end-game graphs and information a lot, since that's the type of stuff I'm studying at school I'm really interested in it. Also I'm very competitive and like to compete against myself. So having all that info helped me compare my games...

I would like a clock in the game. This game is time consuming enough, without a clock it's harder to get back to reality. Also like Civ IV I'd like an alarm clock, but not only setting for amount time played, but to buzz at a certain time. Maybe add some sort of 'snooze' button like 10 more...
