Let's see, how many hours do I play...hmmm I work evenings so I have all day to play. Often times I sleep late and will only play 3 hours or so, but at night I may play a few more. I'd say anywhere from 20-30. It was more awhile ago but since then i've been watching the Smallville episodes on...

Do you use the Stack Attack option? I voted yes, as I just recentley began to use this option and find it extremely convient and useful. Since the expansion the computer brings huge stacks to my doorstep and I find it a bit tedious managing which of my fighters should attack. I rather wish...

At times while playing the game i'll notice an espionage icon will appear next to certain civs. The icon may stay for a few turns...or many; hell, some civs won't have the icon next to it. Can anyone tell me what this respresents? I could not locate in the manual or in-game any mention as to the...

I really do love this thread! EOR please post new stories soon :)

I just started thinking...Say i'm getting hammered pretty good by the AI, let's say Monty. He's throwing a ton of stacks at my cities and I can do all but keep them at bay. I'm not able to advance into his territory but I am destorying his stacks over time. Would this effectively mean as long as...

Thank you for the superb information Monkeyfinger! This is exactly what I was looking for. Now I can have a sense of relief if i'm mainly defending my land without getting worried about racking up a ton of WW in my cities. I had always debated on getting into a war if I wasn't prepared and ready...

I tend to have long drawn out wars for some reason. As this is the case war weariness seems to be a rather big issue in the expansion. I've always wondered what affects war weariness and if it could be managed somehow. For instance, does declaring war on someone make it harsher on your people...

Wow, some of you get freakin' lucky! How can a liberation give you almost +20?? I had just a few modifiers for past events, i'm assuming there's plenty more that increase as the game goes on? Well i've been beat pretty bad by some of you, but this thread is kinda fun! I'll admit I wasn't...

haha I was just thinking about that. If I were to switch to Representation I would probably get a few more on there :P

In my current game i've made such a good ally with Pericles that we share the most positive modifiers that i've ever seen. Currently i'm at +23!! I'd have to say there's no way i'll ever get on his bad side haha Can anyone else match this? :mischief:

I'm glad you found your way here, this is the BEST civ forum hehe

I've only been playing the new expansion a few days, but i've noticed wonderful improvements on everything! I was so overjoyed a few moments ago I wanted to share my excitement and post this positive experience with you all. On my current game I started near Pericles of Greece. I immediately...

Great job! I can see you put a lot of effort into this because it's very colorful and easy on the eyes. It's a joy just to look over!

I bought it on Saturday for $30, did they just start the sale? Because i'm thinking I could take my receipt in and get refunded $15!

I posted the incorrect resolution; it's 1920x1200 :/ Anyhow, no comments? In windows you can adjust the DPI to suit your resolution, so there must be some scaling mechanism code we could implement into the XML for Civ.
