It's not just numbers EU3 managed to make the system transparent enough that when some one declared war on you it was with specific aims and goals. Essentially in history no one just goes to war because they're board they go because they want land or resources, because they don't like your God...

Hey everyone I'm a long time Civ IV, III, II, I, and Alpha Centauri player and I just had some thoughts after some time spent with the demo and I was wondering what people with the full game thought. I liked the new combat and the hex's, though I'm a little worried that the AI doesn't seem so...

Ah, thanks I should have mentioned that I've already read Dune and one of it's squeals.

I'm moving out toward a huge desert pretty soon in Xinjiang China and I was looking for some recommendations for books about the desert. The books can be fiction or non-fiction of any genre, though I'm looking for either newer or more famous stuff so I can get it on my Kindle. It can be about...

I just upgraded to patch m, I have been using g for a while, and whenever I try to start a game it slows down to being unplayable and I'm forced to restart my computer as I can't even maneuver my mouse over to the exit to desktop button. I downgraded back to patch g and it works fine again...

May the nightmarish dreams sent by your drowned masters involve three ghosts.

I used to play a lot of Rock Band with my 360 but it broke recently and I'm feeling sort of music game deprived. I know there is a Guitar Hero for the PC but it almost certainly wouldn't run with my PC and I can't buy another big plastic guitar right now. I've played Audiosurf and it's pretty...

Hmmmm. Thanks for the advice Machinarium has a really great art style but at 10x the price Monkey Island is probably a better bet. What annoys me is that I can't seem to find a PC demo of it while I know there is a Xbox one. Since both the classic Monkey Island and the new Time Gentlemen Please...

Damn steam sales I want to get one point and click adventure but I can't decided on which one. I have liked some point and clicks a lot over the years, Longest Journey comes to mind, but I don't play very many of them. Secret of Monkey Island is $2.50 today, Machinarium is $20 and Time Gentlemen...

I always have trouble getting Sphener out. Righteousness is such an incredibly expensive tech. It's available pretty early though I'm just not sure if I should spend about 100 mid game turns to get it.

I've been wondering how well Aristocracy would work with the Illians and all their snow tiles?

OK if there is no mod that just does that, what other modmods besides Orbis do it?

The civilopedia just has a blank space where the upkeep for Sacrifice the Weak should go. Does that mean it has no upkeep or that it's just not listed? Thanks.

Pardon my asking but what's a "Divine Intervention game?"

The barbarians and infernals being different seems pretty basic to me and is in a lot of the modmods, but the FFH lore is always so nuanced and well thought out I was just wondering if there was a lore justification for it I was unaware of? Thanks.
