Border growth seems to be a little odd to me at the moment, unless I'm completely wrong about how it should work. Belgrade, in the bottom right, has expanded to the third ring when there are plenty of, what appear to be, equivalent tiles in the second ring. I haven't revealed iron yet, so maybe...

It's debatable if war elephants are even worth using when you have the option to do so. You're spending more hammers to get a unit that's only marginally stronger than the same-era spearman/swordsman that it will be going up against while still having all the same weaknesses of the horseman (no...

Looks to be, or at least it doesn't crash when loading an 11/10 save.

Change the MinDistanceCities and MinDistanceCityStates values in ..\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\(2) Community Balance Overhaul\Balance Changes\Worlds\WorldSizes.sql. Setting those to 4 is the first thing I do every update. Personally, I settle almost all of my cities at 4...

As he said though, "no gameplay reason". If you want to talk from a historical/real standpoint, the B-52 shouldn't be allowed on carriers, but it is. For a game like Civ, you want to factor in history as much as possible, but gameplay always comes first. Hence why there's no restriction from...

Building the wonder gives you the yields from the wonder, the bonus yields from Holy Sites, more votes in the WC based on following cities and improved pressure (I think), but it is not required for the founder bonus ability (ex. Hero Worship's faith and GAP on city capture, Theocratic Rule's...

One of the first two policies in Statecraft (the one on the left, forget the name) gives spies. One of your neighbors should have Statecraft 2+ in their policy count display. Now, go kill him.

:c5strength: The buildings that directly state they reduce :c5gold: or :c5strength: need, like the Grocer or Barracks, need to be built as your needs start increasing. After that is the occasional wonder or policy that reduces needs, like the Statue of Zeus or one of the first Industry...

Have you enhanced your religion yet? Inquisitors are not available for anyone until then.

I don't think being on the receiving end of a war declaration does anything for warmonger penalties other than you don't get the penalty for declaring. The moment you take a city that wasn't yours to begin with, even in a war you didn't start, you're no longer the defender - you're the...

After installing the hotfix, the movement range border for units is acting really weird. Instead of the normal max range border, I'm seeing a border pop up around a random nearby hex (only one) when right clicking to move. Anyone else seeing this, or is it just me?

It does, and it was. It's not that the current functionality is broken or bugged. As Funak pointed out, it doesn't work because the GP in question was not flagged for the same religion as the one being enhanced (in this particular case, it was flagged for "no religion"). This was more a...

Yeah, I pretty much have the gist of the original design, but wanted to bring up the scenario as I don't remember anything like this talked about when the capturing holy city changes went in (or I may have just missed that part of the discussion). You do bring up another possibility as well...

So I just encountered a situation I've never seen since the ability to capture holy cities was added. Austria and the Iroquois pinned me into a two-city corner early on, so I bum rushed Austria to make a little breathing room. About 4-5 turns before I was going to capture her capital, she...

I can see there being a few issues with that. 1. I may not want just any city eating up my iron. If I have a Heroic Epic built, I want my iron-units coming from that city, not others. 2. I personally don't like using more than my own personal supply of strategic resources in the early game...
