    Anyone know if Civ5 has been pirated yet?

    And Steam uses extra resources. Hell it uses more than my sidebar, and it stays in the background unless you manually close it. Steam is adware, that's what I object to, especially when I have taken so many steps to make sure I'm not infected by normal adware, such as the pernicious...

    What's the hardest Victory Condition to get?

    May I say that it's typical of a Manu fan to want to get achievements in such a way. Must be all those favourable refereeing decisions that make them take the easy route...

    My First Immortal Game

    On Immortal I tend to stick with expansionist (Warrior/Scout/Settler/Settler and steal a CS Worker - then go for a later rush), but any strategy has to bend the knee to pragmatism. If you're hemmed in you need to get aggressive real early.

    Stupid Question: How to Hurry Production?

    I hadn't noticed the reduced cost. Are you sure?

    Getting penalized for playing nice?

    Without difficulty level and other settings it's hard to gauge. There's something wrong with the scoring on Civ V, in that it doesn't appear that you are rewarded for playing at a higher difficulty level, so the higher level you play the worse your scores get.

    What are you playing until the next patch?

    HMMK, and some Civ V.

    How CIV5 diplomacy works

    I hope that's not true. Yesterday Rome did a DoW, and after I killed a few of its units began making suicidal (for me) peace offers - like I give them gold, resources open borders and a city for 10 turns of peace. I had a least 3 such offers before a flat peace for peace offer. If it's heads AI...

    Selling open borders to AI... yes or no?

    avl8 makes a good point. I hadn't thought of using it as a check. The reason I don't sell sometimes is that I block off an area for later development and I don't want them sending a settler through. Now if you can block them it's OK, and if there's nowhere to settle it's OK too.

    Death of Conventional Strategies? [11/18 Patch Notes]

    Can't allow that then can we? Where might that lead?

    Selling open borders to AI... yes or no?

    On easier difficulties I take the money, because I'm not worried about the AI. On Deity I only say yes if they're not in a position to take advantage. Storm is right - give it to the wrong AI and you could regret it.

    Civiliopedia gone horribly wrong..

    Hardly ever look at the 'pedia. But this one is bad. Skimped on the writing, flawed design.

    Death of Conventional Strategies? [11/18 Patch Notes]

    Hmmm, looks like early non-horse unit rush is going to be the only (early) strategy at higher difficulties. And Honor is going to be a great help in that for many Civs - some already get advantages in combat. But neither of the other Ancient SPs are very attractive.

    Favorite Social Policy trees?

    For Rationalism I save up till I get to Renaissance. It fits very well with Babylon.
