    AI happiness = difficulty balancer?

    Don't know if it was just a one-off, but i got the same thing on Prince. Around mid-game (Medieval era or so) the happiness list popped up and the AI had some ridiculous numbers with the highest 50 or so.

    ICS: Love it or hate it?

    I don't really get this. There isn't really a debate to be had here, is there? I mean, no one forces you to play in any particular way. Civ 5 is mostly a single player game and even the Multiplayer is generally played with people you know and you've probably set a bunch of ground rules...

    Is the diplomatic AI more clever than we get to see, or not?

    I love Civ5 so far but the AI is just ridiculous and a fanatical warmonger. I don't buy the 'Play to win' argument - the AI doesn't play to win by any means other than Domination victory it seems. In that case it doesn't make sense and it's far more likely that the AI is just an extreme...

    Official System Requirements

    Yeah, my driver installation is pretty screwed up. I somehow manage to update my drivers regularly but i just can't open the CCC anymore. Right clicking the desktop -> CCC seems to do nothing and it's been like that for a while regardless of my driver updates. Tried basically everything...

    Official System Requirements

    To be honest i'm not sure. I'm pretty sure i bought the 256mb one, but the Catalyst says it's 512MB. I'm guessing it's the 256MB one though. It seems to help when i alt tab the game but unlike last night, right now the FPS slows down every couple of minutes so it's really impossible to play...

    Official System Requirements

    What effect does alt-tabbing produce for you? FPS dying down or being restored? Last night i alt-tabbed it and after bringing the game back up again the FPS went back to normal. Don't want to tempt fate because i only did it once and it worked then, but hopefully this will continue working...

    Official System Requirements

    Why does my FPS keeps dropping? I'm getting really pissed off now with this. I load the game, game runs at 20-25FPS, after a couple of minutes my FPS jumps up to around 60FPS and while scrolling is still slow as hell, at least i can run the game in an acceptable and bearable manner and actually...

    Poll: Israeli Unique Unit

    No more than any US marines in Iraq or NATO troops in Bosnia. Collateral damage is not a strength, it's not something that Israel or any armed force does intentionally despite what you'd have us all believe. And of course it doesn't make sense, very few of your suggestions make any sense at all...

    Poll: Israeli Unique Unit

    If you ask ywhtptgtfo, collateral damage. I guess his reasoning would be that Macabee's used their Jewish magic to enchant their weapons to create collateral damage. They're evil like that. It doesn't need to make sense, so long as it's collateral damage. In fact, why make a UU? Instead of...

    ***Official "I'm at/below Minimum Specs" Club ***

    My spec is AMD 4400X2 2GB RAM Radeon 3850HD 256MB The performance is a mixed bag for me. I find that switching between everything on low and everything on medium changes nothing FPS-wise for me, the same problem still remains - the FPS is very smooth, until i move the camera. It's like...

    Beginning Movie Question

    The game is loading while the into plays, it's the equivalent of a drab loading screen in any other game. You can remove the intro via the .ini files but you'll just get a blank screen instead while the game loads. Nothing you can do about it, for me it's better than a loading bar cause i find...

    Pledge for protection .. and some other observations/questions

    I'm interested in how you can actually maintain protection over a city-state yourself, since it seems they only last for a couple of turns, at least when it's you who's making it. I pledge to protect some city-state and a couple of turns later the option of 'Pledge to Protect' re-appears in...

    Poll: Israeli Unique Unit

    Just you thinking they are 'racially segregated communities' (Implying that Israel's actions are motivated by racism) does not make it a historical fact, that description of Israel's settlements speaks volumes about your own political opinion. I know for a fact that many people will dispute this...

    Poll: Israeli Unique Unit

    Don't you think you should avoid political opinions when creating UU's? Nothing coming from ywhtptgtfo passes that criteria. I'd vote for Maccabi or Merkava tank, although the Slinger idea is also quite nice. No reason to drag mods and such to the political mess ywhtptgtfo wants to drag it to...
