Agreed. How much of a factor P should be is a question of balance. It could be slightly lower in Civ5, but I believe it should be the most important of them all. Your reasoning that the technological progress of an entire country is greater than that of a state which again is greater than that...

Are you trying to say that more pop always means faster research in Civ5? Thats most certainly not the case, and if you do not build any of the science-related buildings, and avoid social policies like Rationalism, it would be possibly to outtech you, even with only a quater of your pop. If...

I don't know if you are refering to me as one of those that think that f(P,F,W,C) = A * P. I specifically said that the educational system does play a role in real life, just like it does in Civ5. The other variables could be tied to the Social Policy system of the game, where the value of W...

I don't really understand why so many people think it is unfair or strange that science is directly tied to population. More pop means more great thinkers, which means faster technological advancement. Of course this can be boosted by developing a good educational system which is also...

Just a quick question: Are the DLC civs still not useable in multiplayer?

Which makes it the strongest happiness policy in almost all situations.

Haven't played on deity yet, but I feel I can manage my happiness fairly easily on immortal. I prefer to play on emperor though, because I believe higher levels destroys certain aspects of the game. Early wonders is one of them. Expand early -> rebuild your happiness -> blitz an enemy ->...

Don't raze the captured cities unless they are very small or very badly placed. While it does take a while to construct a courthouse, and it will cost you maintenance, remember that more pop = more science, more production and more gold. Probably more land as well. Razing is only...

I am not going to buy any additional civs unless they can be used in MP.

Ehm, do you? Can you provide a link?

I am not. The game does still, of course, need time to load.

I don't think I can ever go back to civ4. I will miss hexes, social policies, limited strategic resources, 1upt, unique leader abilities and many other things too much. But have fun.

20% increased combat strength for all units is absolutely insane. When the buggy golden ages are fixed, Persia will be nothing more than average.

This kind of stuff should result in a ban. You do NOT speak for the majority of the civ players, and I find it hilarious, yet tragic, that you would think so. There are only 2 major problems with CIV5 right now: 1) the AI (combat and diplomatic) 2) balance (happiness, civs, leader...

Haha You should really decide against it simply because its a pretty silly and stupid exploit (if it even works).
