    Best government civic

    I understand and ultimately I know that what you said here is right, as well as everything else I didn't quote is also right. The comparison I did was inaccurate because it becomes extremely difficult to compare all of the other bonuses to your empire that you get with each difference...

    Best government civic

    I believe I am missing the point as I disagree with the statement "your commerce can become anything you want." If I have 0 gold, and I need to run my slider at 50% gold to break even, then my 12 commerce can not become 12 beakers + modifiers. Where as if I had 2 Rep scientists, and I was...

    Best government civic

    Note: I'm ignoring Printing Press and Free Speech, as well as food, hammers and GPP to compare commerce to beakers. Situation 1: If you have 2 Riverside Financial Towns producing 6 commerce each your total commerce is 12. With a library you are producing 12*1.25=15 science per turn at 100%...

    No cheese games.

    If you have a suspicious unforested tile 2N1W, then you will [most likely] decline the options to move and settle your first city 1S, 1SW, 1SE, or 1E, as this would remove the resource from your city's BFC. Also, by definition, if you have no reason to move your first settler, then the whole...

    Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

    This type of request is not uncommon. The reason this happens is because everything is considered a number to the AI. And a partially researched tech is only considered a smaller fraction of the whole tech in value. In the AIs mind, a tech which they have 80% researched is only worth 20% of...

    No cheese games.

    Hello, There is no such thing as "playing wrong" unless you want to speak subjectively. However, if you want to speak objectively, one could say "playing un-optimally" but that is a silly word, and, as with everything in Civ, "it depends." For virtually any situation you can come up with, I...

    No cheese games.

    This is incorrect. It is quite possible to tell who the AI is going to attack with absolute certainty if you understand the underlying code. This is also incorrect. I've been able to beg (read: demand) 1 gold from AIs at cautious. AFAIK there is no AI that will not declare on you because...

    Is civ5 worth buying it?

    I actually agree with you on all accounts. (Including the stuff I didn't quote for brevity.) My explanation was meant to be factual, not opinionated. Those are the facts, as I understand them, as to why Hexes not Squares. And I disagree with you about the sarcasm of the favourite school...

    Is civ5 worth buying it?

    I agree with a lot of what Sundowner said here. A lot of games are now rewarding time and effort rather than actual content. Many games have achievements for dying. You gain a 'reward' for losing. ...but I digress. The issue with a hex is the concept of vector addition. If I move 1 unit...

    Help mod 35 civs problem

    Is it in the beyond the sword/mods folder, or just the mods folder? Also WHAT is in the mods folder? (The files, or a directory)

    Help mod 35 civs problem

    Mods go in the \<install directory>\Beyond the Sword\Mods directory. Move everything there. You should have a \Mods\35 Civs (or whatever the mod name is) folder, and then you have to use "load a mod" option in the game to load it. Furthermore, mod questions belong in the mod forums. Is this...

    why is isabella such a jerk?!

    Mike, he is quoting facts in an attempt to help you learn. Since he is giving you this information one can draw the conclusion that he actually thinks highly of you. If he didn't think you were capable of learning he wouldn't be attempting to educate. Because he is giving you education, he...

    "Maranoob"

    I believe there has been a misunderstanding here.

    Resources bonus limited to Happiness/Health when trading them?

    Yes, I did. Thanks for catching that. I edited my post to reflect this.

    "Maranoob"

    No, I did not. I meant "in general" not at you, Seraiel. Sorry, as I was quoting you I can easily see why this was unclear. Please accept my apologies for that.
