    What civ do you play the most?

    How do you get to 32? Best I could figure is with dance of the aurora, 6 adjacent tundra tiles with forest, but math may be wrong or missing something. (6 faith for dance of aurora, 9 for adjacent woods with stave church, x2 for policy = 30). But thanks for this, I like Brazil for their +24...

    Thank You, from Firaxis!

    Thank you to the Firaxis team for developing my favourite game series! I think I've logged more time in these games than 99.9% of CivFanatics (see attached screenshots ... 11456 hours Civ 5, 8262 hours Civ 6 ... value per hour played has certainly been phenomenal! Two favours to ask of the dev...

    damn these new maps!

    Add me to the 'love the new maps' category. AIs still spawn too close, however.

    [GS] Release time on Steam is wrong?

    It's downloaded, shows as installed .... but when I fire up a game, I still get Rise and Fall. Tips? EDIT: I had to go to "additional content" and enable the x-pac. Very odd, but it's working. Happy playing everyone! I have an 8+ hour flight from Japan in a few hours, will be a great way...

    Base Game and R&F patch notes

    "Spread out all Civilization and City-State starting positions where possible when generating the map." Single best change this expansion, better than new civs, climate, everything - at least for playing large/huge maps. I tend to play big maps, on marathon, and am so tired of having many...

    [GS] Release time on Steam is wrong?

    It's odd, if I go to the steam website while not logged in, it says available Feb 14. If I log in, it says not available until Feb 15, with 1 day, 8 hours remaining. My time zone is west of eastern time, so if the livestream was accurate, release time should be prior to midnight, Feb 14, but...

    Post your crazy starts - If ever a start called for Temple of Artemis, this is it!

    Yeah, but I feel it's going to be too easy - I wanted a casual game, so it's on Emperor, but with this start that will be easy. On the other hand, it would be an easy map for players used to easier difficulties - it's marathon, and with the x3 culture/science costs, Cree's unique scouts will...

    Post your crazy starts - If ever a start called for Temple of Artemis, this is it!

    If anyone is interested in playing this start, save is attached. It would also be a crazy Great Zimbabwe site with all those bonus resources and cattle in range (although you probably just want to send your trade routes here from all your other cities instead, to take advantage of Poundmaker's...

    Post your crazy starts - If ever a start called for Temple of Artemis, this is it!

    While waiting for GS, and after reading the thread on the Cree, I decided to play a a game as Poundmaker. Lo and behold, look at the start: That's right, 7 camp resources (4 truffles, 3 deer), 3 pasture resources, and 3 plantation resources all within the city start - not to mention the 3...

    Did release time change?

    What a wait this was today. Time to fire up a random civ, random map, huge, emperor, marathon game, and see how it goes.

    Did release time change?

    Seeing this too. It should be unlocking in 4 hours, now it shows 16 hours.

    With Civ VI around the corner, how many hours total do you have?

    A recent post on the Civilization facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/civ/posts/10154423119100359) asked how many hours do you have playing Civ V. I know we had a thread here years ago on this topic, but with the years passed, and Civ VI due in two weeks, it is time for this again. Old...

    Why don't you play with mods?

    Over 6000 hours here. I've used a nuke *once*. Mods are good.
