Just tested this. Switch the video options by turning fullscreen off and running in a window. You can alt-tab away and the game will keep running. You can even work in a small window in front of the game and keep one eye on the action.

It's not terrible. You can successfully play it (if you are willing to work around some bugs and the UI, which _is_ terrible). The problem I have with it is that I find it incredibly slow and tediously boring -- even at standard speed. I've gone back to playing Civ V or BERT, and only read the...

I disagree with much of this (at least on the surface, but suspect that in the end we probably agree on most of what we'd like to see in CIv6+). Part of my problem (not just with this post, but with most of the discussions around stacks vs 1UPT) is making sense of the confusion between strategy...

I just played a game where my troops were sitting on China's border after a war. There was a barbarian camp on the far side of the Chinese city. I watched as the barbarians marched across China, ignoring Chinese units, so they could attack me.

Twenty-four.

This is not a bug based on original ownership. In the list of city names (inside Civilizations.xml), Neapolis is on the list for Scythia and not on the list for Rome. Now, one might argue that giving Neapolis to Scythia instead of Rome as part of the design is itself a bug, but that's a...

The initial post mentioned that these might not be bugs, but that the OP found them substantial enough to stop playing. I'm almost at that point myself. They're really crappy design decisions (or maybe not even decisions, just poor implementations) that make the game markedly worse than it has...

And you left out the horrendous interface around unit cycling. Which includes: [10] I move a unit using only part of its movement allowance. While it is still playing the movement animation, I click to open the promotions box. The unit then finishes moving and closes the promotions box before I...

Um, this was a game on prince:

I haven't quite quit, but I'm getting awfully close. The game just feels tedious. Everything takes forever, and none of the decisions really seems to matter. I've started at least half-a-dozen games, got into some middle period, and quit out of boredom. (And, as background, I've been playing...

Let's start by looking at the following screenshot, where the "active unit" circle shows my invisible destroyer: I'm playing an unmodded standard speed game (prince, small inland seas map). So I'm certain that this is not (a) a cloaked Romulan war ship, nor (b) hiding under Harry Potter's...

I reported this (non)-bug previously: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/manage-civics-screen-broken.604043/#post-14548560 As someone kindly pointed out there, the thin gray line underneath the cards is actually a scrollbar. And the "select types" option doesn't work: there is no button to...

When loading a saved game with "Sort by last modified" selected, the games are not listed in the correct order. The attached screenshot illustrates the problem. It was taken with version [1.0.0.38], but was present in the game at release as well.

I have been able to use the protectorate causus belli, but only after denouncing and waiting several turns for it to appear. Not sure exactly how many, since I forgot to count them....

Yes; here is a save from the same turn as the screenshots. I took the screenshots and saved the game to document the phenomenon because the same thing had happened earlier in the same game, with Spain. They were also down to one city. In that case, I wiped them out, because I didn't want to...
