Ok... well thats an odd choice since everything else is calculated. As long as we know it WORKS i guess. It becomes weirder if you get other bonuses from cards added though. I hope they ll add that in soon.

Either the card doesnt work or it doesnt display correctly. It says i am doing 9,5 hammers. 8 from working tiles, 2 from the palace and -0,5 from amenities. I dont see the bonus of 50% taken into account though! Calculating amount of turns necessary it DOES seem to help based on the amount of...

Well after the update of the game the game is running now for me! Maybe cause it skipped those steps?

Specify. What is 'a while'. >24 hours? Thats what it takes for me with 19 updates and not even close to finished. And i am not sure which update is the culprit.

well... so much for that. Today i tried KB3102810 to solve the long updates... i tried to get that from microsoft site but its been 'searching for updates' for 11 hours or so... its crazy!

Well... that didnt work. I spend yesterday trying to update Windows... But that wouldnt work. Many hours to 'find' updates (how difficult can it be?) and then it was stuck 14 hours on 'update 5 out of 19' 21%. It was still there just now and i rebooted. No updates installed. Its like Microsoft...

Hmm i wasnt kidding with 10 hours to update Windows Its 16 hours now and its finally installing updates. Crazy. I am going to leave the fondling with Microsoft VC for tomorrow i guess... its 2 am now...

I still say a Total War like system of Armies would be ideal. Armies could get bigger through the ages. Like 5 units in prehistoric - 10 classical --- 30 in modern They already have armies but it seems its 3 units max not 30... You d have to create armies with different max compositions. Like 20...

Oh darn it this is SO complicated. I am NOT fit to solve issues like this. And i see i am hardly the only person.. so... i have Windows 7 64x and way down on updates as well. The Microsoft VC Redist or whatever its called just doesnt work. It says updating but it doesnt work. Its stuck at 2 out...

Not sure where i should ask this. How long did this 'installation step' take for any of you? Its on step 2 without any bar to signal any progress and its been well over 40 minutes now. No sign of progress. Is it supposed to take this long? that's longer than it took to download / install the...

I dont like it either. It has grown on me too though. Still i would prefer more beautiful varied landscapes. I think the lack of difference in trees is one of the most nagging things to me. I want trees in the tundra to look different from those right next to a desert. Civ 5 had different...

I think its likely Persia will be the first DLC civ. It will come together with a scenario wherein Gorgo is the Greek leader and Xerxes the Persian one. I dont think Gorgo will be a leader for the main game just for a scenario. Likely Isabella is for another scenario. It might be something...

I think most people agree Persia is the most obvious absentee... Inca's, Ottomans and the Mongols are the other ones that come to mind. Personally i would have excluded Brazil and Scythia and got Persia and Inca instead. I think Ottomans / Arabia is a choice, dont get both in base game. Same...

Surprised no one saw this yet. Oxford University: +20% science in this city, and awards 2 randomly-chosen free technologies when completed. Must be built on Grasslands or Plains adjacent to a Campus District with a University. + 3 Great Scientist points per turn + 2 Great Works of Writing...

I agree Persia should have been in. Very much so. Always enjoyed playing them and they are infinitely more important than some civs that are in. My changes would be Incas > Brazil Ottomans > Arabs and Persia > Scythians: You d get Aztecs America Inca Congo Egypt Ottomans Sumer Persia Greece...
