Hello, I am drinking Tetley's and playing Civilization V as Japan with lots of balance mods, on a quick chieftain fractal map with Time Victory on. I'm going for a conquest win (my first ever non-cheating in the Civ series if I succeed!) Watch me here...

I found that the interface was obtuse, overcomplicated and confusing to the point of making the game nigh unplayable. But customisation would be nice.

Thanks for the clarification :) I can see where you're coming from, although by no means was I complaining - I was more interested in the accents themselves and the research involved. I can see where you're coming from with the understanding thing (I know some people who can't understand the...

Try telling that to Koei...

Looking at the leaders on www.civilization5.com I noticed too things: 1. Washington sounds a bit too American, when he should surely sound more British, as the American accent as we know it didn't really develop until the Irish began immigrating in the 19th Century (or at least that's what...

Actually the Normans were Vikings.

63. So I'd just won a culture victory as Catherine and decided to have some fun. I Worldbuildered Suleiman out of my vassalhood, plonked in some grasslands and plains and annihilated him like I always planned. In celebration I granted independence to my New World colonies (read: the entire...

God I'd love Patrick Stewart to do it in his Yorkshire accent (assuming he still has one). Shut yer gob ye self-righteous posh sherry-drinking soft Southern....

Maybe the tech could be History, you'd need Calendar, Alphabet and Writing, and it would net you +1 or 2 culture, +1 gold per trade route, +2 gold per foreign trade route, and it could act as a sort of research granary, keeping some research over for the next tech (though that may be better for...

Africans didn't migrate because their leaders told them to, they did it because they were curious or because they were white and couldn't survive in Africa. The mind boggles.

I think such a system would remove freedom from the players: I tend to play as a Jewish creative Civ and go for a culture or space race win (once I got a diplomatic win by accident; I used the UN to try ang gauge the world's opinion of me), so making Judaism a defensive religion would tear me...

Here in the UK we're being assaulted by adverts telling us to sell our gold...:confused:

But the problem is if someone saw it in a shop they'd just assume it was placeholder art for a game that wasn't released yet and ignore it. This looks nice though; almost makes me regret buying the Digital Deluxe version!
