Hello everyone. So I bought Civ 5 immediately after it came out and was disappointed by a number of things in it. I told myself "that's not fair, you're comparing a brand new release to a game with not one but two full expansions that flesh it out. Give Firaxis time to perfect it." So rather...

LAN should work fine on those machines (just be sure to have the most powerful one host- not that you needed the reminder :)). As for the delay- yeah, Civ V takes a looooong time to do anything even on super-high-end machines. Part of the problem, I think, is that most people run it in DX9 even...

Except that, for me at least, running DX10/11 invariable crashes the game within fifteen minutes, whereas DX9 allows me to finish a game with no problems.

The problem is, there is no World Builder in Civ 5. No one has access to it because it doesn't exist. Sorry.

That's just hilarious.

Because Perpentach's dialog is awesome, and I'd like to know where I can find it without loading the game up and copying it by hand. Thanks!

This still bothers me. Just noticed it last night (first time I had access to planes). Strike or bomb missions? They animate nicely. Rebase, even, looks good. I have no trouble with paratroopers. What irritates me is the plane unit, when selected and not doing anything, hovers inside the...

Playing an Archipelago map. I was separated from my immediate neighbors by coast tiles, but one of them declared war on me anyway. (Not surprising- I had only a token land military. I relied on my ships!) Seeing a chokepoint, as no one had Astronomy yet, I placed a Trireme, thinking that would...

I half-agree with this choice. I think it's good that, given the new unit maintenance and the 1upt style, current-age units take about 7 turns to make in a production city. But I think it's unreasonable that mechanized infantry and modern armor take 14 turns to make in a production-heavy city...

I mean, eventually I'm sure I'll be able to tell simply by looking at the city- but I'm not quite there yet. My problem is, captured cities drain a *lot* of happiness, so I basically raze them all unless they've got a wonder in them... but, how can you tell if it has a wonder or not? Unlike...

I miss the age-specific music. I also miss the music that you would get when you talk to a leader (Ragnar Industrial FTW). That said, the background music is nice- I just wish it would flow with the game a bit more! Like someone said before me, hearing Renaissance concertos as I invent the...

I have the same problem. Oddly enough, when I first got the game it ran just fine! I played a while, then I had to go to work. When I got back, nothing. Can't play at all; I don't even get to the intro movie before it tells me "Civilization 5 has encountered an error and has to close". This...

First off, if you see each others' screens, it's a bad thing. So stop looking at his spawn point. :P That said, I think one gold is fair enough. But if one of you has two gold, one gems, two corn, iron, and three fish, and the other has one rice and a bunch of floodplains, then you might want...

Well the game is finished- and I won! XD Genghis did me a favor by going to war with my friend (France). I may have nudged him a bit.... but anyway, he served as a very nice distraction. He wasn't actually able to do any damage to France's cities, but he bled their army... and as soon as I had...

Hi! So me and a friend of mine decided to dust off the Civ disks and play a couple LAN games against each other. So far, I've won 3-0 (especially sweet was when I made him sign a Capitulation treaty :D), but this latest game I'm having some trouble with. Without giving the history of the...
