Is there any way to track how you compare to other civs when contributing to projects like the International Games? Aside from roughly calculating based on the percentage it goes up/your investment? Even with that method, I don't know if it's all 1 civ contributing, or if I'm way ahead because...

Let me start by saying that I love this new expansion. I feel trade, ideologies and the new culture were all exceptionally well implemented, and I had a blast in my first games experimenting with them. That being said, it seems I've run into a trend of the AI just being completely incompetent...

It's going to be a big adjustment for a lot of people, including myself. I was playing at Immortal at the end, but I hadn't really shaken the habit of building way too much in my cities. They've really made it so you can't building spam your cities anymore. A combination of way, way more...

For the people who seem to be confused as to what's different about diplo: You can't see modifiers. We don't know what's pissing them off, what's making them happy. Maybe it's the same for you if you played on Noble or Prince, but if you were on Immortal or Deity in CivIV, then playing dip...

I'm having a bit of a strange problem. I did some searches and couldn't seem to find a solution, so I'm seeing if anyone here might be able to help out. I was recently playing a standard game (no mods loaded), and was just scrolling around the map when suddenly it zoomed all the way, to the...

I think this guide is best for aspiring Emperor/Immortal players. Will help them break bad habits, which is probably the most critical thing in moving up to these levels. I wouldn't follow this for more than a game or two though, because then you're just building a new habit, instead of...

Quick question: In reading through the forums I've noticed people mentioning an auto-save feature several times. Wanted to know how I can activate this. Just lost about an hour of gameplay to the program 'encountering a problem' and shutting down. Similarly I've lost hours on being absent...

Had a quick question in regards to warring and vassals. Often when I have a civilization I've almost wiped out I prefer to just kill them completely rather than vassalize. Mostly I hate dealing with the negative happiness from cities wanting to return to their home land (or whatever the...
