I've still got the base edition of Civ V and I'm thinking of getting Gods and Kings, then BNW maybe around Christmas or at the next summer sale. Oddly enough the Gold Edition upgrade is $20 and Gods and Kings is $30. It would be nice to grab the upgrade for $5, I'm hoping they'll do a -75%...

Well, that is good to know. It gives me something to think about with the around 10 cities that are worthless due to corruption. I'm researching things in 5-6 turns now, and using somewhere around 400-600 beakers per turn though. So It would take a hell of a lot of scientists to make any real...

Well, I've never seen a taxman add more than one gold, but I have noticed that scientists NEVER produce any extra beakers, ever. Scientists appear to do nothing, as far as I can tell.

I just wish you could move a group of units without doing each individually. I have only gone to war once since I got civ3, and I was using almost all immortals. It was such a pain to tell 15 guys standing on the same square to go to the exact same spot. You should be able to right click and...

Does the patch take effect on previously saved games, or only new ones?

I haven't read the whole thread, so maybe this is redundant. But for america, we could have the trail of tears or japanese internment as wonders. Of course, this thread has gone more from un-PC ideas to most-unfortunate-historical-events-in-history ideas...

Well, don't forget about Austria. The theory of evolution is based on darwin's natural selection...the 2 basic criteria for natural selection is selective reproduction and heritability. Darwin explained how selective reproduction would cause evolution, but Gregor Mendel supplied the other half...

Do tax collectors always produce 1 additional gold per turn? I noticed that the one tax collector I have is giving one gold, but will a very productive/large city do more? Also, I can't see the exact effect of making citizens scientists. Does this just reduce your research by 1 beaker per...

I find that when you're capturing the last city, it never is the last. Another one always pops up, and its usually about 20 turns walk away. By the time I get there they have two cities....but they're pathetic, barely guarded, and thats usually the end. Still, I wish they would just go away...

Does the AI try to "win"? Meaning, if you disable a method of winning like by conquest, is the AI less likely to attack, etc? I would really be nice if there was some way to group AI actions into a few different categories, and set bonus and penalty modifiers in order to get a peaceful...

It sounds like all the cities I conquered on the north half of the continent are just useless then. Perhaps I should have just stuck with despotism and then I could have rushed improvements to those cities at least. Still, the "core" of my civ is the southern half of the continent. I've got...

Are you hitting the size 6 or 12 limits? You must have fresh water or an aqueduct to grow over size 6, and a hospital to grow over size 12. So, you can't add workers at this level.

Ok, I am having some very strange things going on with my corruption. I'm new to this game, so this was my 4th game (I abandoned the first two, intend to get back to the third) and I had learned a lot of lessons. I'm on a standard continent map, and using persian immortals I conquered the...

This should be an easy one....I have a city with borders on the coast, and I have mapmaking. But there is no option to build galleys or any other naval unit. What else am I missing? THanks :)
