OOPS! it is going forward!!! check it out: http://rhye.civfanatics.net/

Rhye's... Civ5... anyone have a word about it? Or shall we all give up hope?

I havent seen or heard about RFC is a long time. Anyone have the low-down on whther that project is active?

After playing a brief time on a huge map, I notice the turns are slower. I logged out of Civ5 and came to this website. Now I get a notice from Windows that my computer "is running slow" and do I want to "use a basic windows 7" screensaver? Is this just a coincidence?

seems there arent many fans of 1885 era besides us two with such few downloads I love this time period. However. I dont love downloading and testing. That makes me lazy I guess. But it also indicates that i doint have much free time to play, so when i do, it needs to be something that i am...

No news all this time? No news is bad news.

I want you to know I am not an early adopter. i would like to download it when I hear more feedback about stability. But I like the concepts, and i like the topic. I feel a little bad not testing it to help you out. apologies. In fact, you put a lot of work into this so maybe i should...

it is soup? already? will taste....

I find Civ5 mods and scenarios disheartening. :sad: They are usually in need of upgrades and implementing those involves the user deleting things, or they promise more and more but because of that they never get finished, or Firaxis changes the game and it messes up the scenario, or the scenario...

i like the concept but i dont like to mess with first versions. So i will lurk and see how this is recieved by the more adventurous souls. But the real reason that i am writing now instead of lurking is to say "Thank you" for doing some work on RFC for civ 5. All the sudden civ 5 doesnt...

Anyone else find that the minuteman doesnt believe in roads? He does not get a road bonus and prefers to travel 'cross country' instead. How is this UU an advantage when he cant get to the combat area on the other side of the empire? Give me a musketman anyday.

The Roman army approaches the enemy. Miles behind the siege ballistas are coming up. The solitary Legion at the outpost is preparing for the fight. How? By building a road through the marsh and then the forest adjacent to the enemy city When the entire army arrives, and war is declared...

T^he whole point of gifting a unit is to help the little city state hold off the big bad civ. It is a clandestine way fight against a civ you dont like. Which is pretty cool. The city state will use the unit in 3 turns or so. What the city state REALLY wants is for you to get into a war with...

Okay, i am at work now. Played the game last night and stayed up a little late. Thats a good sign, isnt it my gamer friends? Yes that 'one more turn' thing in my brain got turned on last night. But now, while I look forward to playing some more tonight, i am not leaving work early to do it...

I think the nationalities idea is a good approach. It will be impossible not to offend people. It occurs to me that you could have just plain "slavs" which would cover the balkans AND Russia :) I also like the government /civics restrictions. More realism is better than total freedom...
