I'm in my 2nd game on this version. It does seem like the AIs DoF more... I'm not of the opinion that this is really bad as there is also plenty of war between them so, if anything, the diplomatic situation is a bit more dynamic and realistic. However, if this is going to be the norm, I would...

In my plays, the AI vassals created like this never last till end game and, as Gazebo mentioned, each time they did it, it made proper sense in light of the fact that either the CIV they preemptively surrendered to or I would have goon at them sometime in the next 50 turns. In each case, it...

Hello, I have been playing a lot since finding the Vox Populi mod (much thanks for all your effort). Authority and Progress work fine and are, as far as I can tell, equally viable. Getting them both is also viable (and strong). Tradition is ... well, if it's viable, it's not with my play...

Just completed a game on Emperor playing France. Overall, the bonuses are nice and add flavor and certainly emphasize the right "French/Napoleon" traits. Some feedback: 1. The 10% bonus for subsequent hits is subject to abuse. 5 previous age archers hit a city followed by two current age...

Hello, First, thank you to the team that has made Civ 5 even more enjoyable to play. Secondly, would it be possible to add an option when you conquer a city state to just install a new government and then not have to puppet the city? I'm happy if they hate me after but I find that I'm often...

Hi All, I have played for Civ for years (more than most probably). I have now played 5 enough to be comfortable with it but I am still not sure if it was a better "Civ" experience than 4 (Based on game expectations developed in 2 & 3). That said, I acknowledge that many improvements...

Oof.. I can not believe that worked.

I've learned a lot on this replay and I hope I could repeat for a fresh start... So far I believe I'm doing good. Just got the Great Library have 7 cities (total pop 32). Research is only slightly behind the AI. Economy is not bad... Ragnar has started a war and his 1st stack gives me...

Thank you so much! I intend on replaying to try to struggle with expanding more faster. I still haven't grasped the general game concept of churning out GP yet... I know it's a huge flaw in my game right now but learning to balance my economy, whip properly, etc has been a big enough...

Like most of you I have played for almost 7 years now... I lurk here some but given my current state of unemployed boredom, I figured I would try to build my playing style to match my experience. Anyway, attached is my game at 500 BC on Immortal. Please let me know what you think. I have...

I want to turn the Great Wall into a Wonder that grants all of the controlling Civ's units a bonus versus Barbarian units. A small bonus inside the CIV boundary might be more realistic but the great general modifier is a good comprimise. As there is no way to grant a promotion to an entire...

Why is there no way to train units during peace-time? I would like to see someone develop a unit action option (when in a city with a barracks or a new building specifically for the purpose) that would slowly give the unit experience over the years to some max number. As a balance, units...

I noticed the other day when I finally upgraded from copper to iron with a warmonger sized army (I had a hard time getting to an iron source for a while) that my "power" rating did not jump like I think it should when almost all my units get a +1. I was playing the latest FFH2 (not the BTS...
