    How many hours have you played Civ5 (according to Steam)?

    1067 hours. Been playing Civ since DOS. I am also the original artist for the Radio icon though I wasn't given credit. Jeffrey Stephenson Design

    Thanks guys! I got a chance to display Unidyne (the basis for the Civ icon) at the Exploratorium in San Francisco last Feb. Here it is with a sample of some of my other work. It is my hobby. I don't do this as a business. As far as wooden computers go...we used to put TVs and radios in wooden...

    It's very cool to have my work in my favorite computer game but at the same time disappointing to not get credit. Just because I publish my photos on the Internet doesn't mean I give up copyright. As evidenced in this thread, changing original art slightly doesn't really fool anyone. It only...

    Not a joke. Those are my photos of my original work. I suppose the original photo is a better match when flipped. Jeffrey Stephenson Design

    Warlords...The Great Wall is horrible!

    I just finished playing the Barbarian Scenario with one of the civs having the Great Wall. I figured that I would have to build a pile of Galleys and sail around it. Instead.....I just walked right through it???? I don't get it. I think it would have been more fun trying to get around it...

    GOTM #13 *Spoilers* Thread

    So I took the Roman island and moved my capital to the center city. I decided to go for a quick culture victory since I was so close. I blew through 100,000 culture points and nothing happened! Broke out the rule book "and no rival civ has more than half of your cultural value". Rats...

    GOTM #13 *Spoilers* Thread

    IT WORKED! Thanks Greg. I suppose this is in the book somewhere and I'm just being stupid. Doh! My game has gone strange. I was way ahead in tech, points, wonders and territory so I decided to cruise to an easy finish without any more warfare. I don't give the AI enough credit. They saw...

    GOTM #13 *Spoilers* Thread

    There are no faces to click on. There is an orange dot in the blank spaces when I click on them. Cleopatra appears no matter which blank space I click. Obviously something has gone wrong. Was this GOTM created in PTW?:confused: I'm kicking the AI's ass so bad it has decided to cheat. I...

    GOTM #13 *Spoilers* Thread

    As opposed to these other people I've seen the entire map. The Iroquois seem to be the big bosses on the other side of the world. I see that they took out the English early. I have cleaned out my "Island" except for four cities. One Chinese, one Egyptian and two Zulu. They are all in the...

    GOTM #12 *Spoilers* Thread

    Lost to Space Race! Sucks! Started off by doing the Chinese and Indians. In hind-sight I would of forgotten the Impi and the early GA they caused. Impi's are worthless. I used this game to play with Cannon/Artillery, which I had not done much of before. Mistakes were made on that...

    GOTM #10 *Spoilers* Thread

    Update: So I hurt the Americans enough so that they would leave me alone for awhile. I researched and built factories and coal plants in all my cities. I stayed one tech ahead of everyone and sold it immediately to everyone. I was headed straight to Motorized Transportation. I used a...

    GOTM #10 *Spoilers* Thread

    In my game the Americans are very aggressive. I've already had two wars with them. I reduced the Aztecs to rubble using my mighty army of arrogant Musketeers. Great rendition of the snotty French laugh. I got the GA with my first Musketeer victory and used the period to build a huge army of...

    GOTM #8 *Spoilers* Thread

    My first post: I dealt with barbarians by spending my money, evacuating the cities and letting them beat their heads against nothing. Looked like mass suicide. Very satisfying. I stayed peaceful and built culture and knowledge beelining to motorized transportation (Panzers). I had a...
