FIXED!!! Got a reply from Steam support with a few things to try and one of them has worked as Civ will now launch! Oddly the steam client service is still not started and will not start but Civ now doesn't seem to mind. Oh well long as I can play I'm happy.

Yeah my account has admin rights I'm running UAC at default. When it first tries to install the service it asks for admin rights. I have tried running the service as a newly created admin rights user but get same message. Tried running the service with UAC turned off but get same error starting...

Hi, finally got a new PC and Civ 5 but am getting this issue with Steam. When I try and launch Civ 5 it says I need to install a service for this game (other games work) it then says I need to restart steam which I do, try and launch Civ 5 and same thing happens again. I have checked the...

Exactly I won a suicide catapult attack the other day with a 0.06% chance of winning! AI must have cursuing the RNG gods.

My mistake. Sorry about that. I was going by an always war game I played and I never saw any war weariness, however it was quite a short game. Oops.

Short answer is no. The hammers from the whip will be applied to the swordsman. If you then put something else at the front of the production queue that will only get your normal production hammers (plus chop hammers in Warlords). When you next build a swordsman it will build in one turn as it...

You assume right there is no war weariness when always war is selected.

If you rearly want Civ on the the move you can get it on your mobile Not sure if you want to though looks a bit out-dated to say the least. Civ Mobile @ Gamespot

Does seem a bit silly to display the leadership abilities of yourself or someone you have beaten.

Someone has can't remember where the thread is but here is the file. Thank You Gherald for the updated file.

Chopped hammers are still different from base hammers. What I was trying to say was that in Warlords the chopped hammers are now applied to the build at the end of the turn (like base hammers) and the bonus is applied then. In vanilla Civ 4 the chopped hammers were applied at the time of...

Check out this screen shot and you can see the chop hammers and base production hammers listed and then the bonus applied. This is new to Warlords in previous versions chopped hammers had bonus applied and went straight to the bottom line. Hope this helps.

Thinking about it this will also stop the building while in anarchy trick (as seen in the marathon diety strat a while back) as chopping adds to base hammers and these will not be added to the build until the end a of a non-anarchy turn. (I assume, I have not tried this).

I haven't noticed any more barbs in Warlords but I've only played a few games (all at Monarch level). I have noticed that they seem less aggressive and sometimes wander off instead of attacking.

I noticed this to when chopping the Pyramids with stone hooked up but when I checked the build info I noticed that. The way hammers from tree chopping are added to builds has been changed in Warlords. Instead of them going straight to the build when they are chopped (ie mid-turn) the hammers are...
