1) Depends on if I need food or production. 2) I always leave the jungle, because the 2 beakers is awesome. 3) I usually farm it. 4) I won't do anything to not fresh water desert, except if I have Petra, otherwise it's just not worth working. 5) I usually farm plains. If I'm going for a diplo...

I also think that's just another bad written description. Just like they wrote that the ducal stable only gave +1 production to horses, sheep and cow that have a pasture on it, although it turns out it works for all. Also it would make Poland waaayy to overpowered combined with their UA.

Congrats Browd!

I don't think there will be another expansion pack, but I hope they will make an Alpha Centauri remake with the civ 5 game engine, similar to what they did with Civilization 4: Colonization.

Great read! I'm looking forward to reading how the rest of the game goes.

I would love a cold war scenario, where all countries except the SU and the USA are city states, because all the victory conditions make sense for that scenario. You could win by winning the space race (science victory), win a diplo victory by allying all the city states, win by influencing your...

I think bringing back a civilization after it has been destroyed is just as high valued as a DoF (maybe even higher). DoF is +15 I think. Faded means they are less important, really faded green for example can mean +3 and faded red something like -3. Grey or white means it doesn't matter, like...

I started from your save file and am now playing it. A few general comments on your strategy: Turn 427 and you still haven't finished the national college? You should really try to build the national college asap. Why did you trade to go to war with Ethiopia? You are going for a diplo win and he...

Because if you buy a settler you don't lose out on growth. At least, that's why I rather buy a settler than build it if I have the money.

Even more with religious community in a city with 15 followers. Than you have +100% production when building wonders.

Wait, the AI does have personalities in civ 5 right. Like Montezuma is a warmongerer and far mor likely to attack you than say Gandhi.

You mean 3.14Ghz right? As for your problems with civ 5, I agree with problem 1 and 2, ai sucks at combat and late-game load time is annoying. However, i think that load time is a needed sacrifices to make such an awesome and complex game and I can deal with the ai being bad with combat. In...

Well investigated! Thanks for the info, very interesting.
