Ah, it's the first one. Second one I have no idea.

Tall seems perfectly viable. And fairly necessary, in some games.

What a random bug. And what a nuisance.

I agree with that sentiment, as well. It would feel lackluster if Industry was brought down to the lowest common denominator instead of making the others more dynamic.

A statue of Boxxi, of course.

I realize the rules say you can only have one account. I have no idea what my other account was named back when I was on this site before, so I logged onto this one that I never used. If an admin can figure out via IP what my other account was called, feel free to kill one and tell me which to...

Off-topic, but they have significantly improved some of the AI problems with EU4. One of the best things about Paradox is that they never stop patching/adjusting their games. As far as EL goes, I missed that sale everyone is talking about. I am not willing to try it for more than 15 USD, so I...

I missed the poll. I started with multiple and I cannot overstate how much I prefer one unit per tile. It is likely I would have discontinued with the Civ series if they had not made that change. The tactical limitations were just too significant before. Stacks are best utilized in grand...

Others have explained the details thoroughly enough that I do not need to. Just adding my opinion that Purity is certainly not handicapped.

I do not think I have ever hit the cap - in Five or BE. Granted, I rarely go for a Domination win - but even when I do, I have yet to run into it. I forgot there was a limit, to be honest.

Greetings. I was an old member during Civ4, forgot my account name, then discovered I had an even earlier account registered. So, sort of new but not really. Enjoying BE. My favorite vanilla Civ launch since 3, I think.

It is actually pillaged. At first I thought there was some kind of revolt/riot mechanic with a newly annexed city or something, I don't know. I just scrolled by and noticed it smoking, and it has happened a couple times. I can't imagine how I could have just straight up not noticed a barb...

Is there anything that could cause an improvement to get randomly destroyed? Saw no barbs, no notice of barbs. Just a road suddenly destroyed and a notice that I lost a trade route.

Yes, things are going much much better now. I'm sitting quite well at 100 turns right now. (I played several games up to 100 turns to get the start down better.) What type of microing is the most important, besides swapping to production 1 turn before growth?

Okay, so it sounds like I am doing five major things incorrectly: slowing down pop growth at 6, settling on flatlands, building too many melee units, not getting libraries out fast enough, and using a Liberty start. And for those that asked, I am trying to get my starts good enough for King+. I...
