    Immortal/Deity - Can't progress, despite a ton of research

    I sympathize. CIV5 is an amazing game as it can be played so many different ways. I have read most of the above. IMHO my advice is take advantage of the ai's weakness's 1. The ai is weak at battle , you should be able to beat an army roughly twice your size with similar teched troops. If...

    Help with xml file mod please.

    Thank you Officer Reene, that worked well. I added it to a starting tech that all factions had. The farm entry had had <TechYieldChanges> disabled in the xml file.

    Wrong shield formula in conquests with mobilization

    Thanks, I see the discussion, disappointing really , IMHO in mobilization the trade off is building only military units or NOT being able to build non-military buildings/wonders, it would seem that it should be simple to fix but apparently not. BTW playing 1.15

    Industrial Age Slingshot to Victory - How many of you use it?

    As a newbie just over his first emperor victory, I use the same strat... Similar strat when starting to shoot for monarchy first and just trade for the other techs. Being able to research techs the ai isn't seems a key strat.
