    Crashes, Crashes and More Crashes

    I solved my crashes by bypassing the launcher. Since then I have had one turn that wouldn't end though.

    Crashes, Crashes and More Crashes

    I quit my current game, as the further I got into it the more crashes and freezes I was experiencing. I can say it is now unplayable without any hyperbole at all. I am on Windows 10, without any mods.

    Is Everyone Having As Much Fun With Preserves As I Am?

    In my current game I am playing as the Incas. I took Earth Goddess as a pantheon and built preserves around mountain ranges, which are always breathtaking. That makes mountain tiles well worth working, when they are otherwise fairly lackluster.

    [NFP] Minor pet peeves and annoyances you wish the developers would fix

    When going to buy a unit or building in a city, if you can't afford the item, the cost is dark red on a dark blue background. I find it impossible to read. That's minor and annoying.

    [GS] All My Spies fled the same empire every few turns?

    I'm getting this bug too from yesterday and a couple of other spy related bugs. I ran the policy card that lets me choose from any promotion. Long after I stopped using it, I am still choosing any promotion. I have the Bodyguard of Lies dedication but I am not getting the buff in which spies...

    [GS] GS impressions/random observations thread.

    The same thing will happen if you are suzerain of the city state that gives you +2 of any resource you have revealed but do not own.

    [GS] Eleanor of Aquitaine Discussion Thread

    That’s true. When I played Eleanor I tended to focus on the bordering cigs with Dark Ages as part of my strategy.

    So they still haven't fixed the AI with regard to war.

    Huey Teocali buffs every lake tile in your empire, so building it in that circumstance can make sense if there are lakes elsewhere.

    Malware alert

    Could it be related to this pop up I have had on this site multiple times over the last couple of days? I only see it on this site. I am using Safari on an iPad.

    [GS] Firaxis, thank you for Eleanor

    I flipped a whole standard Pangea map. Every last city. Sadly I had already won a culture victory. However, if that was switched off l would have won a dom victory. I don’t really know why I chose to do that.

    [GS] Diplomatic Victory Strategies

    With disaster intensity set to 4, I managed to win in the Modern Era with only one vote for diplomatic points. The high frequency of emergencies did the trick.

    [GS] Court of love

    Says the Wiki: Each Great Work in her cities causes foreign cities within 9 tiles to lose 1 Loyalty per turn. Any foreign city that leaves its civilization due to loss of Loyalty and is receiving the most Loyalty pressure from Eleanor instantly joins her empire, instead of becoming a Free City...

    [GS] Court of love

    My understanding is that any city that flips while subjected to loyalty pressure from COL will flip to Eleanor. She does not need to have the highest loyalty influence. If that is correct, then you can move Amani around the map to city states within striking distance of cities that are about to...

    [GS] Diplomatic Victory Strategies

    I managed to pull of a DV on my second GS game playing as Freleanor. I wasn’t pursuing any particular victory and just messing about with city flipping. Disaster rates were set to four and aid emergencies were frequent enough that I managed to win by turn 298. I wasn’t expecting the victory as I...
