I agree with all! I really am bored and depressed with this game already. I also hate that there are no real ICBM's, nuclear missiles only have a range of 8? What crap! I miss real ICBM's from Civ4!

I just got a space race victory with China, and wow, I feel as much accomplishment as I do when my wife makes me clean the bathrooms... Here are the reasons it sucks: 1) I don't get to see the parts added to the space ship. 2) I don't have to wait X amount of turns until it takes off, leaving...

I use a great artist of GA unless I can use him to steal a resource froma neighboring Civ I don't like or a city state.

Thats true, I did that as china in one of my games, but as I decided to build military I lost gpt and couldn't afford to pay off the city state... Therefore I lost resources and happiness :( I'm just complaining that there isnt more ways to make city states happy, maybe give them 5 iron per turn...

Keeping a city state as an ally is too difficult and expensive. You pay 1000 gold constantly to keep them happy if there are no quests available. The stupid "destroy city state x" mission is annoying to because you have to puppet or annex the crap city state... why can't I just raze it???

Raze and move on.

I think defenders should be entrenchment bonus for every turn they are fortified until about +33% bonus. Maybe 10% per turn? I think the default -33% defending on open terrain is fair if the unit just arrived in that tile and then gets attacked. That simulates an ambush or otherwise getting...

China, great generals, chu-nu-ko, and paper makers. Hands down.

I have been giving this game a chance before I posted a negative thread about it. I was very excited about Civ5 being released, as I enjoyed both Civ3 & Civ4 prior to this. I'm nearing the end of a game and its' about 1980AD. For the past 100 years or so, the turns and load times have been...

Yeah I'm pretty pissed about this. I truly loved the Civ4 end replay and watching my civ's color take over the world, with that calming epic music in the background. Why take this out? I'd rather end replay than horsehockey intro movie..

You're right I'm just getting confused.

I'm getting frustrated at how slow turns go later in the game and how the likelihood of crashing goes up with each turn. I like the game other than that.

Anyone else sad at the demise of the Axemen? It Civ3 and Civ4 it was glorious when you finally got bronze working and started making Axemen to chop down barbs and rival civs. I miss my little sadomasochistic looking axemen wearing their weird little fetish outfits and their over-sized axes...

In previous versions of Civ it was nearly impossible to get the AI to give up cities during a peace negotiation. Now in my current game I was invaded by greece, he took two of my cities cuz my military sucked. I quickly built some swordsmen and horsemen, took my cities back and then razed one...

Espionage still sucks, it's better in the Total Realism mod.
