    Can't Control Unit Status

    The other players can't set their artillery to heroic either. I'm having trouble setting other units to heroic as well. It's going to be a major problem if this persists throughout the battle.

    Can't Control Unit Status

    I'm trying to set two stacks of artillery to heroic and it's not happening. Not certain what's wrong with it. I can easily set every other unit's status, but these two aren't working. One will set for a few seconds, then switch back. The other won't set at all. Neither play is interfering...

    Tech mazes are overpowered

    And they've nerfed it again. Don't get me wrong, I can do these mazes again and again and again, but it's pretty tedious to say the least.

    Are nukes underpowered?

    Are the nukes underpowered? You gotta be kidding me! I was just watching a Persian carpet of doom pour through one of the wider mountain passes towards one of my most important cities. I'd just gotten my first nuclear missile, so I figured that it might just do the trick. That way I could...

    Civ5: Colonization? And what would you suggest?

    This game's not enough fun if you're just going for the easy win. It's not a hard game to beat if all you care about is taking advantage of the structure of the game and finishing quickly. Playing this game more sloppily in the earlier part of the game both makes that section more fun, and it...

    Cyrus McCormick Is The Devil

    I'm pretty certain that the population outside a city counts towards your revolutionary fervor. Individual cities are based on their specific population, but your country as a whole is based off liberty bells / colonists (inside and outside of cities). That's why you don't notice any...

    Cyrus McCormick Is The Devil

    He turns this game into a micromanaging nightmare. He's an incredibly useful FF - allows you to completely focus almost your entire population on industrializing and getting ready for your revolution. But he comes up right about the time you can't afford to have any more population increases...

    New to Colonization, but an experienced Civ IV player. and I need help...

    When you first drop off your two units and found your first city, have your ship look very quickly to scout out the immediate area (1, maybe 2 moves). Get it back to Europe just in time to pick up your first immigrants, and if you're lucky and get the chance to pick up a scout - do so...
