Hope I'm putting this in the right place. I'm using EUI with the Community Patch (v88) and I'm only getting the Rhiannon bonuses in my Capital city, not in my newly-settled cities. They have the same pantheon, but don't generate the extra gold et al that I expect. What's really weird is I...

If you're using mods, the save game will be in Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 5/MODDEDSAVES/single (Modded saves won't be capitalized - just wanted to emphasize that slight difference).

...and the re-install worked! At least, I can play in DX9 - haven't tried DX10/11 yet. Thanks again!

Thanks, Callan. I just did a re-install, but...what the heck...one more can't hurt ;)

Hi! I've been playing now for over a year (almost 1000 hours), but took a break to play Skyrim. When I came back to Civ, I got consistent "APPCRASH" messages when trying to run the Direct X 10/11 (never loaded) but I could play in Direct X 9. Tonight, I try to play in Direct X 9, and I get...

Thanks all for the direction! Much appreciated. Not what I was looking for, but at least I have an answer...:cry:

Every so often during a game, a report will pop up listing the military strength of everyone in the game. Is it possible to see this information "on demand"?

I'm autosaving every 5 turns. Fairly new machine, too. Ah, well...

Thal, First off, thanks for the great mod. Playing is much better with your mod than without. Unfortunately...I find that the time between turns, when the AI is moving, becomes increasingly long. By about 1500AD (on King level, Standard Map, 8 civ/18 CS) it takes over a minute to process...

Sneaks, Good on you! That's a terrific set of updates (not to mention incredibly ambitious;)). I'm looking forward to it.

Playing a game last night, I noticed that Russia and Germany DoF'd, beat up on China, then Russia attacked Germany while they were still friends. Interestingly, when I looked at the Global Politics section of the Diplomacy Overview window, it listed (under Russia) - BACKSTABBED Germany (Caps...

I've played Civ since v1, and I'm liking V better than the predecessors. My main issue with IV (which I found unplayable until BTS) was the late-game micro; too many units in too many places to keep track of. But then, I can usually only get 1-2 hour sessions going, so I need the game to move...

I'm glad I bought it, and would buy it again. I found that, in Civ 4, I enjoyed the early game most; by the time I got to around 1500, having to move 45 units (or combinations thereof) to different points on the map was just beyond me. Having a combat system that supports smaller armies makes...

Hashi, Are you building something that needs iron (swordsman, catapult)? The game will assign the resource when you begin building, not when you finish building.

I've tried playing with delayed SPs and immediate SPs, and I like the immediate ones better. Here's why: 1) More immersive - as one poster said earlier, it's more historically relevant for policies to unfold as your nation grows. 2) More straightforward - Sort of like reading a book, I...
