I totally agree it is human nature to backstab for your own bennefit, it just seemed so arbitary before, but I agree it's no small feat to program AI even moderately capable in a game like Civ so hats off to Firaxis.

Thanks for your reply ShahJahanII, that's what I was hoping, having read all the patch notes I was hoping things would be better! I am playing a game on Prince and seem to be sluightly teching ahead of the AI, so it looks as though I'm not too rusty! thanks again

You are just unnecessarily rude. Why so many tweaks to the economy if it was balanced to begin with?

Thanks for your reply, just for the record I'm a long time Civ vet, I don't do 2 hour games!! I think my happiness issues were due to my desire for larger empires at the expense of my enimies' lands! I'm sure I'll adjust just fine to Civ 5

So I gave up on the game shortly after release, partly because my laptop was under powered but mainly because, let's face it, the game wasn't finished. I have a few questions for the community regarding the state of the game now after all the patches as I have a new laptop so am going to fire...

Just thought I'd see what others' experiences were relating to this - before the patch I didn't see one AI air unit?? I can't load my save after the patch due to having the deluxe edition (not sure if this is fixed yet?) and refuse to start a new game until they fix it so not sure if its been...

Thanks for the link thats something i suppose - ahh well guess I'll start a new game. Thanks

Since the patch - every time I try and load my saved game from before the patch it crashes. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it I was in the middle of an epic game and really want finish it!

Ok so I like CIV but it has its problems. One of which is managing your army in peace time, I know you can put them all on alert but it's messy, your units litter the map and it just looks bad imo. I think I will try modding in a garrison. Essentially this improvemnt can be built by a...

omg this is taking forever the decrypt is painfully slow! 27% Common!

The game wont work on integrated Intel chips unless it's an i3 You need to buy a new graphics card, but if it's a laptop there's nothing you can do. If you list your complete specs we can prob help

Thanks for your help but the exe file wasn't in compatability mode so no joy. Oh well hopefully there wont be this problem with the full game so I can wait until Friday. :)

Ok so I have the Demo (In uk :() But it only gives me the option to launch in DX9 even though I have a Dx10 card. At first the DX10 option said I needed service pack 2 (vista) which I have now installed) But now the DX10 option still isn't available and says update required, I can't see...

Hi Guys I'm playin the most awesome game I've had in a while and am enjoying it so much I thought I'd write it up :) This is the first time I've done this so If you guys like it I'll finish it... Let me know what you think! The English empire used to be conquerors. Attacking close by...

Whilst I agree with what you say the example you give is flawed. Although the Spartans fought heroically and held off the Persian hordes for several days, they were eventually defeated at the battle of thermopolaye. A more saliant example would be the British victory at rorke's drift where less...
