It also depends on the location you set in your Steam preferences I think. Try changing your location, head into multiplayer, and see if you get more peoples.

So you would rather that AI never declare war? That they just pursue culture/science/diplo victories and leave you alone? If you are winning, or close to it, I kind of don't blame them for ganging up on you and taking you down some notches. I'd do the same thing in a game against a bigger...

It's not just Firaxis, unfortunately. It's mostly 2k as well. In order for a game to be considered shippable (released) the game needs to pass through the publisher's (2k) testing system, which analyzes the game and kicks it back to the developers if it needs more work done. A publisher...

I feel that the system definitely needs revision... especially with regards to human players. At least if a Civ is friendly with you and not so friendly with the Civ you slay, there should not be a hit to diplomacy for slaying a fellow enemy Civ. Another thing I found odd was that you can't...

I feel that Civ 5 does not lack depth completely (otherwise we would get a blank screen on startup) but I feel a lot of the decision-making has been more "simplified." I do not feel this is a bad thing. Civ 4 takes a lot of knowledge and patience to fully unravel the impacts each of your...

I have had this issue happen too, playing with my friend on LAN. It doesn't quite happen every 10-15 turns, but it does come up at least a few times every game. It makes me sad, as there is no reason for all these issues with multiplayer in Civ 5 besides the idea multiplayer was not focused on...

I agree with OP as far as Diplo being much more preferable at this point in time over Science victory. Right now, with all the issues the game has mid-late game, why would you want to drag out the pain further? Especially if in order to even get a Science victory you have to go through the...

Personally I think the patch did help make the game go a bit faster as far as ending turns. The problems I consistently run into are the late game crashes/lag (especially after saving/loading a MP game). They started happening to me before turn 100 before the mid-december small patch, but now...

I usually go for science and culture wins, so I've never really tried to do anything diplomatic before the patch update, aside from research agreements. I can sign pacts of friendship with them, and they'll actually stay friends with me for the most part, unless I attack or annoy one of their...

Amidst all the blessings of the new patch, I would hate to be one of the first to gripe :P but I seem to have a repeatable issue with multiplayer games that I am wondering if anyone else has experienced since the patch. Granted, so far I have played on large/huge map sizes, and am about to test...

He also said Oblivion sold in pretty good state. It still is a really buggy game today, even with the unofficial patch. /discredited I actually enjoy Civ 5 in its own, unique way of doing things. However, the major issue I see with it is the lag issue. On any computer it gets...

Had a question regarding saving/loading in Civ 5. I have this problem when loading a saved multiplayer game with my friend where I will load it (in LAN), have them join the game and launch it fine, but when the game is fully loaded, we get dropped from each other's games (like it'll show I...
