    Should be called Civ V Crashes & Inconsistencies

    Same here. Closest thing to a crash I had was when I turned off the power strip my computer is plugged into with my foot by accident :mischief:

    Advanced Map Options, what do they do?

    World Age: How weathered the terrain is, ie: how tall mountains are. Temperature: Hotter leads to more desert/ jungles and less ice caps, colder leads to arid landscape and bigger ice caps. Rainfall: How fertile the Earth is. Sea level: Effects how much land there is. I think this is...

    Border Growth... where to?

    I think the magenta hexes are hexes of interest such as resources. The game probably grabs one at random when borders expand. I haven't seen a way to control it, but you could always just buy the hexes you really want.

    Hail Jon Shafer

    I'm in 100% agreement with Lemmy. The game is wonderful. I think all the hostility is honestly coming from the game not being Civ IV. I know it's been said and shrugged off as a joke, but I honestly feel that it's true. I played quite a bit of CivII and III and enjoyed both of them a lot. I got...

    Is the world too big?

    Isn't the world supposed to be large? Every inch of the Earth today isn't flooded with people, so why should it be that way in CiV?

    So what's up with the super ugly rivers?

    The rivers are ugly. You know it, I know it, my grandmother knows it, and I'm sure Firaxis knows it. I'm sure they'll be patched later.

    The Civ5 Conundrum

    Those same archers are only dealing 1 damage per turn to the city, which it heals on the next turn.

    Do the land units in Civ V "swim"

    I love this feature. I do wish that there were still transport ships though. They could have held more than one unit and avoid the embark/disembark turn penalty. Not really a huge deal there though.

    Unit Upgrade cost Broken?

    Don't you think the gold you spend to either make the military units or maintain them will make it about and equal cost?

    Allied City States and Benefits?

    In the later parts of the game, the units are sometimes a good help. I've gotten Infantry and Tanks from them before.

    Disappearing Aircraft?

    Hello all, I was playing last night and something odd seemed to be happening. I was at war with the Aztecs and I created some bombers/stealth aircraft to help with city raids. Once the war was over, I used the "Sleep" command on them so I would have to tell them to "Do Nothing" every turn. A...

    City-states allies & war

    This got me thinking...Can an enemy "flip" a city state while you're at war? What I mean is, is the city state only allies with the Civ it likes the most? If that's true, an opponent could throw some money at the city state to get it to ally. I've only played one game so far, so I'm not 100%...

    Is this game worth buying?

    Yes, I'd get it if I were you. I'm certainly not regretting it. As with any game, if it seems to be getting boring or easy, just up the difficulty.

    City-states allies & war

    I think the options are to make it a puppet city, annex it, or gift it back to the Civ that used to control it if it had been taken over previously. If I remember correctly, after you annex it, you can raze the city. A liberation option would be pretty neat, but I think that would mess with the...

    Civ V: How to rush build?

    Click on the city, click Purchase in the lower left, click the Unit/Building you want. You can't buy Wonders.
