    Multiplayer ruined Civ 5 for me...

    In the options menu you can set the frequency of autosaves. When me and a friend play it saves every turns and keeps 10 autosaves. I can't understand wanting to connect with an I.P. address? All I do is invite my friend via Steam which I find to be the easiest method but to each his own. As...

    Roads

    Use workers to remove roads. Roman Legions can also build and remove roads as well as forts.

    Best Tech up Strategy

    The reason to not do both is that you are wasting a massive amount of gold for absolutely little benefit. I will put down a Trading Post on anything that isn't a resource tile or a river tile, in which case I'll put down a farm (Civil Service gives +1 to farms on river tiles). The gold that...

    Best Tech up Strategy

    Don't build a granary, waste of time. Don't build anything that increases food, the maintenance cost makes it unworthwile. Instead, make allies with as many Maritime City States as you can find, you can be making as much as +5 food in your capital and +3 in all your cities in later eras per...

    Wonders - the good, the bad and the ugly

    The Oracle is a must have if you are planning a Culture victory. Not only is it a free Social Policy, it's a Social Policy that doesn't increase the count. It's saving you nearly 3000 culture off the last Social Policy you need before you can build the Utopia Project. Also, The Great Library...

    Stopping Automated Workers from Replacing Tiles

    I was just looking through the UserSettings.ini file in “My Documents\My Games\Sid Meiers Civilization 5\” to stop the introduction movie from playing (for which there is an option for) and noticed this little tidbit: "AutoWorkersDontReplace = 0" It's not as pretty as a button on the UI...

    how is the ai building wonders before me?

    When you have marble near your city and you take the time to research and build a Quarry you get a bonus of 25% to Wonder Production. If you hover over the Production number in the city screen it breaks it down to which bonuses you are receiving. As for what happens when a A.I. beats you to a...

    Multiplayer problem - starting next to human players

    You have the opposite problem to me and my friend. We often team up but we never start together!

    Why Steam is bad for you

    Someone with less PC knowledge wouldn't be uninstalling Steam, nor would they care in all fairness! And besides, people with less PC knowledge go and get their friends with PC knowledge! You can blame Steam, and in this case it was at fault, however, it could have been another issue and we'd...

    Need some starting tips...

    These are my starting tactics for either Prince or King level. The starting location for your city is important; most of the time you can found your city immedietaly. However, have a quick look around. If you find a river, and it has Plains, Hills along it, you are golden! Along with some...

    Does a Workshop provide a bonus to Wonders?

    Good to know, the only reason I asked in the first place is because there are separate lists for 'Buildings' and 'Wonders'.

    Does a Workshop provide a bonus to Wonders?

    It says it gives 20% production bonus to buildings at a cost of 2 maintenance, but does this also apply to Wonders?

    Building Courthouses

    I always burn cities to the ground because I prefer to carefully choose the locations of any extra cities I want!

    Aid in understading mechanics.

    Only build roads and railroads to connect your cities to your capital, there is no reason to build roads on resource tiles! You want the extra gold generated from trade routes. I always try and build the Angor Wat because it reduces the culture required to expand by 75% per tile, so in most...

    Moving units together?

    As far as I can tell, it's just manual movement. So start with the settler, worker or general, and move the military afterwards.
