You can still work almost all of those coastal tiles without settling directly on the coast. Also settling on the cost will not make, or break your ability to win before nukes. I don't see why the incredibly minute resource gains from settling directly on the coast could ever outweigh giving...

There are no possible advantages that can outweigh the fact that late game against a player that city being on the cost means that it is possibly always one turn away from being razed by nuke > ship invasion.

I wouldn't say it broke Civ. I would only say it broke Civ for those who enjoyed the challenge of the AI in emperor+ games in Civ 4. I played my first game in Civ 5 at immortal on release and found it to be incredibly easy to cheese down the AI with how OP ranged attacks are. I thought it to be...

Not to be mean or anything, but to write a fully functioning useful AI to play deity level players requires you to have the skill set of a deity level player's decision making skills. Which for the most part is done on the fly in reaction to things that are happening in the game. Supposing you...

This is by far the game i put the most hours into not including FFXI. I had to have atleast 2k hours in my cracked version. I'm not sure what caused me to dl it through steam, but it was the best however many dollers i spent on it in terms of fun/doller spent value I am over 1k hours in the...

Spying in V has nothing on IV not even remotely close your only 4 options are sit in a city to steal tech, defend against this, sit in a city state for no real point as gold is a better option, or sit as a diplomat to bribe congress votes. The opposite is true for religion. Religion in V along...

I only played my first civ 5 game on emp as that is the level of my civ 4 playing. I will not play anything less then immortal if civ 5 is any indication of BE's difficulty levels.

Wouldn't it be worth it because if you don't get it they will? I don't know because I don't do always war.

Nope, I will continue playing IV with my friends as we all find it much more enjoyable. I'm hoping that we will enjoy BE because it doesn't have to be at the same standards that IV was as its not actually a civ game. Just civ-like.:deadhorse:

The technology to let units get along like they do in 4 so they are willing to share a tile. This makes it not a massive hassle to move and attack things with the horrible pathing. It also doubles as making the AI not a complete joke offensivly as well. Lawl I got a single ranged unit in my...

This is all about preferences in style. Sure I like my women not to have edges. I also like the strait lines of 70-90 sports cars, boats and the rigid borders of state lines. I am a very mathematical person and find beauty in patterns. A beehive with the sloppy lines from civ V would upset me...

So $.005? Considering the game is like 1-2 months away and the highest interest on a bank account is 1.1% as far as I have been able to find since the market crashed in 08. Not much you can buy with half a penny so I would consider it free. Also I will preorder on steam when it's available as...

I have gotten several culture victories through 100% espionage economy after code of laws. I posted one on the forums a while back somewhere about my immortal one which messed up. I never intended to post it as I figured someone did it before me so I had to backfill the story of the early game...

I personally find expansion anger, and tech diffusion required to be enabled to even attempt to make the game fair for the NPCs. My first game I played passed chiefdom I had -21 happiness in my cities before I got bronzeworking, and I constantly had 7-12 cities over my "limit" before I got to...

I have two installs on my computer of Civ 4. I tried using C2C on both, however both CtD. My original install loads just fine, however it crashes as soon as I end my turn. I just downloaded and installed a second copy the game off of steam yesterday, and it worked yesterday for one game just...
