RAAARRRGHHH.... I have a rant on page 87. But that was a long time ago, and the pain had faded since then. So recently I found myself thinking I could have a little fun just reinstalling Civ V and idly getting achievements for Civ V. I settled down to play a Huge, Continents map, on King...

Ok... first post in a long time, and it's going to be a Ranty one! Civilization V eh? Where did I leave the Civ series, after following it all the way from Civ 1 on the Amiga, back when I should have been focusing on my studies at University, instead of "just one more turn-ing" until the...

Text bolded for hypocritical intolerance and prejudice. Hey... people who do X are ill educated! Now watch me do X, but it's ok, because I'm against Y who I say do X! But Jeebus almighty, not ANOTHER pointless Global Warming thread; I'm sorry that the world is evolving so far away from the...

Monarch game, Hemisphere, and it turns out that the random map roll has give 3 huge continents, with 2/3/2 on... And it looks like I'm on course for my first ever monarch win, as I get an incredible start; I begin a Praetorian rush, and after the second pops out, I get the Swordsman Quest, which...

Sadly you can't turn it off for your AI colonies... treacherous curs that they be.

Added frustration comes from the fact that returning the city gifts the other AI the extra two units as well; fortunately Mao had been such a devil to all the other Civs that I got a diplomatic and "Joint Military Struggle" bonus for keep attacking him, which kept them off my back whilst I snuck...

So the constant nagging from cities recently conquered or built to join another civilization was supposedly fixed; Not quite true, as I've seen it appear once or twice during 2 games since the patch. But during my most recent game I've come across an enfuriating variation of it. Your Colonies...

Well, I think I can beat the record for most ridiculous request; Just loaded a previous game I was playing (just to see how it ended) under the latest patch, and Mansa Musa, who is leading the game, on his way I think to a Space Race victory, and apparently is pleased with me, but not pleased...

So you can't build or upgrade Destroyers either until Fission is discovered...? Hnnnngh. Poison... Poison... Poison... Poison... Poison... No Coal... Poison... Poison... after my second full game through after BtS arrived, I can't say the base game is proving much fun at all.

Just an update; the one Play.com delivered to me this morning, in the United Kingdom, with English Language packaging had all of these bugs too... and wouldn't download the later patch from inside the game either, as it couldn't find them. But patching up to 3.03 manually fixes it, so hurrah.

I've just installed Beyond The Sword, with Civ IV and Warlords already installed, and I got the same problem. I'm just patching up to 3.03 (which Beyond didn't see from inside the game either) to see if that solves it...

"Also, about backing mine up: YOU FIRST!!!, wikipedia is not valid to me!" You could of course have just clicked on the links Wikipedia gave you and then applied your value judgements to the original sources... You know, applied ACADEMIC standards of debate to the issue. Instead, what we...

Few quick responses; firstly apologies if someone has already suggested something similar... I registered a few years ago for Civ III, then instantly forgot all about the board entirely; and didn't start reading it, let alone posting until Civ IV until recently. Secondly, I posted way too late...

Hi all, I see the next expansion pack is already on the way, but an idea occured to me whilst playing "Warlords", so I thought I would sketch it out here in the hopes that something similar may come to us in a later patch or expansion. And this is it; As well as the Demographics graphs, and...

Just recently, I've been trying some 18 Civ Pangea maps on Prince, because I wanted to experience a game where diplomacy and cunning leads to victory, rather than just out-teching or out-producing my opponents. Wise alliances! Sudden stabs in the back! Religious Wars! All that kind of thing. I...
