I tend to keep two archers and 1 spearman in early days. I then go to Two longbowman and 1 Pikeman. I adjust as the game progresses and if I"m near an aggressive AI then I usually built a fort right outside of the city limits and stock it with a loaded up to date military unit that can...

When was the last update? I've been playing the same download for over a year now.

Someone please delete this. Wouldn't you know it, I figured it out ten minutes after posting this.

I've patched up to the latest (3.19) and upon unzipping "Rise of Mankind" file into the BTS/MOD folder I get the following message and it doesn't complete. Extracting to "C:\Program Files (x86)\2K Games\Beyond the Sword\Mods\" Use Path: yes Overlay Files: no Extracting Rise of...

I've started/closed/restarted Steam five times and the automatic download isn't working. I've checked my settings....I'm setup to auto-download any updates. I just purchased the DLC as well and those started right up, downloaded and installed no problem. Still.....no patch update.

Ugh.....my computer runs Windows 7.

I've been playing for a month or so without any problems with the DX11 option. Recently when I go to load the game the DirectX11 section is shaded out, not allowing me to play saying something about Service Pack 2? Has Steam automatically configured my settings to somehow mess up how I play...

I have two hard drives apparently, one for 64bit programs and one for 32bit programs. I've got Civ5 installed on the 32bit drive by accident (OS(C:)X86 58.5GB)......if I moved the files over to my default hard drive (Local Disk D: 527GB) would it speed up the game tremendously?

Steam won't allow me to play Directx9 at startup anymore, for some reason. It gives me the option........when I click DirectX9 nothing happens. When I pick 10/11 everything comes up fine, although the game is a little slow. You'd think having purchased a super laptop a week before the...

Bought the game through Steam......haven't had any issues until today. I load the game....select which version of DirectX I want to proceed with, and then nothing happens. Game doesn't start, video doesn't start.......nothing. Must have something to do with the new patch that steam is...

I bought a new computer a few weeks ago. 600 RAM Intel i5 Processor Game still runs slowish.

Usa! Usa! Usa! :)

I keep getting a crash when I go to the Mod/Search/Download screen. Not sure why? Intel i5 + M450 (2.40GHZ) 600 GB Ram

Well folks, we finally made. Civ 5 is now at our fingertips and these forums will be rocking for years to come with stories of great honor from all over the world. Since the announcement of Civ5 came out, I made a decision to avoid any pre-release discussion/news/strategy/etc. It's been a...

Just purchased a new laptop yesterday.......and I'm ready for the release. Tested it out with Civ IV..........18 Civ (Earth-Huge) Scenario. It runs as fast in 1800 so far as it did on the first turn. I'm ready to go!
