1 - My first attraction to CIV1 were the words "The hardest level could only be beaten by a game designer or "Sid". 2 - Unlike the mathematicians who work out exactly what they are going to do before they even start playing (fair play to them), and knowing exactly what they are going to do when...

I know where you are coming from, never fixed this and never will be!!. Heck, it was, and never would have been a problem but for the fact that we have to take every steam updated version on board. I don't understand computing and never will, I just play games that I enjoy. WHEN THEY FINALLY...

In the vanilla version, if you researched archery immediately, then a high percentage of barb camps would be occupied by archers and this was a tactic used by some of the top players when going for quick domination victories. So does this not apply when playing BNW? I agree, but playing low...

In response to your title the answer is definitely yes! Have you tried quick speed, standard size, Deity, domination on a Pangea map? I would think some people are capable of achieving this, but very few! There are other ways of making this more difficult such as map types with difficult...

Did I write this! Seriously though, the HOF rules keep our propensity to take a risk, then when all goes wrong, to then reload in check, which in my case has been a good thing. Simple things like your first trireme, wanting to take the fourth move into the fog, well I don't risk it on the HOF...

If this City is closely connected to others maybe you could free up some food tiles by unassigning worked areas then reassigning them to your non food City.

You could purchase a tile or two.

If you are playing the Vanilla version, then any finish around the 1800 - 1900s ADs is excellent. G&K around 1600s for a good finish. BNW however the best players are now attaining BC finishes even on immortal, I don't play it myself but I gather they are able to conquer and expand for...

The variation of map types is part of the reason why Civ5 is such a good game, I would say that they all have something to offer by means of a different challenge. There is one type of map that I do not like and that is the Highlands map, it is a logistical nightmare especially when playing...

This would seem like the only possible solution. To the OP, try checking out the game notes they may give you an indication of what happened. EDIT - Ah! I don't play BNW, maybe Browd has the answer!

I take it from what you have said that you are playing the Vanilla version. Most of what you are doing points to an eventual science victory. If you want to gain a cultural victory here are a few suggestions of changes you should make. 1 - Get temples as quickly as possible and assign to...

Your welcome. Don't forget to revert back to normal when your happiness returns!

I was the first to find Eldorado at Marathon speed and the reward was 250 gold, I am pretty sure that last time I found it at quick speed the reward was 320 gold. This makes no sense whatsoever, is this another malfunction that has appeared in the Vanilla game in recent times? I am not...

This guy has asked a question and has been given numerous responses and yet to respond!! Maybe he is a very hard working and busy chap and will look into the responses when he has time on his hands!! Depending on what level he is playing at and what speed he is playing, there is always the...

I agree with you on the whole, but I have stated that some CSs ask for a barb camp to be removed that is many hexes away from their position on the map.. EDIT- The whole point of this post is to emphasize becoming allied to the first City State and what a difference it might make.
