Possibly an FAQ, in which case flame away, but will Civ V have an Earth Map mode and if so what size of actual body of water will I be able to fire my arrows over? English Channel? Gulf of Mexico? Thanks!

Oh yeah, certain border towns or ones founded just after meeting particular civs will be named "KillAztecs". I politely explain to their ambassadors that it means something entirely innocuous in our native language....

One of my friends would name his cities after ex-girlfriends. He never worried about starving his citizens.... I usually name mine alphabetically to keep a rough idea of which ones are older. I've used drug names, too: Amphetamine, Barbiturate, Cocaine.... Dictionary words I don't know are...

I'm quite the pacifist in real life, so my friends were a bit shocked back in our Civ I days when my advice for getting conquered cities under control was "starve the bastards into submission". :lol:

New HoF challenge: play as each of the leaders available on that list and win with a ranking equal to theirs in the list. :)

My newbie opinions: I'm trying to branch out and try new civs, so I've been thinking about who seems to do well and who frustrates me. Sitting Bull seems to be the favorite whipping boy of just about everyone. I'm a fan of America, especially Lincoln. The traits are good and when you get to...

I'll vote for this one, too. The CR Trebs aren't expected to live and have their replacements on the way protected by ocupation troops or somesuch.

It's a thing of beauty. My moments of super villain laughter during Civ are few, but that's one of 'em.

I give my archery defenders drill: they're more versatile when I send them out of the city to get barbs or to finish off wounded attackers. Or if I need to pull defenders from around the empire to resist an invasion. I normally start using CG on gunpowder defenders and replace all my...

I'm reading The Guns of August right now, so this sounds kinda like WWI. :) France and Germany both tried to bypass each other and head straight into the heartland.

This has happened to me ever since the first release of Civ4.:mad:

Check out the Beaufighter in action in Battler Britton by Garth Ennis. Fun stuff.
