Possibly useful for people reading this thread. In the thread about the patch I have posted a side-by-side comparison of the current wonder benefits vs the new wonder benefits. You can find that post here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=13698483&postcount=54

There is a thread in the BE General Discussion forum that has the patch notes for anyone who finds the Civilization website unusable. http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=543774

Let me begin by saying that I enjoy Beyond Earth. So far I've put 112 hours into it. I think that there are definitely some improvements to be made, especially in balancing, as some things like Academy spam seem far overpowered currently, but I think the game will likely get fixed up in...

For those who want to compare the current effects of the wonders with the new effects of the wonders, I've gone ahead and looked them all up. Based off of this I'd make a guess that several of the wonders also get to keep the yields that they provided initially. For example, I posit that...

I'm mostly happy with the changes. The wonders look much better for the most part. I don't like the Applied Aesthetics change. I'm happy to see the trade route change. Also glad that canyons are not useless tiles anymore. It annoys me given how common they are on many of the map types. I...

I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on LAN game stability. I've heard that online multiplayer is still pretty unstable, but I haven't seen any threads about LAN games.

I just discovered the levitation last night and I've got to say its pretty awesome. In my opinion it makes the missile rovers a very viable option compared to rangers for later game Harmony.

Whoa! I didn't even know this was an option. I've always just used them as bargaining chips. I try to gain a few favours with everyone at the beginning and then cash them in later in the game when I need help with energy to fund a war or something.

I can confirm this is the case. I was actually just looking at the LUA code for Covert Ops earlier this evening. I tend to establish information before I do anything else in a city. It has a very very small chance of failure and lets you know if you are being counter-spied, which is...

Just watched this: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=499867 Its just a barbarian UU.

That intro movie thing really ought to be in the options menu itself. I plan to test out playing in strat view on a lowend PC this evening.

I stand corrected. I have been playing since Civ1, never knew about either of those. I still really doubt though that there are any kinds of cheats in Civ5.

Depends on how big your army is. I'm sure that if you kept a military garrison in a city in real life they would do what you ask, perhaps not well, but they would do it.

Remember that very optimized scalable engine we were promised?:lol:

You hover your mouse over a tile for 4 seconds. You can change the time to something less than 4 seconds in the options.
