[CIV 5 Issues] - The complete list

NAVAL

Naval combat units should have zones of control (except subs). That would allow effective convoys of embarked units.

Ship-to-ship attacks are far too weak. It can take multiple turns to sink an enemy ship. Naval combat should be resolved quickly and decisively. This is also necessary to make effective convoys.

Embarked units should only deploy from cities with Harbors. It should take shields or gold to embark them, but once they have been outfitted, then they can work as they do now.

Oar and Sail was also the time when ships could engage in melee combat, boarding and even capturing enemy vessels.

AI should build more ships.
 
HORSE

Ancient mounted units (horsemen) should be reduced somewhat in strength and movement.

To compensate, and to encourage combined arms, give mounted units a bonus for attacking a unit already engaged by infantry.

Mounted units should be especially weak against walled cities.

AI should build more mounted units.
 
Multiplayer - After ending your turn and waiting for others you cant do anything. You should still be able to move units, modify towns untill everyone has ended turn.

Kindda makes sense.

Ship-to-ship attacks are far too weak. It can take multiple turns to sink an enemy ship. Naval combat should be resolved quickly and decisively. This is also necessary to make effective convoys.

I agree, is necessary to make effective defense against invasions too. The attacks are so weak that the only way you can prevent a unit from disembark is blockading the hexes with your own units.

Embarked units should only deploy from cities with Harbors. It should take shields or gold to embark them, but once they have been outfitted, then they can work as they do now.

Completely DON'T agree.

Since the beggining of navigations there's embark and disembark from shores, not only from harbors. Hell, harbors didn't even exist yet and there were already ships and armies embarking them.

Oar and Sail was also the time when ships could engage in melee combat, boarding and even capturing enemy vessels.

Agree 100%.

AI should build more ships.

A reported and confirmed bug of the AI that will be adressed in the next patch, me hopes.

Cheers.
 
HORSE

Ancient mounted units (horsemen) should be reduced somewhat in strength and movement.

I think that it's the opportunities to use their full strengh that has to be reduced. Horses should not fight in full strengh in any terrain but plains, period. Hills? Are you insane? Forests? Bad idea. Swamps? Just think about it for a second and you've got your answer.

I have no idea why horses fight so well in all terrains: to make a charge uphill was suicide in any era of mankind; to make a charge on swamps and forests is just physically impossible.

To compensate, and to encourage combined arms, give mounted units a bonus for attacking a unit already engaged by infantry.

There's already a bonus of 15% for "flanking" that any unit can gain, you just need another unit close to the enemy. The horses are specially good at gaining this bonus because of their high mobility, so I think this is already encouraged.

Mounted units should be especially weak against walled cities.

Not only "weak" but "prohibitively weak". This is what we need to make defensive buildings like walls something worth the production and time spent. Right now, it's worthless.

AI should build more mounted units.

True. Although the Civilizations that benefits most from mounted units already build a good portion of them (Alexander, the Songhai etc).

Cheers.

Most boatmaking has occurred in villages and other settlements, though certainly not all. By the time of oceanic travel, though, centralization of boatmaking was essential. And there should seemingly be a cost involved for initial deployment for transoceanic travel. It may not be worthwhile as a game mechanic though.
 
Didin't see this on the first post or find it at this thread. But for me at least it always shows different ending score at Hall of Fame and Ranking screens. Why is it this way?

From a game balance perspective, we really don't need anything that makes the already hugely overpowerful Harbor more necessary or stronger. It already gives you a trade route and the railroad bonus at a maintenance cost equal to three hexes of road. Let's not give it even more.

(To be honest, I think the railroad bonus needs to go overall. Between it being granted (undocumented) by the harbor (considered necessary to balance island empires) and it NOT being granted to the capital, I think we need some other mechanic for arbitrarily increasing hammers in cities other than railroad connections. But that's just me.)
 
Why is there no mention of fixing maritime city states? I believe it has been sufficiently proven by multiple users (e.g. Sulla) how broken the current mechanic of maritime citiy states makes the game.
Food becomes kind of irrlevant to your city - Gold is all that matters!!

There haven been a multiple of good suggestions how to do this already (e.g. Ahirman)
- % growth bonus (so the food output of each city matters again)
- total bonus for empire, spread among cities etc.

This ISN'T an official thread about what's gonna be corrected.

So there's no mention of anything being fixed here.
 
Two thing i didn't see in the list:
Video: When scrolling on huge map,some tiles don't display correctly (they're greyed during a short time)
Modding : (I can't believe there is no modding section in this thread) Nexus not working as intended
 
With the new patched released, can we cross anything off the list (with a goal of more and more crossed off for every new patch?)
 
It may be worth adding next to each issue raised - FIXED with patch x.x.x.x

I did something similar when I was developing my mod.
 
Since no one is updating this thread, it would be better to close it and start new with a title for patch x.x.x.x

Unless someone can volunteer to take this thread over.
 
I think a production bonus in the capital per city connected to capital by railroad could fix that issue:
PB=((5*NCC) + (5 - .5*NCC))

Any number of cities connected over five would lower the bonus, keeping it from getting too huge(I hope, this is just an example).

City walls:
would give a bonus of 50% against attacking, units that are not ranged or naval or siege category units. Against gunpowder units this bonus is reduced to 2/5, as it still can provide cover against units and I feel like it shouldn't be totally negated.

I mean in vietnam, the vietcong would often use stone structures for cover, so why not?

I'll edit the OP. However it'd be nice if someone could make the changes for me. If you quote the OP, and post the changes here, I can add the changes to the OP.

Krieger66, if you're posting that in response to my previous post, then that is not what I am looking for. Any of us can find the patch notes. However, editing the OP of this thread by crossing out what has been fixed is a big task. Quoting the the original post and putting the [s][/s] tags around the fixed things should be enough.
 
Do I need special permissions to do that?

I know you can edit your own post, or a thread you started but I obviously didn't start this one...:dubious:
