Quick Questions and Answers

Hi all, really noob question but I have looked and looked and can't find the info.

I can not find the commands &/or menu to consume my great people. Is there a list of commands or a manu I'm missing, I've looked everywhere.
 
There should be options in the usual place: the left side of the screen on the very side. There should also be something in the improvements box (the worker box that comes up when a worker is on a non-city tile).

Also, welcome to CFC! [party]
 
Sometimes, especially during a war, I'd like to move a damaged unit into a city for quick healing. However when I do so, the unit automatically garrisons and I often end up forgetting to reactivate it when it's healed. Is there a way of moving into a city without the garrisoning, or at least caqn I cancel the garriosn once the unit is in there?
 
You should be able to put steam into offline mode even if you don't have internet access at the time. I think you can also set it to stay offline unless you tell it otherwise.

Every time my internet isnt working and I turn on my computer, it prompts me to log into steam. When I put in my password, it says theres a problem connecting to the internet, and I cant play. I feel this is silly. I understand needing the internet to connect to the online community, but come on I paid for the game I should be able to use it whenever.
 
Your best bet is going to be to get in the habit of staying in offline mode in Steam unless you're actively shopping or downloading something. As far as I know there is no way to switch to offline mode from a logged off state, which I agree is a major flaw in the program.



Thanks for the idea clearbeard. I hope that Steam reads the forums and remedies the situation.

Open up the 'Diplomacy' tab and it will say what the AI thinks of you next to their name. Alternatively, when conducting diplomacy with the leader, their attitude will be displayed on the interface.

This happened to me back in November when I was in the hospital for a week. My computer likes to turn itself off sometimes. When the computer turned off, I had my wife carry my laptop down to the coffee shop, log in, switch to offline mode, and bring the laptop back.

I had internet in the hospital, but it blocked the specific non-http protocol for Steam.

I emailed with Steam tech support, and they gave me some very strange (and vague) instructions involving editing, deleting, and moving files, all of which was totally over my head in my less-than-clear brain state.

On the Civ 5 install, I thought they claimed you have to connect to the Net one time, but never again. Clearly this is not the case since I had installed the game a month before I was hospitalized. In addition, I had the CD in the machine, so there should have been no question as to my authorization.

DRM just sucks.

Sadly, no. The only time you can use the "fortify until healed" in a city, and have the unit reactivate when it is doen, is on a unit that has just captured a city, but has not yet garrisoned. For some reason, you get that option then and only then.

Pretty sure you can't. This is a fairly common complaint with Steam games in general. It's possible they've fixed it recently, but I somehow doubt it. The Steam forums or tech support would be the place to go for a better answer.

Is there a way to completely turn off the citizen management automation(governor)? I know you can click the tiles off and on manually, but it often ends up overriding me(or is that just in my head). Also when you do it manually there's the padlock icon, now does that mean that the governor will never change the tile no matter what? If I for example change focus from gold to production will the governor be able to move a citizen from a tile I "padlocked"?

Not exactly a quick question lol so sorry, but I'd really appreciate any help.:)

Once you have the "padlock" on a citizen, it will not move that worker until you unlock it. Changing the governor focus will rearrange the other people, but not the locked ones. Note that clicking on the center city tile will refresh all the workers (but not specialists), and clear all your padlocks. The only way to turn off the governor is to manually set each and every one of your workers. Even then, any new people that are born will be controlled by the governor until you set them, as well.

<snip> you Steam!!! I really hope they fix this... I mean PAYING customers not being able to use their game. And they might say "well how often do you really not have internet" or "just log in as offline mode each and every time you turn off the computer"

If you leave it in offline mode you are not prompted for updates, and if you forget to turn it off there's a lot of scenarios where you dont have internet. If you take it to a friends house and theres connectivity issues. Not all hotels have internet. Airports often have issues with blocking websites. If youre on a long car or bus ride. Bottom line is that this is a method inferior to CD's in playing games.

I am fine with Steam having a monopoly on Civ V, but cut the bull. Just let us install it to our machines and force us to go online for updates and to access the steam community.

Thanks clearbeard, I posted that at the bottom of the last page so I was afraid it might not get noticed. You're a credit to the forums.
 
The medic promotion says that it lets units in adjacent tiles heal an extra hitpoint per turn, does this also include that unit (said medic)?
 
It kind of depends how early it is and what the state of your economy is throughout the rest of the game. I'd try for the win though, what difficulty level is it on?
 
I'm on immortal. Rome has 12/20 city states and is at war with me. I have enough nukes to take Rome but not the rest of the roman empire before rome gets the UN. I still have 6 capitals to conquer and only have 60 gpt to do it with.
 
I've been reading a lot on the forums and it sounds like a patch/dlc coming out. Anything confirmed?
