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.
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.
how do you know whether the AI is friendly towards u or not?????![]()
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.
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?
How to switch steam server location ? i am sick of not finding MP games in my region wanna switch to USA or EU servers.

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.![]()
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.
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)?
