Quick Questions and Answers

As someone who is completely new to the Civilization series, should I play Civ IV or Civ V, or what? I don't care about graphics, only about gameplay.
 
How is it possible, that I can upgrade Tank to Modern Armor for 0 gold? I am Japanese, and have all policies from Honor and Autocracy. I thought that even these policies won't reduce the upgrade cost to 0.
 
Marble increases the production of wonders by 10% Do they have to be a worked tile in one of your cities or can it be gifted? Also, any other resources have any 'latent bonuses' like this?

The wonder production bonus applies no matter how you obtain the Marble. If it's through trade or a gift from a CS you just miss out on the Quarry and Stoneworks bonuses that you get from having it nearby.
 
Duhh ... guess this was already clarified a long time ago, but since I'm new to Civ5 and I have no luck with the search function:

Is there any way to generate a new map in civ5 without starting a whole new game?

I'd like to try some special tactics, but I'd like to choose my start a little more than usual for those games :)

Thanks for your help!

You can make a map in the world builder and load it as a scenario, but there is no "regenerate map" function.
 
- I have seen people shutting down the "new research found". With just a symbol notifying. Checked the user.ini file but couln't find the right line for it. Which one is it?

- If you sell marble to AI. Do you still got the wonder build bonus? (I guess not..)

Thank you in advance.
 
few questions here. When I got civ 5 i struggled to beat anything harder then prince for the first few games because i failed to realise the importance of city states and just ignored them. Once i grasped the huge impact they had i was soon beating emperor every time. I then struggled with immortal a few times and now am regularly beating immortal except for doomed games. Basically there are set ups where you are right next to them and you find before you have built your first worker your under attack from 5 warriors and well theres no hope there no matter how good you are.

So heres my questions anyway,
1.
have I achieved anything good at all I mean I seen enough people saying how easy it is so is everyone beating immortal and me just a noob or is this something impressive?

is there a major difference between immortal and deity guess I am going to find out soon just i didn't notice much difference between king and emperor difficulties but did notice a large difference between immortal and emperor.

2.
has there been a patch update in the last few days or something. basically i noticed the ai never launches an invasion over sea so in my last game i was horrified when the ottoman empire got a settler onto my land and i declared to kill it because did not want them settling. Did not think anything would happen until they horrified me by not only sending a large invasion force over sea but decided to go round the long direction instead of the near side to catch me of guard. fortunately a small tank and artillery general assisted human controlled army is superior to a large riflemen artillery non general assisted ai controlled army.

This was in my last game and was the first and only time i have ever witnessed the computer ai launch an invasion over sea. it was harder to defend then it sounds because they were also backed by several destroyers and I had not built any navy, so hit and run tactics with tanks and art kept in citys.

is this due to an update or was this just a unique freak occurrence?

The combat VI is poor, but improving gradually with each patch. The amphibious behavior you noted is a result of the latest patch. To my eye, the relative difficulty seems about 2 steps removed from what you might have been comfortable with in Civ4. So if you were a consistent King player in 4, you should be okay with Immortal. Hopefully subsequent releases will improve the overall army handling and deviousness of the VI to close this gap further. The biggest difference between Immortal and Deity is that the computer will start the game with a settler, so has 2 cities right off the bat, compared to your 1. That second city doesn't have the advantage of a capitol's improved defenses, so in earlier versions at least, many players have found Deity to be ironically easier than Immortal, as you can rush capture 1-3 nearby enemy "second cities." I haven't played much lately, so I'm not sure how viable this is any more.
 
How big is the latest Steam Patch ?

I recently formatted my machine and re-installed Civ V. It is now taking it a lot of time to download one item on Steam before I can play.

I am worried about the updated: 55mb/ 4696 MB

Is it downloading the whole game ?? It is already installed.

I have attached a screenshot.

Steam backup/restore is known to be "weak".
One thing I've found useful is to restore from a "clean" boot.
(search Microsoft site if you don't know how to perform a "clean" boot)
You can then boot "normally" and let Steam update the game files as needed.
