Quick Questions and Answers

I've never signed a Defensive Pact in Civ 5, but I know that Civ III had a Mutual Protection Pact (same thing) that only got activated when you were being attacked in your own territory. So, you know, perhaps...
 
I'm playing on King and finding when warmongering unhappiness is stopping me dead in my tracks when puppeting.. Should I be razing to combat this?

Edit:- and for the first time ever the game Im playing I havent razed a single city yet kept my happiness above 10 :lol:

The most important thing to keep happiness balanced while warmongering is pacing. You need to digest your puppets in small enough bites that it doesn't crash your happiness. Two things to keep in mind:

-Puppets like to build happiness buildings when your happiness is low, so give them the time to do so.
-While they are in resistance (the first few turns after conquest), any happiness buildings that might already exist in the city do not count.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice, I was trying to just take the world without pausing for breath :).

I noticed this morning (now I moved up to Emperor from King) as its taking me longer to take a city, I'm advancing slower and my happiness is alot more stable.
 
As a long time Civ player this is a bit embarrassing but I can't stand it any longer:

How do you manually select which tiles a city works? I've tried everything short of sacrificing a chicken, but I'm almost prepared to do that now.

Open the city screen. At the top right, expand the "Citizen Management" pulldown menu. The tiles being worked then show up on screen (green icon), and you can select different ones by clicking on a blacked icon (creating a green padlock icon there on the selected tile).

Glad to do my part to save the chickens. :lol:
 
The usual place for that is the Creation & Customization main forum: http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=393 You need to scroll down a bit, at the top are all the subforums for finished mods, but below that you can ask anything about Civ 5 modding.
Actually, I see you posted there already with some scenario idea. Well, it's for all general modding questions as well.

I wanted a thread where you could request things like extra civs and whatnot...
I guess my East Indies Scenario thread will have to do by itself.
 
kcd_swede, did you get any luck on finding out what the trigger is for that defensive pact? I became curious about that myself.

Nope. It sure didn't work the way I thought it should, but can only guess why... :confused:
 
Is there an easy way to see which DLCs I've purchased? It doesn't seem to show up in Steam - or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? How do I know which one's I've already purchased?

EDIT - Oddly, when I try to purchase an expansion that I already own, Steam shows this in my cart, but it doesn't seem to be visible anywhere else, for instance, when I'm looking at the item in the Store or in my Library.
 
Hello, couldn't find this info anywhere:

I started a game and theres a jungle-hill tile with the Gems resource, and it says the yield is 2F 0P 3G. Could someone explain how this happened? I thought the Hill terrain was base 0/2/0, then the jungle changed it to 1/1/0 and the gems made it 1/1/3.
 
I've seen this as well, yes, a jungle-hill with gems gives 2 food and 3 gold, no hammers. It looks like jungle and forest overrides whatever the underlying terrain is.
Jungle always gives 2 food, no hammers, forest gives 1 food and 1 hammer. Whether underneath is a hill, grassland, plains or tundra only matters once the chop is done.
 
Which Pogramm did I need to Install Mods at Civilization V

Just civ5. Its in the section Mods > Browser. You browse, select, download and install all in the same section.

If its downloaded from websites like our own, then the mod page will usually have details or there will be a readme file.
 
I'm not sure if this is a bug but...

I've had units killed by a melee unit stationed inside a city, then when my unit dies, the attacking unit is not ejected from the city. This happend in a recent game, a few turns in, by an enemy spearman..

Arent they supposed to move into the conquered tile?
 
As it was just outside an enemy city, it's likely there was city bombard as well. The animations in this game aren't doing a particularly good job in showing how something exactly happened, especially with a sequence of events.
I'm assuming it was city bombard that killed your unit off after a spearman did most of the work.
