I only played once as England but found it worked well. The unit maintenance is extremely low and they build quickly so you can really get involved around the Mediterranean.
Pushed the Celts back...

When you look at steam stats it inspires confidence about new content being made. It's probably the safest and most lucrative project they can have their devs working on (if it's done right of...

Basically just to get a lot better. Say 2-3 games to learn how everything works, another few to devise your strategies and become effective at implementing them, then after that crank up the...

^Agree, just let your neighbouring AIs build cool stuff for you. Armies are cheap and more versatile than wonders. You capture a bunch of things that ultimately make you really strong even if it's...

^Yeah I'll put in another vote for auto-cycling off. You get your attack lined up on one screen and then it's easy to click-and-move them all without disruptions. After that I use the dot key to...

I always thought this was mainly user error, until I came across a machine the other day we just couldn't get working. Every turn it disconnected. It's no doubt some difference in config but it's...

Just think of military as an investment rather than a distraction. If you keep them active then they'll pay for themselves inevitably. Works for me anyway.

Thanks for this thread. I somehow missed the bonus on catapults as well. I've been spamming composite bows for the last 6 months. Perhaps archers are still better if they have a lot of units, but...

Probably a lot of people do this: buy barracks everywhere, build heroic epic in a high hammer city, then sell barracks everywhere except the epic city.
Harbour/seaport will occasionally be...

Just think of inquisitors as single-shot great prophets. And yes they have a specific religion according to where they were trained.

Well yeah at least try a 6-player map to see if it's still slow. Definitely shouldn't be.

There's a good chance it's overheating and throttling everything back. Might be time to open it up and...

Haha nice one!

I'm not holding my breath...

Random events, pleeeease!

Early civil service if you have rivers, and if you go tradition the early aqueducts are amazing too (you don't need to unlock engineering to get them). Also stay happy while the cities are in the...

Yeah policies are great - always my #2 priority right behind hammers.
I find these days I avoid liberty - the free settler and worker feel like wasted culture because the units can be easily...

You gotta have some kind of committed strategy other than just seeing what comes up each turn. If it gets to the point where one of the other Civs has 50 cities you've left it way too late to keep...

Yeah staying on top of social policies is crucial, especially when you reach the modern policies (where most people tend to slow down). I'd say generally the best choice is to puppet everything:...

Just got a few thoughts:

1. I always have domination as my default mindset because conquest advances you faster to the other victory conditions. Basically the point when I switch is when I...

I can't see many Civ fans being minimum wage earners. When I was at minimum wage back in the day I didn't even have a graphics card, let alone time to pay games.

What are your issues? One of my friends had a LAN issue but that was due to internet connection sharing. Easy fix. I haven't heard of other multiplayer problems - it might be worth reporting them...

I've got graphic corruption on the 'unit killed' icon since this hotfix came out.

I've seen this a lot pre-patch as well. Also (very) occasionally get invisible units.
I always run new drivers but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

It's quite strong. The problem is that Freedom and Order are both too tempting for other reasons. Also I think I'd like it a lot more if they got rid of the 50 turn limit on attack bonus.

Vs...

I'm looking for a touch screen that's cheaper than buying a tablet. Surprisingly difficult!

Just disable it under 'DLC' in the main menu.

Although there are probably some balance changes that made it into the original game via patch.
