    The bible isn't a flawlessly reliable historical source; the Old Testament is specifically the history of a single nation, and as such can be considered to treat contemporaries of that nation with a...

    Does anyone from the developers still look at this forum, or was posting this a bit naive?

    Certainly I would play MP if it worked. Civ 4's MP sucked, too, and I didn't play that very often either, so perhaps it's impossible for anyone in Firxais out outside of it to know whether Civ MP...

    Oh, a few other things:

    * G&K had neither increased nor decreased the likelihood of crashes occurring;
    * It feels, possibly erroneously, like crashes occur more often within the first hour or so...

    [Probably hardware] Frequent CTDs

    Hello,

    I'm a huge fan of the game and have many hundreds of hours logged on Steam. However, I have an issue which has plagued me since I first got the game, but which I have - for reasons that...

    At the moment, Civ released coincide perfectly with my own hardware upgrade cycle, and I'd rather keep it that way. Next year at the very earliest pls.

    If you want an 'in' for a war you can always create one. Put some units on their borders to threaten them, denounce them, cozy up to their enemies - making an enemy in Civ V is much easier than...

    About 900 years ago, but these things tend to go in cycles.

    Which is why I'm not - frankly that feels like a bit of a straw man.

    Also, I'm not really "desperate" for atheism to be in the game - ultimately it's just a game, and if they want to have religion...

    I suspect that may be a local / regional dialect issue, as certainly in my experience and academic background atheist is used very happily in the context that I have given.


    Oh, sure; I'm arguing...
  12. Poll: The terms are synonyms and are used...

    The terms are synonyms and are used interchangeably - appropriately, as are the precise same thing. The Greek prefix 'a-' meants 'not'.

    The opposite of religious is not atheist, it's irreligious....

    Remember that many religions, such as Mahayana Buddhism, Jainism and Reform Judaism, are atheistic.

    It is not logically required for any religion to have a God.

    Usually it would be for a preload, so you could play at the moment of release rather than waiting for a download.

    I started looking at it with the curved bit at the top being the bottom of a saddle, the brown being a horse and the black being some sort of horse trouser, and now I can't unsee it.

    That and the lace above it makes me feel like it could be a European power from the last middle ages or renaissance.
