I'm expecting the King Midas touch on the AI here after waiting since the vanilla game's release way back in 2010. I know expansions did a wonder or two for previous Civ games but if it's not the same in this case, there's going to be a crapload, a HUGE crapload of POd consumers after all the hype and discussion over G & K. Are we going to hear heavenly angels when the expansion is released or the funeral march?

Most expansions don't get demos. It's not money-grabbing or anything, but since an expansion is just adding on to a game, it will play relatively similarly to the base game, thus a demo is unnecessary.
Also, what exactly is wrong with the current AI? I've never felt the AI was horrendous by any measure. Since the patch removed the "winning by same method" diplomacy modifier, the diplomatic AI won't be as immersion-breaking. That's an AI improvement.
I guess I don't understand what that does. Does that mean for a given game, the AI won't always do the same thing to try and win (i.e. He goes for a culture victory one game but given the same game he may pick military the next time)?Originally Posted by Mega-Dolphin
Regarding the current AI, come on. Maybe you modded the heck out of yours and made it great but the vanilla AI is not good. If I can beat it with it having 6 times more resources, units, income, etc than me, something is very wrong. Nuking the same cities 6 times. Sending one or two troops in my area over and over again to the same places so I can pick them off. Need I go on? I can if you like.
2K never said that "the whole point of this patch is to improve AI mechanics." My understanding of it is that it's a sort of bed for the upcoming G&K expansion, which will improve AI mechanics to some degree. I had next to no expectations about this patch. Like doag, I'm looking forward to G&K for that.
This new patch, i cant found cities anymore,i cant move my units and choose a new tech. please fix this.
im going to buy the new civ5 Gods and kings but if this bugs are still in my game, and im unable to play,then thats no point in buying it, please help
I would have to say that you shouldn't buy G&K if 9 civs, religion, and espionage aren't worth $30 to you. If you are anxious about the AI, let other fans play it and review it before you spend your money. Nothing is lost by waiting. This isn't an MMO where there is some kind of prestige with playing earlier or achieving things before others.
That's a little too rational, EP.

This sounds very client side. Verify the integrity of the game cache, then restart your computer and try again.This new patch, i cant found cities anymore,i cant move my units and choose a new tech. please fix this.

Tony,
Are you playing a saved game from before the patch? Greg said there would be problems for saved games from before the patch.
Yup and the people at CFC who didn't read that thread are dropping dead from heart attacks every second.

Anyone getting a CTD when choosing the Mods menu?
Um, excuse me!!! My saved game doesn't work after installing the patch. Isn't there a way to turn of the update? Jeez. Next, they'll be telling me that the new game I just started won't be compatible when I install the expansion. Reeeediculous.......
no..its a new game, i know that the saved game wont load so i deleted them, and started a new one but it doesnt work, i cant move my troops in the early game or found cities at all moreover the money,culture and happiness doesnt show.
No, but nothing happens when I click on Mods, it stays at the main menu.
I've felt pretty let down by Paradox games as well... Warlock is a bit shallow, and the AI is weak there as well. Meanwhile, Kings Crusade has a widespread problem with crashing at the end of the first mission, and it's still not been fixed.
Paradox is infamous at releasing buggy games that then get patched to decency later on.
I'd love to see follow up on this. Does Nexus do this now (without all the crazy hoops we had to jump through before)? Is there any more info from the devs or documentation on how to do it?
i tried that and still the same. am i the only one that this is happening?...everything else in the game is fine, just that i cant move units, found cities,money,culture, happiniess, tech tree,etc does not display on the screen anymore, i cant click the units also. one last thing,the button for next turn doesnt work either.

Ah, but it sounds like games started now will be compatible once people have the expansion... if they turn it off! See the nice new DLC menu mentioned in the patch notes, eh?Um, excuse me!!!

I just loaded the patch too. Now the game NO LONGER WORKS!!! It loads the player and show the settler and warrior, but neither can be accessed. It says that I am ready for NEXT TURN.
If all this is true..2k broke their own game with this patch. *standing and applauding* good show. jolly good show

I am also having the same issue. I was playing the game fine this morning, and this evening I cannot play the game at all. Whenever I load an old game or start a new game it is stuck in 'next turn' phase. No units/cities can be selected. cannot open civilopedia etc. Also the interface doesn't fit my screen despite no resolution changes having been made. This is incredibly infuriating. Have gone through all the recommended troubleshooting steps - of course to no avail. Have verified the integrity of game crache. Have even updated all my graphics and directx drivers and still the same problem occurs.
+1 to this. I just loaded up and quit, my newer game that I made about an hour ago and nothing..everything's "frozen in time"

Thanks so much for the patch. Can we expect to be able to save the advanced options in the near future?
Thank God im not the only one now, here i was thinking it was something wrong with my game or pc. i went into desperate mode cause the release of Gods and kings is next week and this happens, i hope now they will see and disable/fix this patch by tuesday...i uninstalled n install my Civ5 but still the same.
people dont allow the new patch or you wont be able to play the game after
Meh. I'll just wait for gods and kings. I kind of doubt the game will be totally unplayable when that releases.
as mentioned by a poster at CFC, could a memory leak be causing certain things to happen?
-Mark
I have noticed a long pause when the AI turn comes around. Is this normal?
Yes, it is.
About how long will it take to download in my situation?
Now in a 3G area with a jetpack with full green bars.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Is this DLC Enable Disable list new? It's really great. I would love it if there was one more ticker on there: New World Natural Wonders. It's really just Skilldorado and Fountain of Win that break the game, but if it has to turn off all of them, I'm fine with that too. I just don't want to have to deal with those two natural wonders, and with the four new natural wonders we're getting in G&K I'm sure without them there will be more than enough natural wonders in the game.
Do you have the Steam Overlay disabled? I believe it requires that.
The "mods" entry on the main menu doesn't need the overlay, but the "get mods" link in the mods section does.
for this patch, it's normal
-Mark
Drop me a PM. I would like to know more about your setup. Thanks!Thank God im not the only one now, here i was thinking it was something wrong with my game or pc. i went into desperate mode cause the release of Gods and kings is next week and this happens, i hope now they will see and disable/fix this patch by tuesday...i uninstalled n install my Civ5 but still the same.
I have noticed a slight speed up in turn times. My computer freezes up a lot less during AI turns.
Current rig is:-
Intel i5 2320
amd 6770 2 gb gfx card
8 GBs RAM
2TB hd
seems smoother, better than the beta patch
Stuff like this happens when you are coding for three trillion different combos of computers. I'm seeing quite a few slow down issues on the forums at the mo, strange

OK. I did as suggested. Restarted my computer. Now the game will run. But.............................it................ .................... runs.....................................very..... .................................very............. .......................slow. I know I don't have the most up-to-date equipment, but the game was fine before the patch!I just loaded the patch too. Now the game NO LONGER WORKS!!!
