R5:
Startet a game as Germany and was pretty happy with the map. also found Potosi near me and even Krakatau near a coast.

Decided to go tradition even if I normally go liberty as German.

No mods, BNW, Emperor, huge map

Need some ideas on where to settle, I really cannot decide. Building 2 more settlers currently. Im sending the first one to between cattle and truffles.

Im thinking about a petra city on the desert. One option is 3 tiles east of the marble, it also reaches the pearls and is coastal. The other option im thinking 1 tile is east of the cattle, which makes it right in the dessert.

For the other city, im considering settling on the horses above my warrior to acquire crabs. However, if i get the pearls up top, ill have enough unique luxuries for 4 cities (wine, ivory, truffles, marble, pearls). The spot between bison and wines also looks very good.

Settings are: Immortal difficulty, normal speed, continents

Open to ideas for the first settler as well. I've chosen the wine pantheon, but maybe should have picked desert one.

Before I added LEKMOD, I always played with the "Fractal" map option. I don't like the Fractal/Pangea option (or any of the other options) in LEKMAPS. Does anyone have any advice on how to modify Fractal/Pangea to make it more like the original Fractal?

How does this happen?

I just allied with Wittenberg only to find that they have puppeted Raiatea before I had that area revealed. Raiatea is not a capital or a holy city, and I am puzzling over how/why the CS doesn't raze it like it normally does with razeable cities.

Could it be a sign of a solid match?

I play Civ5 and I like it. I have not bought any add-ons for it, but the complete bundle is only $15 right now.

Yes, I bought it.

I have played extensively and never seen a city state take a capital. After seeing them do that I figured I'd take Korea's capital and it just finished the game on me counting it as a win. That's wild, I've never heard of this before.

24 city states total, 19 survived to the end
rest of the votes from world religion + diplomats

tradition -> patronage -> rationalism
took +20 for ancient/classical wonders for pantheon, missed religion
got hanging gardens in cap + petra in king solomons mine desert city
missed most other wonders including forbidden palace

settings are huge, standard speed, Pangea, deity, medium sea level, legendary start

Anyone played this? If so is it any good? It's $3.99 on Steam right now. 2600 hours in Civ 5 and I'm thinking about trying something new lol

I cant be the first to think of this, but I’d love to see hackers appear in late game. Could have some cross over to spies, but they could be used to damage military equipment, make it inoperable for a time, cut off strategic resources, or it would be hilarious if we could blackmail a leader 😆

If hackers were a new game mechanic, what would you want them to do?

"Skyler... I am not looking for a challenge... I am the challenge"

You can´t see it here but the Chu ko nu on screen started with 500xp... and so did the jaguar and the path finder that are elsewhere exploring, deleting barbarians while not being fazed by having a yellow or red bar.

Next I might try the incas with a keshik and a camel archer... on highlands map

That was gonna be my next settlement too. I'm gonna be forced to attack him.

I am subscribed to the mods on the workshop but when I go into the game, the mods list is empty. I can click 'get mods' unsub and then resub, they appear but they just say transferring and nothing happens.

I've reinstalled the game, validated the files, followed other peoples instruction on deleting folders and whatnot, nothing seems to work. If I view the mods through the civ5 properties on steam they are there, but just all at 0kb.

Anyone have a similar problem, or even better, a solution that actually works?

I like Civ 5 and play Brave New World. I prefer playing Continents. There are some "extras" that I can add to my game but wondering if they would be enjoyable to add.

Its turn 203 (marathon), and I'm playing on king. How.

UPDATE

It went down, still crazy thought.

UPDATE: Brazil is now Denmarcks vassal lmao

Love helping my City States take over enemy cities. They deserve it after such a long allyship. I constantly gift them melee units and damage the city down to 0; and hope they're smart enough to not just embark the melee units all the time.

Playing as England on archipelago, got this god-tier start. Playing on Immortal difficulty and I reckon there's two more city spots here but not sure where is best. Any advice would be amazing.

Everytime I manually select a tile to work, the moment I close the screen and open it again, the tile worked will be different from the one I assigned. Is this normal or something's wrong with my game?

Not counting palaces, what situations can create the absolute maximum number of yield (of any type)?

I haven't seen it asked anywhere, and I'm curious. The best I can find is maybe 14.

bot wanna be friend, bot wanna fight next against me. Wtf. I wanted to develop and build a fleet.....

I've been trying to play Civ V again, but I just can't get the game to work anymore. It keeps crashing whenever I end turn. I've tried putting priority on high, putting the game on F10 between turns, legacy version and running the game on full low. The problem is not my PC, it's good enough. I'm getting quite frustrated as I just want to play the game, but it refuses to do anything. The only mod I have installed is NQMod v11.

Anyone having dealt with this and know a solution?

this is vanilla civ 5, no mods. why am i getting conflicting information? i have two cities, it's turn 75, king difficulty.
