Civilization V - Civ: causing all nighters since 1991 - Games

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;36603865]In Civ III and IV they're between tiles, buggered if I know what they were like in I and II.[/QUOTE] They are in tiles in II, no clue about I.

[QUOTE=KommradKommisar;36598877]Does anyone else love watching cities grow? Seeing buildings grow across rivers and other hexes is pretty cool.[/QUOTE] yes when they grow where you want them to I DON'T NEED MORE WATER YOU FUCK THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY FISH IN IT AND THERE ARE 3 INCREDIBLY USEFUL RESOURCES RIGHT ON OUR BORDERS

[QUOTE=Wealth + Taste;36603515]I think it's funny how your own mistakes you make would translate into a real-world scenario. For example, I sometimes have trouble remembering where all my units are and I usually forget a few when I mobilize towards a new enemy. I usually end up forgetting my great generals because I keep them on "sleep" most of the time. Imagine how this would work in the real world: "Holy shit I think we forgot to invite Patton." "Fuck, not again."[/QUOTE] "Hannibal sacrificed himself to build this fortress so give us your land. Thanks"

"We took apart admiral Nelson's flashship for parts. Including his body."

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;36606693]"We took apart admiral Nelson's flashship for parts. Including his body."[/QUOTE] Speaking of admirals, I love how their ships are pretty much tiny rowboats that are useless in combat.

[QUOTE=Mmrnmhrm;36606768]Speaking of admirals, I love how their ships are pretty much tiny rowboats that are useless in combat.[/QUOTE] Since I always move my great admirals/generals with other units, I just imagine that they're 'attached' to those units. Like if an admiral is sharing a tile with a Battleship, then he's actually aboard the battleship and not on the little dingy he calls a ship.

Hey guys, I'm playing Civ 5 with all the DLCs, including Gods & Kings, and I'm in the modern era, attacking Persia which is in Industrial, I lowered the city's health to zero, and there's only a industrial era cannon unit in it, with the city surrounded with my gatling guns, and being bombed by 2 artilleries, yet I can't seem to capture the city. What do?

[QUOTE=Mmrnmhrm;36608291]You need a melee unit to capture cities. Ranged units cannot capture cities.[/QUOTE] I tried with my riflemen, which are infantry, and they just shot the city and died.

Just started a game, my Capital City, Moscow is 6 tiles away from London... something tells me that by the end of this game I will hate England and hate Queen Lizzy

Washington is being a fucking retard. 2000 BC he declared war for absolutely no reason. It's 275 AD now, he hasn't sent a single unit and everytime I try to make peace he demands my gold and most of my resources.

[B]Ladies and Gentlemen![/B] May I please have your attention for the following presentation. This is Stockholm [img_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/939248355138370412/FEEB5DDD9844180C0BDE8C07FA5720B2ABBD011D/[/img_thumb] And this is Sweden [img_thumb]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/939248355138367626/A2FAD6E6379FE3894F6AC9B1644C867500ECB183/[/img_thumb] Why is Sweden located at this particular location? I don't know, and I don't care. Sweden doesn't care either, nor should you. [B]SO STOP CARING![/B] As you can see, having an entire continent for yourself has its perks. Sweden is best (and only) friends with Sweden, so working together with myself I've captured the entire continent in record time. [img_thumb]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/939248355138365516/2DC1D7A1D1F02A3A31A99246D35BAB2C93B8AB61/[/img_thumb] These are The Netherlands. INFERIOR history books tell you that the Dutch are European. Swedish history (The only true recounting of history) now shows you that they were always South American. Sweden wasn't shocked by this and neither should you be. [B]SO STOP BEING IN AWE.[/B] As they were the first Civ to be discovered, we quickly become bro's. It's almost like being friends, but not quite. As a gift, Sweden shared (read: conquered) its religion with the Dutch. Sweden has the best Scientists in the world, shown by our patented discovery that "[b]AXE[/b] with [b]FACE[/b] equals [b]SCIENCE²[/b]" (AF=S²). This resulted in us entering the Modern Era long before any other civilization could even read Swenglish. Conveniently, the same theory also applies to economics as dead people don't require their wealth. So remember: Axe first, ask questions later.

Home of the Swenglish people and the presigious University of Swengford (Naturally, the University of Oxford is in Stockholm). Here, it radiates Swedish pride onto Europe in a peaceful manner. Unfortunately, the Ottomans and Japanese didn't like the sound of weapons being sharpened in the morning, and of our feasting in the evening. Where the Ottomans called us WEAK and FOOLISH, the Japanese were actually incredibly stupid ("Attacking Sweden" and "Incredibly Brave" are mutually exclusive) and assembled a secret naval fleet to attack me. Granted, I've let my militairy might lax a bit in favor of sowing the glorious seeds of Sweden. Nevertheless, Sweden did what it does best: Get up from a great progressive feast and whirl up the war machine. Before their scouting fleet even arrived, my spies confirmed what I saw earlier and before their first scout ships arrived at Strängnäs, under the guise of a "peace" mission, I had a front line established along the coastal city that no nation could penetrate. Mind you, their ship's wreckage did made for excellent tables at our victory feast. They came begging for a peace treaty as their fleet didn't like the prospect of being banquet tables. I wasn't in the mood to stomp them out just yet, so I demanded some luxury resources for the victory feast before I accepted. To commemorate the event, I've added the honorary name of Rock Harbour to the city of Strängnäs, as pearls are not for the Swedes.

That's right, it's not MINE. Not yet, that is. This will be Sweden's next project. Our legacy spread all the way to this corner of the earth, as the native barbarians (read: wannabe Swedes) actually tried to cross their axes with ours. Little did they know that we combined tradition with technology. Could you imagine the horror on their faces when they saw true Swedish axes strapped under almost-as-deadly rifles? I didn't have to, cause I was there. And it was GLORIOUS. This concludes the presentation of my nation. LIKE IT OR YOU'RE NOT MY BRO. You know what happens with people who aren't my bro...

How the [b]fuck[/b] are you researching [b]FLIGHT[/b] in 320 A.D?

[QUOTE=Holy Altnir;36609629]GUYS STOP IGNORING ME[/QUOTE] How high is the defense of the city?

[QUOTE=ewitwins;36609736]How high is the defense of the city?[/QUOTE] Barely. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] And it's hp is empty.

Lost my last game because I forgot to set turns to unlimited so the Byzantines won. At least I didn't get completely wiped out by them like I thought I would. But they had nukes along with England and Carthage and I wanted to watch them all blow eachother up. But they didn't get to.

[QUOTE=Holy Altnir;36609743]Barely. [editline]3rd July 2012[/editline] And it's hp is empty.[/QUOTE] That's odd... I dunno, might be bugged.

Is there any way I can take it? I'm in turn 3xx, and it took me a few hours, I don't want to start over...

It seems odd, it shouldn't happen. Try taking another city?

How the Hell are you in the industrial era by 320 AD

I declare haxors. That or he's playing on Settler :v:

[QUOTE=ewitwins;36612803]I declare haxors. That or he's playing on Settler :v:[/QUOTE] It's only fair. Whenever I play at least one AI is always in the Classical Era within 5 turns but it takes me like 20.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;36613811]It's only fair. Whenever I play at least one AI is always in the Classical Era within 5 turns but it takes me like 20.[/QUOTE] Then do what every other leader does naturally. Bribe neighbors to kill him

being an economic powerhouse is way better than having a huge military. "oh, you declared war on me, excuse me while i pay all other countries on earth to go to war on you"

A massive economy can be converted into a huge military anyway, albeit a bit slower, and you're not bogged down with maintenance costs when they're not needed.
