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

[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;38897286]I'm sure G&K was £5 during the Autumn sale, no?[/QUOTE] I'm not sure. I got it ages ago from a slightly dodgy russian site for about £4. That was just the latest offer I saw and someone was asking about it.

Can someone tell me what having religion be the only religon in an enemy city can help with besides the religion bonuses from beliefs?

[QUOTE=Eeshton;38897939]Can someone tell me what having religion be the only religon in an enemy city can help with besides the religion bonuses from beliefs?[/QUOTE] Nothing other than certain bonuses if you invest in certain perks of religion.

ok for some reason i was under the impression you could possibly take a city with religion but i think that's civ 4?

Picked up the Civilization/Scenario packs, bar Spain and Inca in the sale, if G&K goes on sale for any more, I'll pick that up too.

Definitely picking this up. I have had my eye on this game for well over a year, and now that it is on sale for dirt cheap, I cannot possibly resist. Could someone tell me what my approx. framerate would be with my system setup? AMD Phenom II x6 1065T AMD Radeon HD 6450 8 GB DDR3 Win 7

Can anyone recommend some good mods?

Civilization Nights is a pretty good mod. It makes the beginning of games somewhat harder and there's a G&K and vanilla version for it.

It's really not that hard to run, even on DX11. Not to say it doesn't look great though.

Try grabbing a 5750 if you're on a budget and just want something that's good enough. Amazing card, and it's only about $75 now. Runs everything, though some newer stuff not maxed out. The 6450 is worse than an X850 and that card can't even run EvE with the fancy SM3.0 graphics, and used AGP 8x Everything else on your rig is good, though

So I've been getting kind of desperate to figure this shit out A friend bought me a copy of Civ 4 a few weeks ago on Steam. I haven't been able to play it. All I get is this error. [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8664592/ShareX/2012-12/Application_error_2012-12-22_13-16-46.png[/img] I have tried everything and then some to figure it out, including every suggestion Steam support has given me so far. No go. Reinstall Steam and the game? Nope Run game and Steam as administrator? Nosiree Run on a different computer? Nope Try a different windows install? Nope x3 Remove third-party software that could interfere? Nope. I'm convinced this is something on Steam's end but support ain't having any of it, because they don't have any other reports of this problem. Does anyone here have any other ideas or suggestions?

I can't seem to find it anywhere... [editline]22nd December 2012[/editline] Nevermind.

[QUOTE=Lyonidis;38934078]Thanks a ton bud! Picking this up with every possible DLC addon asap.[/QUOTE] Sorry, I must've misread the GPU. You might have to play on low settings, but it shouldn't be that bad. I would HIGHLY suggest trying the demo to see how you can run it before buying the full game.

Steady 50-60 fps, although how well I do when I start expanding like fuck is still to be determined. [editline]23rd December 2012[/editline] By the way, what is the closest thing to an "Economic Victory"?

Sorry for the random begging but this has been bugging me for the past week. Whenever I try to join my friends game (we were half way through it) after he bought gods and kings, he just drops in the lobby. His ping goes 5, 10, then 15 and he disconnects. The same on his end but it says I drop. I can join anyone elses game but his.

Bought Gods and Kings, makes the game so much more fun, it's unbelievable.

Turn 5: Rome declares war on me. Every time they near Hamburg I kick their asses. We eventually get peace after five turns. Turn 11: Aztecs declare war on me. Every time they near Hamburg I kick their asses. We eventually get peace after seven turns. Turn 19: Rome declares war on me AGAIN. Same story AGAIN. WILL IT NEVER END!?

Like three of my friends just got steam and bought Civ 5. I am ready to learn.

[QUOTE=Zarjk;38964348]Like three of my friends just got steam and bought Civ 5.
