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

Things that always happen in every Civ Game: [B]AI:[/B] "U GIB ME NUKE 4 HORSE? [B]Player:[/B] "No" [B]AI:[/B] "LOL I WAR U" AI 1 declares war on AI 2 [B]AI1:[/B] "Help me by declaring war on AI 2" [B]Player:[/B] "Ok" Player has declared war on AI 2 AI 1 has made peace with AI 2 [B]AI 1:[/B] "STOP THE WAR WITH AI 2 YOU ASSHOLE WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU?" [B]Player:[/B] "I have your only remaining city surrounded with mech troopers and artillery. I have your ports blocked by nuclear submarines and I have in excess of thirty nuclear weapons at my command. Surrender" [B]AI:[/B] "May-bee" [B]Player:[/B] "What conditions would you surrender under?" [B]AI:[/B] "I want half you empire, 900 gold per turn for 300 turns, nukes, future science, all your uranium, horses, gold, oil, and a cash payment of 100,000,000,000 gold up front" [B]Player:[/B] "That's fucking stupid!How bout I just leave you and give you your cities back?" [B]AI:[/B]"LOL NEVAR SURENDURR"

lol, if you think the AI never surrenders here, you've obviously never played a total war game. I've found that if the AI loses too much they'll accept defeat nearly all the time, at least in CIV, but in total war once you get in a war it's either you or them.

AI always surrenders to me, even on hard. You just need to either take a city of his, or defeat a handful of armies without losing any yourself. They will almost always pay you gold, even give you a few cities to stop the war. It's a bit ridiculous, but i suppose they just want to guarantee their continued existence.

[QUOTE=NachoPiggy;25148913]Just found out you can get back the Baba Yetu song or any other song you want to become the menu music. Go to your assets\Sounds\Streamed\Music folder and replace OpeningMenu_Proto_1.wav with your own music of choice, remember your song needs to be in .wav form too. Also you can replace other music too though most of them use .ogg instead.

I wish there was a way to use the Civ 4 menu too. I liked the earth and sun thing they had going on.

The background doesn't quite match the Civ4 one though, an Atlas statue tucked away somewhere between buildings doesn't really give off the same vibe as the world.

seriously man, fucking ghandi, he's supposed be a fucking pacifist, and he keeps putting his cities near me, and he just made fun of my army, and launched a nuke. Fucking bald bastard

[QUOTE=ZuXer;25153548]seriously man, fucking ghandi, he's supposed be a fucking pacifist, and he keeps putting his cities near me, and he just made fun of my army, and launched a nuke. Fucking bald bastard[/QUOTE] Ghandi is one of the worst enemies to face, mostly because he gives almost no warning. You can be best friends, and he would suddenly turn on you for no reason. Atleast you can predict what Napoleon will try to do, and he always whines at you for ages first.

The files of the menu background are in the Granny engine format so I guess trying to get or at least emulate the world background from Civ IV, some extensive modding probably from the mod tools or something else is needed.

Also, started a new game, put in Askia, because he was a bro with me, but he got butthurt that I didn't give him ivory, then he declared war on me. Wiped out one of his cities, then he begged for mercy. Then Hiatwa killed him off. Also, Most of the time, I play japs, because of Bushido, and I was in war with Elizabeth, she had longswordsmen, and I had samurais. And one Longsword killed 2 of my samurais. What the hell, I thought that Samurais are supposed to be stronger than longswords

Samurais are the same strength as longswordsman.

Germany is such a dick. Start game Spawn near germany Become friends, Open Borders 710AD YOUR BORDERS ARE TOO LARGE PREPARE TO DIE

Picking this up tomorrow. :buddy:

The game gets loads of bad reviews from players. Well the bugs are kind of annoying and can destroy the gameplay. But seriously this game kicks ass, it's a bit more simply but also better designed as the prequels. Combat is so much better.

Anyone has a link to that mod that makes you start in the right positions for the civs in the earth map?

Yeah, it's kind of bad. If you want something exactly like Civ4, just play Civ4. I don't get it. I'll post some screenshots from my current playthrough, just to spice up the thread.

[QUOTE=Onyx3173;25158404]It was posted last page.[/QUOTE] Thanks, also my bad, read "the world map is improved" so I didn't think it was that.

So I settled down in Europe choosing the German nation. I came across some bandits and minor skirmishes but nothing special, expansion was going pretty fast. Only Ghandi proved to be a little shithead. [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/29zrekw.jpg[/IMG] I prepared my attack against that so called pacifist. He will pay for these insults and his vast empire. [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/idekgg.jpg[/IMG] Afrika is mine, Washington and Alexander were elimated. They posed no real threat, although it took quite some time. [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/20rmq6s.jpg[/IMG] My new aquired land gave me enough ressources to fight Ghandi, he is one of the most dominant leaders on our continent. After few nukes and a full scale invasion with my armored tanks and mechanized infantry. He eventually gave up and half of the world is mine. Just look at the map. My empire was never that big before. [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/246p1fs.jpg[/IMG] Now I need to take America. [editline]10:46PM[/editline] Fuck, sorry for the huge pictures.

ahahaha, oh wow

I love lining up soldiers at the borderlines.

Where do I put the earthmap? Sorry if this has been posted before

How can you get your cities producing as fast as the capital?

[QUOTE=kattolil;25159371]Where do I put the earthmap? Sorry if this has been posted before[/QUOTE] [quote]"My Documents/My Games/Sid Meyer's Civilization 5/MODS"[/quote] Put your mods always in that folder, then in the game menu install the mod under the mod section. It's fairly easy. [QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;25159392]How can you get your cities producing as fast as the capital?[/QUOTE] Well, you have to focus your cities more and specialize them. Some of my cities only produces units, focus on buildings which are incrasing the production. It also depends on the surroundings, forests boost your production.

[QUOTE=junker|154;25159512][/QUOTE] Thanks a lot mate!

[QUOTE=junker|154;25158254]The game gets loads of bad reviews from players. Well the bugs are kind of annoying and can destroy the gameplay. But seriously this game kicks ass, it's a bit more simply but also better designed as the prequels. Combat is so much better.[/QUOTE] The combat is pretty much the only thing that's better from CIV. Diplomacy can be better sometimes due to certain things but on certain other things it's worse, so that's kind of controversial. The fact that each civilization has not only a UU and a UB, but also a unique power, is quite good, but with only one leader per civilization, a lot of players are disappointed, so I'd say it's at least on par if not slightly better than CIV (where there were a few abilities and each leader had two of them, a little less unique). People are mostly disappointed because there's not much to do, there aren't a lot of actions you can take (aside from combat), for example in CIV you could control your cities much better, you had a lot more influence over how they're specialized due to tiles having more resources (in CIV it's unheard of to have, say, production cities without 2-3 tiles of 5+ hammers). Players really had to think in order to keep their science up, whereas here all you need to do is get more population and maybe a few science buildings that don't do much. A lot of players are also complaining about how social policies don't feel like a change, they're just general bonuses, for example - republic which is in the liberty tree, if I'm not mistaken this is the one that gives +1 hammer to each city. Now in CIV, you'd have civics where you can only choose one in each category, like in government - you had to choose between a monarchy, representation, police state or universal sufferage, and each had its own bonuses, but in cIV you can pick almost any combination of social policies you want, which is quite unrealistic. You want a democracy with a monarchy and a side of communism? No problem! I could go on about many other things, it's not just "waaaaa this game isn't like the previous one", there's just things where it feels like they went out of their way to not make the game too similar to cIV, and to me it seems like they forgot the old saying of "if it's not broke - don't fix it".

I agree that diplomacy is really bad compared to the prequels. Leaving out religions and espionage and several actions is also a shame.

there needs to be way more mods
