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

They should really add some depth to the diplomacy in this game. It's really annoying to deal with other civilizations because their word means jack shit. They constantly lie to you and fuck you up. Trade and other negociations are very limited. It's such a lack for such a great game.

Yeah, I think trade should definitely have a little more depth, as well as a certain necessity if a civilization for one reason or another doesn't have something in his own territory. You should totally be able to loan out tiles and soldiers, as well as other things. Also, am I the only one who's a little annoyed with all the DLC? I mean, I love that they're supporting it, but it shows vikings right in the beginning movie (which is still unable to be skipped from the beginning?) and yet they weren't added till after the game was released. It just seems like they could've done a little better, I dunno.

I wish you could control your civilization and cities like Sim city 4 or something. Taxes, security and whatnot.

Although I could imagine that it would be to much of a micromanagement annoyance, considering that you actually can have a lot of cities.

Adding to the trade, there should be a Trade victory, where everyone is dependent on you for a necessity of some sort (although I suppose this could just be an easier way to get a diplomatic victory as well).

Yeah, I agree I'd much rather buy a large expansion pack instead of single civilizations. But it's a new phenomen that appeared in the gaming industry, you only get small dlcs.

Denmark's Beserkers can really slaughter anything post-Renaissance era

Does anyone have a fix for the runtime error upon loading a save? I can't play as of 2 days ago because of a runtime error when trying to start a game or load one. It shows the spinning globe cursor when I click load, but it stays like that for ~15 minutes then it goes black and shows the runtime error. I've tried nearly every fix online, and nothing works.

It really pisses me off how 'allies' basically demand goods and you have no option but to help them. Then when you ask them for help they say fuck off.

China is one fucking bitch. [editline]14th August 2011[/editline] Germany is dominate.

England with Commerce is OP.

But honestly Civ IV has pretty deep diplomacy, alliances actually mean something as most of the time the AI will stick to them, unless they decide they can wipe you out and achieve world domination. Also the vassal states in that game add a whole other layer of depth.

I also thought that religion was a pretty vital part of the game, and I'm not really sure why they took it out. It added another dimension to diplomacy. (I also loved espionage, but that's just me)

Something I would like to see is when you discover dynamite, you should be able to destroy mountains. In my main save, my capital is surrounded by mountains. When a barbarian is on the other side and gets stuck there, my workers around my capital keeps stopping their work due to paranoia or something.

fuck Montezuma me and him teamed up against Genghis Khan who was in between us, as soon as I had taken his capital Montezuma declared war against my battered army

I just bought his game for my new PC and I am very pleased eith how fast it runs. Completely maxed out, 2048x1152 resolution, and getting a constant 60FPS. Only disappointment is the outrageous DLC prices.

Yea the DLC's are pretty barebones, it's a shame they don't seem to be doing big expansions like in IV. A large number of the awesome features Civ IV has that V doesn't were added in that game's two expansions, if they were to do that with this game as well they could make it way better than Civ IV.

So what makes this game DX11, because I see nothing that couldn't be done on DX9. I guess Multi-threaded rendering helps because of how unoptimised this game is...

I bought Danish (Viking) civilization couple weeks ago, I haven't tried it out yet. Any tips? I will waste my night today with this if you give me some tips for the Danish civilization.

[QUOTE=Biotoxsin;31738960]The DX11 version is also a DX10 version[/QUOTE] So I guess fuck all changes except it runs better because they don't have to manually make the rendering multithreaded (which isn't as fast anyway) which they're too lazy to do.

Just what I read off of here: [URL]http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=381048[/URL]

You should use all DX's and run the one that runs best. Some video cards run DX10 or 11 games better in DX 10 or 11 instead of 9, some obviously run 9 better than 10 and 11. Comes down to the video card and/or drivers and the game. For instance mine runs DX9 way better than DX10 in Crysis, but runs BC2 WAY better using DX11 over 9

I once threw 6 nuclear bombs on china and them bitches were still standing. Then I realized that finishing this game would take me fucking ages so I just said fuck it.

Does anyone wanna play with me? I'm not very good ( at all ) because I'm new but still... Oh and I only have Civ V

But before that, they're just pure awesome.

Just got this last night... wow, everything's improved, given you familiarize yourself with the UI.

[QUOTE=Protocol7;31763104]Just got this last night... wow, everything's improved, given you familiarize yourself with the UI.[/QUOTE]It's improved, but it's simplified too, good for multiplayer matches, not so good for epic length, largest map size, most amount of civs possible 30+ hour single player games. :v:

would I like Civ V if I like total war games? (I don't like the combat in those games, I usually skip it)
