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

Wasn't Austria just a German country created by the Habsburgs, and not really a separate 'civilisation' anyway?

[QUOTE=Thom12255;36183682]You know what, I have played Civ 5 since it was released and never used a nuke. wonder what the graphic looks like.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTGNd-so4Rk[/media] The more you use, the prettier they gets.

Otherwise they're too weak and disappointing to justify the price.

I've seen many nations finish the Manhattan project, Only in one match have I ever seen AI use nuclear weapons.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;36185943]I've seen many nations finish the Manhattan project, Only in one match have I ever seen AI use nuclear weapons.[/QUOTE] AI tends to be a lot more passive on lower difficulties, so that may be it.

[QUOTE=Cows Rule;36185943]I've seen many nations finish the Manhattan project, Only in one match have I ever seen AI use nuclear weapons.[/QUOTE] Once I was playing as China on a standard sized map, sharing a huge continent with four other civs. I completely conquered France and Germany and was about to invade Askia when he and Hiawatha decided to have a 50-year nuclear war. I was on good terms with them both, so I never got hit. By the end, both civs had no major cities and I could literally conquer one with one or two infantry units.

Japan and Germany were wiped out, which was a humourous coincidence but Napoleon started Nuking him. The way he did it was like a small child though, because he'd deploy a Nuke, wait for my friend to finish scrubbing the fallout then deploy another as soon as he'd finished. Caused him to rage quit :v:

Just played Civ3 again, the AI is just so great. Really fucking aggressive and backstabbing. I miss that in Civ5.

I'll offer you peace if you give me all your gold, resources, and cities"

I just hated how the AI can do so much yet you're restricted in what you can do. Why can't I ask for some gold if I'm struggling?

I bought Civ5 during the steam sale last week. I've never played a civ game before but I figured I might like this game. Good god, this game is incredibly addictive. I told myself I'd play a quick game a few days ago, shit took 7 hours and I won with a diplomatic victory

I can never get diplomatic victories, my play style's pretty isolationist.

Just give City States your gold

[QUOTE=redBadger;36250645]Just give City States your gold[/QUOTE] But I need that gold for building maintenance

Who's up for a FP match once Gods and Kings comes out? It would be a nice way to kick it off.

[QUOTE=redBadger;36250645]Just give City States your gold[/QUOTE] Plus they've nerfed that in G&Ks :v:

I always play as a diplomat and Greece. It's nice being allies with militaristic city states and getting a ton of free units from them, it allows me to use gold to speed up development across my empire

My play style is [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5636656/emot-science.gif[/img]

I always end up in a dick waving contest with Russia, where they will amass all of their troops on my borders and I will have to double military production and go bankrupt in order to face them down.

my play style is to science all the way to spaceship

[QUOTE=redBadger;36250407]I just hated how the AI can do so much yet you're restricted in what you can do. Why can't I ask for some gold if I'm struggling?[/QUOTE] Go into the trade menu with them and don't put anything on your side. Very, very rarely they will agree.

[QUOTE=meppers;36251537]my play style is to science all the way to spaceship[/QUOTE] This, or just to artillery, depending on how I feel.

GRRR I AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW So I get in this long, extended battle in the Renaissance era with one of Montezuma's cities. It's a huge city, size 15, so it takes forever to capture. Finally, when I get it down to very low health, some Songhai WARRIOR wanders past and attacks the city. Seeing as the city was that weak, the songhai ended up capping the city, making the last 30 turns worthless. I am so fucking mad right now. Askia is going down.

There, updated the OP with new prices and info about the expansion, not long to go now.

Fuck it, pre-ordered.

Wow, I just realized how incredibly ancient this thread is.
