Game takes a while to get going, around 200 turns you'll start expanding etc. Turns are like decibels in that when you reach a certain number, slight increases have a big impact. One minute nothings happening and then in the next couple of turns you're taking several minutes to finish a turn.
Civilization V

Well firstly its a strategy game, if you haven't played them before than it might be a bit confusing.
The idea is that you build up a civilization and do everything to gain the upper-hand against other Civs that are trying to do the same around you. It gradually becomes more and more complex and requires planning ahead and getting to know the situation.
It also depends on how you want to play. There are different ways of winning and the idea is to navigate your civ down specific paths based on their advantages.

ive been going almost 2 hours and all i seem to be doing is SPACE SPACE ENTER SPACE SPACE ENTER SPACE SPACE ENTER.
one question i have, if say i have some cows 1 square from my city in my area, do i automatically get food or do i have to do something on that square?

To be honest, if you can, it's easier to try and steamroll the AI in the early game to make it easier and shorter in the late game - Gandhi with nukes!
Each resource, be that cows, gold or anything has a specific improvement, built by workers, which does certain things. In the case of a food resource such as cattle, it merely improves the value of the tile when worked by the city, i.e. it increases the food, production and/or gold output of the tile. In the case of a strategic resource such as iron, it gives you a specific amount of the strategic resource which you require to build units/buildings. In the case of luxuries such as gold, it provides your civ access to one amount of that resource. The first of each resource provides +4 happy. Improved strat and lux tiles also improve the yield of the tile like food.
You need to use a worker to construct a Pasture on the tile where the horses are, and you need to have researched the tech Horseback Riding, which will allow you to build Horsemen. A Stable is a building you construct in your city which provide a production bonus, iirc 15%.

This. You can domesticate horses and use them as beasts of burden with Animal Husbandry (hence Pastures on Horses giving +1 hammer where Pastures on Sheep give +1 food), but you need a separate tech before someone realises they can carry people as well.
There was a similar reverse change in BNW, where Iron resources become visible when you develop Bronze Working but can't be used without Iron Working. Once you've sussed out how to use copper and tin you start looking at other harder metals, but you still need to figure out better smelting techniques and hotter forges before you can work them.
Just too me first steps from Prince difficulty... into Emperor
Holding in there and doing okay, but it's very hard and I'd say more fun! On Prince I never lost so it's a nice change to be on the back foot.
Yeah, warmonger is broke. It's always been broken but it seems especially bad in Brave New World. I had warmonger status from an ally (Poland) who asked me to go to war with him against Assyria. I took Assyria's capital which left him 1 city and Poland branded me a "Warmonger" whilst also having a bright green positive "We fought together against a common foe".
It's stupid.

Do you have BNW installed? There are a lot of people on steam with the same issue, they usually aren't on the latest expansion for example.

Denounce them before you declare. Anyone who likes you a lot more will jump on the denounce bandwagon and you'll get bro points instead of jerk points. You also get major jerk points for declaring on someone you previously had good relations with.
If you want to DOW a civ you've been trading with and that likes you, your best bet is to bribe them to declare war on a third party. When they do, you denounce your former friend. The third party gives you bro points for the mutual denouncing, plus heaps more bro points for fighting a common enemy when you actually declare; meanwhile everyone else hates your enemy for warmongering so they like you too.
If you become a warmonger when fighting a defensive war, it's usually because people don't like you or do like your enemy.
Alright... some funny shizzy is happening in my game.
I turn my head away and then turn back and notice some cities seemed to have flipped to French civilization! (Is this culture related or something).
How was this accomplished? (I am not at war with them).
