Encountered a really annoying bug. I made peace with Siam about 80 turns ago, but the time has come for hostilities to be renewed and the game will not allow me to declare war on him as it says we have a peace treaty....a treaty which expired loooong ago, even according to the deal histories, diplomacy screens, everything. We're not at peace and there's nothing I can do about it

I thought the point about war was that you could do it even if it did break treaties... its not as if you have to be polite about declaring war and massacring millions ><
That's the problem though - I researched Mathematics ages ago, and now that I need to build a courthouse it's strangely disappeared from my building list
Have you accepted tribute from them recently?
I'm starting to miss the point of Deity... it seems looking at the civ fanatics site the majority of the people who play it focus on laming it rather than actually playing it. My personal favourite are the 'guides' that basically say "play x map, restart till you spawn near the centre, rush to the enemies, restart of they have a 2nd city" and so on basically restarting until they get the perfect set of occurances instead of actually playing the game. There are some interesting ones like playing it to win the Space Race by focusing on keeping all your opponents engaged in war so they spend less time advancing but the Conquest and Domination seem to pretty much focus on winning asap before the challenge of Deity comes about.

Basically, if you have a peace treaty in effect, you cannot declare war - it's usually only 10 or 30 turns long - it stops you from agreeing peace with a huge payout (for example, when they have three cities left and they offer two of them to get you to stop thrashing them), then immediately launching into war again and finishing the job.
According to the tech guy on the official 2K forums, it's related to too many treaties breaking at the same time, some of them don't register properly.
I find that I can't buy a courthouse in an annexed city, but I can build it. Never had it disappear from my building list unless I've already built it though.That's the problem though - I researched Mathematics ages ago, and now that I need to build a courthouse it's strangely disappeared from my building list
I've never played Diety before, I'm trying to lame it for the achievement.
I'll wait until I have the map editor, that will make it easy
At least you admit it, i'd of done the same thing for it
True, hadn't thought of that. Perhaps its possible to force a declaration of war by allying with someone else and having them declare war on them, which i *think* forces you to also.

That's the only hope I have left. There are now four civs left, including me, plus about 8 city states. I am hoping beyond all hope that he'll ally with one of them, cos then I'll declare war on whoever and hope they join in. Fingers crossed, cos otherwise I'll just have to start over.
But there are other ways to win
That would work too but i was meaning you could try and get an ally to declare war on them instead by making them dislike em.

I bought this on Steam not even 10 minutes ago and it's downloaded and installed already! Going to give it a go later....
I can't bear to play this 'cos the fan noise on my GTX280 is driving me nuts. Seems there's a load of complaints on 2K forums regarding how hot this game is making GPU's. I really don't understand how something that barely has any effects or animations and is essentially a 2D tile game can stress a GPU so much
limit the frame rate if you can it might be thatt he game is just running as fast as it can get from the gfx card.
onegame had it on the main menu screen and it just made cards get insanely hot as they where running 100% all the time just rendering a plain picture basically.
That happened in starcraft 2 and caused some gpu's to overheat and die , but was fixed in a patch
I had a quick go on the demo last night, didn't really understand what I was doing but I kinda liked it
Does the full game come with a decent manual?
You can get the manual online. But there is no big book per se.

Wasn't that The Sims 3 or something? Ran the graphics card at 100% on the release version. I remember someone a while back had pirated it and it burnt out his new graphics card

Increase the science output of your cities with buildings, or change the Citizen Allocation thing to specialise individual cities (top right of the city screen).
Other ways, yes, but my OCD dictates that the entire continent should belong to me - and that git isn't gonna declare war unless he's stronger than me - which has obviously unpleasant implications - am very much hoping the city-state thing happens....But there are other ways to win
