Civilization V

Gods & Kings kinda broke it even more though, A.I. Civilizations that have never met you or seen any of your cities can still put spies in them! WTF!?

I'm new to civ so be gentle. Finally got round to playing at just played my first game. After several hours it said I won due to time, is that it? Is the replayability of this just replaying again or going mp?

Or should I be looking at custom scenarios?

Also looking at the gods and kings expansion but feel I am missing something to complete the game so soon so holding off on the expansion to get the most out of the main game first. Is this the right way to do it?

Crank up the difficulty if you want to be challenged. I played G&K's early this year and I think I got mashed at level 4/prince I dread to think how hard the game is on max difficulty.

Hey I picked up Gods and Kings and loaded up an earth map with the Dutch to sadly start in a desert. Hate random maps !!

Can anyone recommend a good real earth map with real locations and resources as I guess there is a good few to choose from?
 
I'd recommend the "Yet (not) another Earth Mod"

You can have an absolutely massive map with true locations for nations and city states with balanced or geographically accurate resources.

Edit : On a game I played as Washington turns eventually took a good few minutes due to the size and complexity of the map, I have a 3.8Ghz IB + 8Gb Ram as well :) just a heads up.

Not at all, lost count of the amount of times I'd get a message saying 'one of your techs was stolen by an Unknown Civilization!'.

How would they have an embassy in my capital if I'd never met them and they weren't able to access my diplomatic screen? :p

These are the Civ's who are literally ( ? ) on my Civ leaderboards etc, never met them or seen on of their cities at all yet they are stealing my ****. Remember a Civ can't find your cities without introducing themselves to you, there i no way to fly below the radar in this game (one of my main gripes with it).

Is it for G&K or vanilla Civ 5 only?
 
Picked up the complete collection for Civ 5 in the Steam sale, my first ever Civ game... it's like crack, can't seem to stop playing :P Had some random questions, if anyone knows

If I found a city on a luxury resource, like horses, do I lose the horses? also I guess the same questions for any tile such as a hill with 2 production, if I settle on it do I lose the 2 production?

As long as your happiness stays above 0, does it matter how much you have? the in game help just says basically try not to let it go under 1.

How can I expand the great wall? I did some Googling on this and apparantly it's something to do with culture? some people say saving and then loading that save will expand the border but it didn't for me.

I know workers can create farms on land, and basically improve any tile... but can I improve water tiles that don't have a resource in them like fish and crab? or are they just useless? I tried putting a worker in a boat and moving to a random water tile but it did nothing.
 
You can put cities on luxury and strategic resources and you won't loose them. You get the resource/luxury even if you don't have the tech to improve it too I think.

More happiness is better as you get Golden Ages more often. Also 50% of happiness can be turned into culture with a Piety social policy.

The Great Wall will go around the cultural borders of the city that built it. Reloading the game will expand the walls.

You can't improve regular water tiles.

Thanks for that :) good to know about the luxury resources! Also with regards to the great wall, I reloaded the game but the walls didn't move, they were in the same place which covered about 1/3 of my territory. Not sure why though.
 
Has this had any major performance tweaks recently? Haven't played it in a while as when it was getting to the later part of the game it became unplayable due to the waiting times between turns. Ended up going back to Civ 4, however I picked up the G&K expansion for £2.50 so will be having a go again when I get chance.

The delay between turns is just the A.I. civilizations calculating their moves, the time it takes completely depends on your CPU power and CPS.
