Sorry if this is dumb: you know sometimes when you build a district but placing it has a warning like “this will remove woods” or such, does doing this have a chopping bonus too? or it has to be chopped with a builder first?

In that case, what effect does ability have in the city he was activated in? I initially assumed it was a global effect like you mentioned but then there was a second activation available so I got confused

Posted on r/civ: Is there a way to legally get a digital copy of Civ 1 and 2?
I was thinking that in anticipation of Civ 6, I would play a game each of Civ 1-5. I have 3-5 on Steam, but any copy of Civ 1 and 2 have been lost to the sands of time

Posted on r/civ: Quick achievements question: For achievements that count things across multiple playthroughs, does it count when I use a different computer?
I’ve been travelling for a few months and have been playing Civ V on my laptop where I already sunk 300+hours into my desktop back home. Will any mines I built/forests I chopped/etc count towards my totals back home?
Thanks!

I would assume the Gold Edition Upgrade is for people who dont yet have G&K and the other current DLC, so that they can upgrade to Gold edition without having to rebuy everything.

Posted on r/civ: Civ5 question
Is there a way to disable those leader messages that I don’t really have to respond to? Like when they denounce me, or “I see you’ve become friends with [country]”? Also the CS popup when you first meet them. It’s like those things can just be little notifications on the right side.

Posted on r/civ: Academy + tile resources question
Does having a GS build an Academy add resources on the tile to your trade network? I put an Academy on a Gems tile but I didn’t have Mining yet, I assumed I would just get the happiness bonus once I got Mining, but I haven’t.

I see, I lost a gems for no reason then. Thanks!

Posted on r/civ: Offline strategy guide/tips for Civ5 G&K?
Hi,
I’m gonna be travelling for a bit, and I’m looking for a PDF or something else (maybe a single web page that I can save) that I can read offline while I’m travelling. I’m looking for the sort of thing that I can read off the civfanatics forums, but I dont want to have to save each thread individually? Just thought I’d post here on the off chance that someone one knows something like this somewhere.
Thanks!

I’d just delete the extra workers and keep maybe 2-3 that I can sleep somewhere safe. (Depends on your number of cities). You’re going to need them again later as tech progresses (new resources become available, or railroads)

I wish admirals were more useful

it wasn’t long ago that I was putting roads/railroads on every tile possible rather than just linking cities
I remember doing this back in Civ1, because roads/rails gave tiles a trade bonus and there was no maintenance penalty for having too many roads. At that time too, rails cost ZERO movement points, which meant railing my entire continent = units instantly move from one end to the other at will. Good times lol

It’s a chance to be friendly with them and earn their favor. I usually just say no

I wish they’d add these random events to Civ5, they’re really fun.

This is a great idea. I would enjoy marathon, except it takes forever and a half to build anything

Civ V is a perfectly fine game. It’s never been particularly buggy for me.

Posted on r/civ: Civ5 - Stuck at “Please wait”
I havent played civ5 in a while and I thought I’d give the latest patch a go. I find that every so often the game hangs between turns - it’s stuck with “Please wait” and the mouseover message says it is waiting for other human players (it’s a singleplayer game obviously). It’s not that it’s just taking too long to complete, it seems to be stuck in some sort of infinite loop. I left it running for 10-15 minutes at one point with no luck.
When i get to this state I need to load a few turns back and change a few decisions. If I just do the same things, the game will hang again.
Anyone encountering this? Not sure if it’s a problem with my particular save, gonna try to start another game.

Thanks and upvotes to those who answered. Holy crap that was stupid. I had to reenable auto unit cycling to figure out which unit was holding me up

Posted on r/civ: Anyone here purchased the Spain, Inca, Polynesia civs?
Are they ok? The DLCs are all on sale today so I’m thinking of getting them.

I remember back during Civ1, the civilopedia descriptions were in plain text files somewhere in the program directory. I used a bunch of these in a school report I believe.

In real life, you cannot ask infinite numbers of soldiers or tanks or whatever to occupy the a finite area.
A single unit in civ represents just enough numbers of that unit that can fully occupy whatever amount of area a single hex represents.

Reply to 'A few basic questions.' on /r/civ:
I think there’s a wonder that halves the amount of unhappiness generated by the number of cities. Combine that with keeping per-city population low (to reduce unhappiness from total population), it should work.
