I haven't even figured out how to switch expansions off. I wanted to check whether the G&K intro video was as morally preachy as the BNW one (I didn't remember it being that way), but there's no "view cinematics" option ingame, and I also couldn't find a "switch BNW off" option. I guess you can probably uninstall it? Presumably savegames require you to have the correct version loaded.

You do realize that in the main menu, right abow exit, there is an option called DLC, where you can turn on and off dlc..

That option isn't saved for me. If I exit and start Civ again, it'll be back to BNW, so it'll play that video again, not G&K.

hi, I have Civ V Vanilla but I never bothered to get G&K. Am I able to skip straight to BNW? What features (if any) will I miss out on if I do?

Also, is BNW on sale anywhere?

Nothing. You only miss out some civs.

AND religion!. I don't think it lets u skip G&K though. there are some other cool features in G&K that's better than vanilla but 90% sure u need G&K to get BNW

The Steam store page for BNW only mentions it requires Civ5, nothing else.

would like to know this as well, last game I was situated in north America with Shoshone yet again.
Spain was in a backward corner of that continent too, I was lucky with the religious start up and converted... well everything.

So all his towns are now my religion, including his capital/holy site.
15 turns later I get 4 prophets in my territory..... granted I screwed her over as well with religion but 4 was a bit much to handle without declaring war.

took me quite some time to recover from her spammage.

edit : I know of the option in piety and religion but 4 was way more than she should have been able to buy.
(wasn't because of Hagia Sophia either, wasn't finished yet in the world)

try the civfanatics website, they have a very active community and are very civilized – basically the TL.net of civ. check out the war academy section and the strategy forum.

a few tips that improved my game very quickly:

- try to recreate the same scenario as best as you can, and experiment until you are comfortable. civ5 has a "spawn bias" that means until you deactivate it certain civs will always start at locations complimenting them. arabia or morocco will start next to deserts, england next to water, brazil next to jungle and so on. that also means that most of the time you will be near to the same luxury resources. pick a civ and stick with it at first, learn to play out the strength of their unique units (UU) and abilities (UA). find a tech path that unlocks tile improvements and buildings that are necessary, while getting to your UU as quick as possible. choose social policies that compliment your play style.

- limit yourself. a common mistake is to build to much of something: too many settlers/cities, too many workers, too many buildings, too many units (at the wrong time) and too many wonders. each city you build will drop your happiness while increasing the culture requirement for new social policies and decreasing your science output (at first, without libraries etc), workers, units and buildings cost maintenance, and that gold you loose every turn could be used to rush buy certain things, upgrade units or bribe city states. it's very easy to loose yourself in the game, and end up with perfect cities that are soon overrun by enemies, or having a large army of archers and spearmen into the renaissance with no gold to upgrade. balance the production of your cities.

- science is the most important resource. more science means getting to important wonders, buildings, abilities and units quicker. a very common strategy is to tech to philosophy quickly and build a national college asap to boost your tech early. if one of your cities can't build something meaningful switch it's production to science until you unlock new important units/buildings/wonders.

- try to make each city you own a specialist: for example, one city (most often your capital) will have the highest production, use this one to build important wonders. have a city at a strategically important location with baracks/armory to produce units. in BNW, have one city at the edge of your empire with buildings that improve your gold yield from trade routes, and send your caravans from there.

- if a powerful UU requires a certain resource (camel archers need horses, or samurai need iron) have one or two settlers ready upon discovering the tech that reveals the resource so that you can quickly build a city to grab that resource if you don't have one within your borders.

- ranged units are better than melee units. only build 2-3 melee units to capture cities and let your ranged units do they heavy work. until the renaissance era archers/composites/crossbows are also good enough to bring down a city, you don't need siege units until unlocking canons.

Are there any recommended mods to play this game with? I have BNW installed so I assume that limits me quite a bit. I have already installed some building/wonders mod from the Steam Workshop and really enjoy it. I was wondering if there was somewhere that contained a better list/assortment of the mods for this game as the sorting in the Workshop is quite sub-par.

So, what mods do you guys play this game with?

So even if you get a resolution to establish a certain Ideology mass revolutions isn't guaranteed? My fellow Comrades in China have revolted, yet nothing from Autocratic Germany, or Mali...

Electing world ideology puts higher happiness pressure on the 2 other ideologies, 2 levels to be exact. So that's a lot of bonus unhappiness, but autocrats can get +2 happiness from barracks and armory each, so they very well may not care at all :p

Autocracy is so powerful, omg. I like it way more than either Freedom or Order for any empire bigger than about 6 cities.

I have two questions regarding the new expansion. 1. Have you found any evidence the has been some tweaks to the AI? Civ5 is a nice game but the AI gets a bit too obnoxious sometimes. 2. Has there been done anything to reduce the waiting time on a turn when your playing on a huge map with 8+ AI players? Think I clocked one turn waiting on 1 minute and 30 secs once :/
