You can buy games digitally on Steam, but some discs still require it to be downloaded to launch it. Civ is one of them.

Steam needs to be online to update. Please try again later.

I'm playing as the British Empire in a 2-civ game on a small world map. I already conquered the other civ (Murica), and control 3/4 of the world. Now, my cities are starving, and I have no more space for agriculture. So I'm waging an eternal war for my empire's survival against the city-states, which are now massive in the year 2400 AD and boast huge armies. This sounds like something from an Orwellian book... :\

Yay neoimperalism?

Does anyone know if the AI reacts to what victory conditions are in play? I've disabled the time based victory in the hopes of setting up a long lasting game, but someone always gets a diplomatic or culture victory around the same time. I've considered disabling those as well, but I don't want to end up with a game where the other civs completely disregard each other except for research agreements and war.

If they get a victory you can just keep playing.

I got Civ 5 a few weeks ago and I already stopped playing. I just don't feel like playing it anymore. :/

That's my favorite part, along with the landscape around the leaders. Though it's annoying when all they say is 'yes', 'no' and 'make an offer', when they're angry at you.

I like this as well. Though I read that some were wrong or off... I tend to crack up over the ones I understand. A few are really archaic as well.

Genghis, brace yourself, speaks Mongolian. (Hiawatha speaks Mohawk)

I need to complete a game for a change. I have two games open and one scenario, and I recently deleted a few games where I just wasn't going anywhere

Well, update on that.

I conquered the entire world, but there's nuclear fallout covering all of Afro-Eurasia south of the Equator, and North America is a nuclear wasteland.

Welp.

EDIT: To add insult to injury, the rest of my cities are starving.

Ah, was wondering if that was Mongolian but I just wasn't sure.

Yeah, I have heard that most of what they speak are more modern dialects of the languages they speak. It makes sense, I guess, since it's easier to have the actors speak in the modern dialects of their respective languages then try to get them to speak in older dialects that would be more difficult to understand.

So I'm having such an awesome game that I decided to go past victory. I win a cultural victory, and then about 60 years later I build my first spaceship part. I send it to my capital and... nothing. No allowance for adding to the spaceship once I get it in the capital, which is what is supposed to happen. Does anyone know about this.

You can't build the spaceship after you've won, for some idiotic reason.
