Wow, so they fired up the "you only get one city until you bankroll more" civ and are somehow surprised that they don't get settlers? Man, some people really shouldn't be allowed to play games until they pass a literacy test and make a sworn statement that they actually look at information that is provided to them.

Tithe has been 1 gold per 4 for at least a month now. Didn't play before that.

thehumandignity posted:It was originally 2 but it got nerfed a long time ago, not a new change to BNW. The one that gives you gold for every city that follows the faith is 2 gold, though. Church Property, I think? Also, I am among those waiting for a code. From Green Man Gaming, in this case, but I guess it is a problem higher up than them. That same picture in the post I quoted, if I look on the same place, it's listed at July 9th, so maybe it's just reading you as being someplace other than NA?

Anyone else having issues turning the DLC on? It shows up under DLC, I check it... won't enable. I've validated my install, I've restarted Steam... any ideas?

thehumandignity posted:It probably is, if that's what it was advertised as, but when I ordered it it had the big "July 9th" banner over it that some people are posting screenshots of now. Now, the game's page on the GMG store says 12th. That isn't cool. It's not a big deal to me, certainly not enough to cancel the charge, or swear off buying from GMG again, or even enough to complain to them, but it isn't okay. http://i.imgur.com/3AwBnX5.jpg Totally still the same and they totally didn't magically change it on you.

I feel to clear up some confusion GMG had 2 pages for Brave New World, a EU one and an NA one. http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/strategy/sid-meiers-civilization-v-brave-new-world-na/ The NA one does not say July 12th. It in fact says the 9th. RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jul 9, 2013 |

Welp, I think this game is lost. Suleimon was postering aggressively but I was confident that I had enough composites to hold him off. Then he built the Terracotta army and, well, gently caress. Gonna see how long I can hold him off but he's doing a rather good impression from sheer mass.

I'm not in the US but previously I always saw the "July 9th" banner that everyone else seems to. Now I see this. I don't particularly mind waiting until the 12th, but it isn't right to change something like that on someone after they've already paid.

Ok got it to work thanks to the steam forums: "Hi, if you got BNW but it doesn't show up when lauching civ, here is what you have to do... go to your steam folder and look for your expansions: \SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\assets\DLC\Expansion and \SteamApps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization V\assets\DLC\Expansion2 and check your files, you are missing one .dll file in the expansion2 folder. Copy that .dll file from the Expansion folder to the Expansion2 folder and rename it to: CvGameCore_Expansion2.dll and you should be ready to go!" The problem is it's using the G&K UI so I still can't play, at least I can look at the pretty things... *edit* An alternative is to steal a friend's real .dll file and it works perfectly.

The Zulu unique promotions are hideously good With an Ikanda you can buy Spearmen straight up with Buffalo Chest AND Buffalo Horns right out the gate. +50% to flanking total, +10% in open terrain, +20% defense against ranged attacks, and +1 movement. Get one promotion extra and you can tack on the third and final promotion for another +25% to flanking, another 10% against ranged, and a flat +10% combat strength.

I bought a key from Amazon US and am currently downloading BNW through Spotflux. It's going surprisingly well for a free VPN, jumping between 500KB/s and 2MB/s. I'd only ever used VPNs to unlock pre-loads before, does anyone know what happens when I turn off the VPN? As far as I know with pre-loads it would re-encrypt the files, will Steam just delete the BNW files?

Morocco with Petra strikes me as insanely broken. Their Kashbah tile improvement gives another +1 food, producton, and gold to desert tiles. edit: It's pretty funny that the strength of a Civ in this game is pretty much inversely proportional to how strong they were historically.

Hmm Civ5 just crashed just as I was starting to throw out battleships as a Venice diplo victory. Probably going to do a culture or domination victory now. Venice thoughts:
Also counterintuitively for a nation that eats city states, I think diplomacy or domination are their easiest victories. OCC culture is weird now so I dunno how to pull it off but Venice makes so much money I was keeping control of all the city states even with Lizzy in the game stealing them with spies constantly. The other option is to just buy a huge army and go crush people. uPen fucked around with this message at 08:31 on Jul 9, 2013 |

The choices you pick from goodie huts with Pathfinders seems to cycle back in after a couple huts. Combined with the ability to upgrade Pathfinders to Composite Bowmen, this seems absurdly good.

Woo for new thread. I managed to get some scratch together a buy the expansion before I lost my 10% discount, so I'm pleased. Starting up my first game as a random civ continents game on King so I can learn the new mechanics. And my civ will be... Askia. HAHA, TIME FOR PILLAGING!
