I was doing a civilization with a computer, then I bought another computer and downloaded it to that computer. However, I don't see the mod list, and I don't see anything in the mod folder. I can't see it even after reinstalling, what should I do?

I'm Korean. Please understand that I used a translator

Most tend to agree that Poland and the science powerhouses tend to be the most powerful civilizations in this game under random circumstances.

But what about when you're on a world map with true start locations (which is what I often like to play)?

In my experience, England is a crazy powerhouse. It's very difficult to get across the English channel, and once they get longbows and ships of the line, it's just ridiculous.

Another nominee is the Shoshone - they're pretty powerful on their own but also enjoy some extraordinary advantages being in the NW of North America, pretty far away from their nearest rivals the Aztecs and the Iroquois, and by the time their borders start to hit they've usually started to snowball in tech and army to be able to conquer the Americas with ease.

Meanwhile, Poland is stuck in the middle of Eurasia surrounded by aggressive neighbors while enjoying only mediocre natural resources. They kinda have to be the most powerful civ to survive there at all, let alone thrive.

Thoughts?

My next playthrough is going to be on Quick with no reloading old saves no matter what happens. Seems like it would be a challenge. I'll have to try Emperor at first... what do you guys think? Am I signing up for a bad time?

i've been playing on prince for a long time and now decided to give king a try. lets just say it was really close between me and siam but i pulled through at the last second !!

but king was challenging in a good way so im gonna keep playing on it , really proud of myself !

Hi all!

I found a post from 2 years ago with this guide: https://github.com/TeaDrinkingProgrammer/Civilization-V-Vox-Populi-on-Linux

Te issue is that basically asks for using the Windows version through proton and mod that version, but currently there's a known issue preventing the windows version to work on the deck (game just won't launch).

If anyone made this work and throw a line this way I would appreciate it a lot :D

For those who don't know, Vox populi is a overhaul mod for Civ 5 that changes Civ UA, policies, and beliefs, it adds new buildings and new units, it adds new gameplay mechanics like vassels, monopolies, trading technologies, historical events, different tech tree and etc.

the mod also changes the AI to make it way more competitive and smarter, my biggest problem with civ 5 was how the late game was boring and sluggish, thankfully Vox Populi fixes this issue by making the AI more antagonistic towards you if you get closer to winning, even if you're pulling ahead, they'll try to find a way to drag you back down either by declaring war against you, taking over your CS allies, or working together against you in the world congress, this made the late game way more interesting instead of waiting around for the victory screen. I highly recommend Vox populi mod, if you are tired of vanilla civ and looking for new content, it's amazing.

Hi! I am doing a multiplayer game with 2 friends and i want to surprise them with a diplomatic Victory. (With DLC).

I play Washington, à friend persia and another poland. The one playing poland have a huge technology advance and i need to beat him diplomaticaly before he send a ship to space.

I am allied to à lot of city states and have built the wonder for more vote, but as soon they will realise i am trying to win that way, they will attack the city state which I am allied and then me..

Its à 8 player game, how much vote should i expect to have to win at the first vote? And when will it happen?

Hope you will help me, my honor is on the table 😂 thank you !!!!!!!

A wierd little strat I thought I'd share. I came up with this as an excuse to change up my usual playstyle. It's very simple and worked surprisingly well.

1. Settle coastal
2. Open liberty
3. Settle many (as many as you can afford) coastal cities
4. Build shrines
5. Take the "messenger of the gods" pantheon (which usually isn't too competitive)

This maximises the effect of Carthage's free harbours to generate gold (from city connection), happiness (through liberty policy), and science (through pantheon)

Once you reach the medieval era exploration is a no brainer for its flat bonuses to coastal cities production gold and happiness, which benefits the many small cities nicely.

After this remember to take advantage of cargo ships and go for your preferred victory type. I have won on emperor with this strategy after destroying most AI cities with a frigate rush (continents map type).

If you're looking to change up the 4 city tradition game and try out underused policies, pantheons, and civs then I'd suggest giving it a go!

Probably not just Civ 5 but...

I'm left with this phantom impression that I was a great and important leader in some past life. I find myself muttering under my breath that I need more gold or soldiers or whatnot.

Sometimes I take on that persona in business and I swear that some of that confidence comes from having absolutely having crushed enemies (in Civ lol).

Is this anyone else?

Venice is the weakest AI.

Venice is considered terrible in multiplayer.

Single player as Venice is crazy OP. Immortal games become a cakewalk, especially if you are on the coast of a decent ocean.

Just one city to manage is a nice break.

Decent chance at wonders.

Overflowing with gold the entire game from double trade routes.

Seize and prosperous and strategically located City-State with all their units whenever.

Don't build an army. Buy one.

Who else loves playing as Venice? They are easily 1/4 of my games.

Am I the only person that plays this game to Escape the stresses of everyday life and then find Myself even more stressed 🤔

How do most of you play? Regular or Legendary Start?

One of my neighbors, England, hasn’t yet picked an ideology despite having reached the Modern Age for more than 20 turns already. Other AI neighbors had already chosen theirs. Do you know if this is a bug or that it could indeed happen in a game?

Also I’m playing with the Vox Populi mod too.

Hi gang, Can't use certain leaders in mod maps like Arnold, sexbang etc. They can pop up randomly but can't choose them. Can in single player mode though. Any ideas on how to fix this? Cheers

Title. Same for admirals, always seems weird that they're so vulnerable. In early Total War games your generals and leaders were still vulnerable but had an elite bodyguard which made it a risky but effective strategy to put them into conflict.

Long time Civ5 player, but haven't had it on my PC for awhile. Just installed it, went to my video settings and they will not revert from this. I can change my screen resolution and everything that isnt set to "Low", but that is all. GPU Texture Decode is grayed out and I cannot select it. Let me rephrase, I can change those settings, but when I restart like I am told I have to, they go right back to this. I have Googled my brains out on it and nothing. Anyone got any ideas? Oh, and before you ask, my system is more than capable of running this. Included screenshot of the settings...
