So I just noticed that one my cities is producing like mad, 100k hammer. My Capital is barely reaching 1k hammer, what kinda bug is that?

I just noticed it now (yeah am bad) but 20 turns or so ago the city just went mad.

Idk if relevant, but am using four mods that didn't come with the VP installer- More Unique Comp for VP, Improved City View, InfoAddict, Quick Turns.

I've been churning quite a few games already these past few weeks, first time this happens.

One of my city started producing an absurd amount, what is happening?

Pretty much the title.... Does anyone know the order of the buildings in which city state give you quests to build?

They give you influence and production in your capital once completed. My previous game it really helped with completing wonders when I timed them right.

 My current game I forgot about them and missed some good hammers and it also seemed that the buildings that were requested were really new and expensive buildings just discovered by latest tech advancement and so I found it difficult to finish them off in a timely manner.

Thanks in advance!

City state quests: order for buildings?

Fighting a naval war with Rome, despite having destroyers and dreadnaughts and subs It still takes multiple ships more than 1 turn to take out 1 ironclad, whereas I lose a ship immediately if I have it out of place. Is there something I’m missing or are promotions just that strong?

They also took an island city with walls and a castle and a garrisoned destroyer in 1 turn.

Dear VP subreddit,

This mod is one of my favorite games to play, but I no longer have a PC to do so. I was curious if there was any ongoing effort to create a 'Vox Populi' mod for Unciv, which is a mobile port of CIV 5.

Thank you.

I will buy a new monitor and PC hardware (CPU & GPU), and an important goal is to play Civilization 5 on a large, high-resolution monitor (32+", 4K resolution).

* What [monitor resolutions](https://preview.redd.it/j2lqhvz0eun11.jpg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=74bf93ded999503029d4809cfdc2e39cb2841a26) does our VP community use? See table 
* I'd love feedback on Civ5 and other specs for Civ5 (further below)

> "a normal player (not in the competitive scene), or if you play normal-paced games (MMO, RTS, etc), then these [>60 Hz] screens will usually not benefit you that much." 

  

##MONITOR RESPONSE TIME (ms) 
QUESTION 1: *Do we agree that response time less than 10ms doesn't improve the Civ5 experience (if it would even be noticeable)?*

[Logical Increments] (https://www.logicalincrements.com/monitors#:~:text=below%2010ms%20is%20good%2C%20and%20below%205ms%20is%20great.) reports
> "below 10ms is good, and below 5ms is great"  

QUESTION 2: if a 60Hz monitor has 10ms response time, is that compatible with a 16.67 Frame Push Rate Monitor [Hunter's Fact Sheet](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1illeNLsUfZ4KuJ9cIWKwTDUEXUVpplhUYHAiom-FaDo/edit?tab=t.0)?

##FRAMES PER SECOND (FPS)
QUESTION: *Because Civ5 is not photographic/life-like, do we agree that there is little (if any) benefit to pushing beyond 60 FPS?*

Vox Populi on a 4k monitor

I keep on running into the issue of my military units being much weaker from the lack of promotions compared to the AI’s whenever I play peaceful (science/culture) and not focusing on war. I tried to always destroy any barbarians around me to get some exp for promotion, but I always found that my units are still behind in terms of promotions. What are some tips to circumvent this problem? Is the solution just try to take some of the other civ’s cities to maintain strong military? Thank you in advance.

As a follow up from my question a few days ago, I want to play a game with India and make the most of their crazy farms. Does anyone know what map and maps settings would produce a good amount of flood plains? Or to put that another way, desert with plenty of rivers. 
Ideally it would also be easily defensible as I hope to play peacefully (although in VP that's basically impossible)
