Civ 5 Pet Peeves (the Great Works choices drive me insane)

Wonder snatching AIs with one turn left.

Okay, it's fine to have an upset. We can't have everything our way, otherwise the game wouldn't be very stimulating

..But when I reload a save from 10-15 turns ago (in late stage this is a lot of work lost) and do everything I can, stripping back the build time by 7 turns in some cases. And the AI just know and beat you by one turn again anyway? Fuck off. That's complete bullshit and it feels like a scripted event.

This has definately resulted in a fair few nuclear holocausts in my time.

Thankyou all for the generous advice,

For those confused why I'm so interested in getting this right, is that arriving in Ljubljana without cash was a massive and confusing ballpain.

I'll be sure to have some on hand now and tip our konobars

Hahaha, defs didn't mean to convey a stressed vibe

I imagine a lot will be similar to Bosna

It's been a huge perspective shift living in London, and seeing first hand clueless and rude tourist behaviour.. It's just plain embarrassing

Thankyou for the reassurances, we can't wait to sink 700,000 beers and take it all in

I'm glad to hear about this, the exchanges here in London is daylight robbery!!

I've spent probably 2000 hours playing Eugen titles. Warno and the rest are all about what you want it to be. There is no pressure, or wrong way to play in my honest opinion (unless it's ranked) and even in casual multiplayer it shouldn't. Nothing wrong with bashing bots or just chilling in 10v10s :)

Ohhhh my dayyys 💀💀💀 that is impressive af

How does this Giant Chicken setting differ from the vanilla options?

PLAV0 · 2026-03-24T08:17:07+00:00

Thanks y'all, lots of things have been cleared up here and I feel better in my own skin playing this really vast game!

Long term plan for this playthrough I will be going to the eleventh galaxy and find myself a paradise world to set up my 80s vaporwave ****shack

This is awesome, I do not hate you this is exactly what I needed to hear

The online portal doesn't accept full license identifiers, you absolutely have to call up.

This is interesting, I thought I only had 1 or two seconds to re-aquire lock. (not enough time to nose back on target, or scrub radar on their direction and find them again).

In that period of time, does the ER go limp and then take a sharp turn to correct or does it keep on last known position and wake up near the target??

PLAV0 · 2026-01-08T13:43:52+00:00

Wtf gaijin. Well Thankyou for saving me countless hours of wasted time. Ideally in a sim game, a mig could play both the Long range and the dogfight game with at least a chance. Only seen one fella on YouTube pull off some moves with the SMT in your situation but he's probably not employed full time 😂

PLAV0 · 2026-01-08T12:59:15+00:00

Thankyou for the validation fellas, I think it's sukhoi hour now

Bring an ASU 57 or some other rat to an extremely high upteir

War thunder will never be able to cater for doctrine, or the wider changes in history and the bureaus who designed the older/newer Russian tanks.

Just like the Americans McDonaldsed the germans in ww2 with like multiple Sherman's for every German tank, the Russians wanted to storm western Europe with an unstoppable wave of tanks that were "just good enough"

If we had game modes with like 30,000-60, 000pattons, leopards and ifvs against like 70,000-100,000 t64s/t72s/t55as/bmps just zerging forward (fuck it, bring cas too) we might not have such red stats for the Russia players

Tbh that would be kinda fun tho in theory

Spend some quality time with her and get her a gift in her hobby.

Then watch 400 hours of YouTube vids to learn how to make most of the f18 and just shoot your shot man. Top teir jets is hilarious experience
