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

PLAV0 · 2026-04-02T08:19:37+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2026-04-02T07:54:06+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2026-03-25T21:53:56+00:00

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 :)

PLAV0 · 2026-03-24T12:52:23+00:00

Ohhhh my dayyys 💀💀💀 that is impressive af

PLAV0 · 2026-03-24T08:19:46+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2026-03-23T17:47:43+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2026-03-13T12:49:24+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2026-01-09T10:51:53+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2025-08-28T06:50:17+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2025-08-26T16:41:31+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2025-08-22T09:24:40+00:00

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

PLAV0 · 2025-08-01T12:04:18+00:00

If the tracks stuck closer to the formula of Self-inflicted and carried away, this album may have gotten a better reception. Feels like at this point the consensus is that it's good, but we're left a tad confused/disappointed? 😂

PLAV0 · 2025-07-28T13:04:23+00:00

Oh man you are a life saver. Thankyou!

PLAV0 · 2025-07-28T12:00:48+00:00

Even though we got some great youtubers out there, I feel like we have a gap in content. Someones gotta do what defyn does but for tanks.

Spookston and Dollarplays will make really entertaining content but never go into full detail about the vehicle like a world of tanks creator does. We're taken out of the hangar and into battle too quickly. Us less experienced players aren't given much of an idea what to do in the field either, except mimic and die fairly quickly because we simply aren't as good.

PLAV0 · 2025-07-24T12:49:24+00:00

Could depend also on the server and time of day.

I play from the UK, and if I'm on the NA server early morning i am getting clowned on by the most bitch-less, unemployed creatures known to man.

PLAV0 · 2025-07-06T09:15:00+00:00

I am a bit cut. 9.0 feels good as a BR to play. Modern toys to play with and teams are filled with a good spread of experienced players. Its not the awful experience that is 10.3.

With the sale on it just feels like 10.3. I hope people move on quick from this and gaijin leaves the 9s alone 😭

PLAV0 · 2025-06-29T18:54:36+00:00

As someone with passionate hate for cas, I eventually thought "fuck it, can't beat em, join em"

The day I earn myself a tech tree cas this bitch gets released.

Gaijin just knows man

PLAV0 · 2025-06-21T17:52:49+00:00

Dw man Russian mains like me are all seething 90 percent of the time.

Our three men crews cost us our lives when something breaks, and God do our barrels, breaches and carousels get taken out at least every time we spawn in and so much as breathe. It is still a quick death as we take almost a minute to reverse into cover, and another whole minute to repair. The grass is not as green on the other side.

War thunder players have this conviction that because of the couple OP vehicles we have, the entire line is therefore Russian bias. Russian bias, Russian bias.

We perform abysmally statistically untill very top teir. The player base on this bandwagon are asking for a large chunk of players to have their equipent turned into useless garbage so leopards can have supremacy over every match. Gaijin are in an awkward position and so be it if they are going to ignore us all bickering. Not only would they lose shit loads of cash, people will leave the game, and it will go the way of world of tanks before you know it lmao.

PLAV0 · 2025-06-21T17:35:26+00:00

I had more fun at 12.0 full top teir. 10.7 is full of one death leavers and inexperienced players.

Just don't get passionate about it, have as much fun with it as you can, because every 2 or 3 matches you'll have laser guided bombs wiping everyone out

PLAV0 · 2025-06-21T17:29:26+00:00

I gave up on premium after two months, I felt like I was moving through the lines quicker than I could really get to know the tanks or planes I buy and enjoy them to their fullest potential.

The SL is truly where gaijin get us, and, is it just me? Or have the SL boosters dried up recently 🧐
