Firaxis is looking for a Multiplayer Programmer!
Firaxis is now looking for a Multiplayer Programmer. Not for new systems, but to "[m]aintain, improve and/or refactor existing systems" and "[s]upport existing matchmaking systems". Good news for Civilization V!? Since it's release Civ5 has suffered from many issues in multiplayer games. So far Firaxis and 2K Games have promised to look at these issues in the future, but not in the patches that are currently in development. This future may start as soon as this new programmer has been found.

Welcome-1on1-Cup at CivLiga.de
...
Mark of the German MP community:
The Civilization 5 - European League is going to host a Welcome-1on1-Cup on October, 29th 2010!
Althought Civilization V was released on 21st of September the game is not
free of bugs. Therefore the game is facing some problems in the Multiplayer-Mode which made it hard for the League to get a good and smooth start.
Errors and crashes are mostly gone now and therefore we are going to
host a Cup for the community!
Of course there will be some nice prices to win! The first price will be a Sid Meier's Civilization V - Special Edition worth around 80 €! Furthermore players can win original Civilization 5 T-Shirts, Stickers and Buttons!

Mirrored Pangae and Continents Maps for Civ5

Mirrored Pangae and Continents Maps for Civ5
Edit by jobe: LDeska created mirrored versions of Pangae and Continents following the tradition of his great maps from Civ4. While mirrored maps may not be everyone´s choice in Single Player, they are - now in Civ5 more then ever - very important for Multi Player.
...
Especially if you plan on playing a duel, the mirroed Pangae could be a great choice since while allowing for lots of attack angles it provides equal resources and land to both players.
I created this map script for our ranking games. It is ideally mirrored - terrain, rivers, features, natural wonders, starting positions etc (I haven't mirrored ruins as we do not use this random aspect of game).
Example of map generated by this script:

Persian Permanent Golden Age
This strategy is basically an exploit of unbalanced game mechanics. If you get all parts of it together - and that is not too hard even on the highest difficulty levels in Single Player - you will be at a big advantage whatever your game might look like. All-in-all the strategy works well even if you miss on the 2-3 wonders you´re especially interested in. Be aware that there is a bug increasing Persian Golden Ages to ridiculous numbers. This strategy is not based on this bug - depending on the settings and game plan, you´ll be in Golden Age most of the game bug or not. In Civ5 tile yields have been generally decreased compared to Civ4, while Golden Ages still provide one additional production and gold to every tile that already generates either. Furthermore Golden Ages are much easier accessible: Excess happiness leads to it, Cultural Policies can trigger one, there is Taj Mahal and most importantly Great People including Great Generals can launch it. Finally GAs last slightly longer by default than in Civ4. Basically Golden Ages are stronger by default, yet easier accessible than in Civ4. Enter Persia:

An interesting article at The Escapist about Civilization and some of the goings-on behind the scenes at Firaxis:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/arti...s-Civ-V-Studio
I have a lot of problems with the methods Firaxis tested this with. Turning off barbs, limiting AI expansion ... those are two critical factors for how big an impact waiting to found your first city will be.
I myself like to move the other unit first, see if there's a good spot to move the Settler to in a couple of turns or less. A river hill is is hard to pass up moving to. The extra production from the hill will pay off the first move very quickly.
How about you? In what circumstances do you feel moving the Settler is a good idea?...March 1, 2014, 00:41 -
joystiq reports that Civilization V may get another expansion, based on a listing in the Steam Apps Database. Neither Firaxis nor 2K Games commented on this finding.

Civilization 5 Patch 1.0.2.13 has been released. That is the big patch announced for this fall. It contains many fixes and tweaks and also support for Windows 8 touch screen support. Here is the list with full patch notes highlighted are the things that were not in the announcement earlier this year:
BUG FIXES
General- Mod Browser - The "Get Mods" button is now hidden if the user has disabled the steam overlay.
Civilizations and Traits- Ottoman naval upkeep is now fixed. Save games that were started before the fix will not be corrected.
- German UA and Oligarchy social policy now work together correctly.
City States- Mercantile CS now only get a unique luxury for their first city (and not the cities they conquer). Unique luxury is removed upon capture (players can no longer get it by taking over a CS). Unique luxury is given back upon liberation.
- Prevent double counting of resources when an improvement is gifted to a minor civ, then the minor civ techs up to activate the improvement.
