They do give out techs and tbh giving out settlers is too much of a early game advantage IMO. I think the ancient ruins are pretty good, a extra population or a upgrade for the units can be very useful early game.

Goody ruins do give out random technologies every now and then. No settlers, but as trucane said, they provide extra population sometimes.

Wow, I've never gotten a tech in the dozen or so games I've played so far. I just don't like how most of them give you a map of the surrounding 10 or so hexes, or 30 gold. Pretty useless if you ask me.

While I normally use DX10/11 exe, I noticed that DX9 exe crashes the game when loading the save game, if using 1.0.0.20 patch included in skidrow's update2. Had this happen with 3 computers I tried it.
If I use DX9 exe from skidrow update1 (also branded as 1.0.0.20) it works properly.
Anyone else had similar experience?
P.S.
Funny enough, LAN game between DX10/11 user with update2 version of game and DX9 user with update1 of the game works properly.

I'm new to this series, but damn does this game feel clumsy. Attacking cities and such is a mess. Perhaps 3 spots open for troops around a city and I have 7 or 8 troops trying to get to it. It is kind of hard to keep your cities satisfied, but i guess that's part of the fun. Overall i think it was rather fun, but too long when playing multiplayer as there is no save option (24 hour gaming won't happen). Think it will be even more fun once i get more hang of it.

Jon Shafer on further updates from Qt3 forums via civfanatics
Patches
| Quote: | Hey guys. Just a quick update. Sorry for the recent absence, I've been traveling quite a bit lately.
There are several things which we are looking at improving with Civ 5. Most of my time since getting back has been spent working on the interface, particularly with making more information accessible. These changes will go out with the next big update in a few weeks. The plan is also to make major revisions to the diplomacy system, and while I can't talk about the details yet, I think you all will find them an improvement. That will be added with an update later this year. Also included will be a number of AI upgrades.
Thanks to all who have purchased the game - the plan is definitely to continue improving the experience for everyone playing. The game isn't perfect, but we feel good about the foundation laid so far, and expect Civ 5 will stand up with every other game out there and continue to get better over time. I can ensure that I'll be working on Civ 5 as long as I'm able to.

 Spoiler: | AI abilities
| Quote: | Just to clear some things up - on Prince the AI plays by almost the exact same rules as the human. It receives a marginal discount to unit gold and supply costs, but that's pretty much it. There's no cheating with construction, gold production, happiness, puppet rules, research agreements, visibility, combat odds or whatever else. It has basic insight into the total military strength of other players, but no more so than what's available to the human via the demographics screen.For anyone digging throught the XML files: there's actually a number of fields from Civ 4 which we never cleaned up, and some of them misrepresent what effects there are on various difficulty levels - so don't take all of those numbers as gospel. The values in the AI strategy files are for steering AI preferences, and have nothing to do with bonuses.
If it seems like the AI has a lot more cities/happiness/units than the human at that level, it's merely that the AI focuses much more on those aspects of the game than a human does (perhaps too much so, in fact - at the expense of buildings and gold, in particular). One of our goals going forward is to shore up some of the biggest and most obvious AI deficiencies. The new rules added to Civ 5 pose a pretty big AI challenge, so we're spending as much time as possible working on this part of the game. |
AI "cheating"
| Quote: | | On higher levels the AI gets bonuses to the production and generation of things like units, buildings, etc. and discounts to costs like maintenance, but it can never "snap its fingers" and make anything appear under any circumstances. How closely it has to obey the game rules does not change based on difficulty level. If an AI signed a RA agreement with someone, it meant they had the requisite gold (for at least one turn) - it may have gotten it from another player, from a goody hut, from disbanding something or even from losing out on a wonder (which they like to build). But it's always legit. |
More on AI cheating
| Quote: | | Quote: | | However, I'm not buying this. The AI often runs outrageous gold deficits which are visible on the trade screen; yet its countless units never seem to get disbanded, as they would for a human player. And those sprawling AI empires surely push its unhappiness into the deep red, especially with a lack of buildings/wonders to compensate; yet the AI never seems to get the unhappiness combat penalty that human players would get. |
Well, when the game core SDK is released you can take a look and let me know where I added these bonuses on accident.
The AI does lose units to disbanding, but it's a slow process (just as it is for a human). I think psychology plays in here. If a human loses one unit, he notices immediately and tends to correct the problem quickly. The AI just bleeds over time until things get better (or not). The least advanced unit is also the one disbanded, which means the strong AI units on the front line won't be the ones disappearing. If the AI has a lot of units and is losing money, it tends to have a LOT of units, which means its going to take some time before ALL of the extra units are disbanded.
The most fleshed-out part of the AI is probably how it approaches Happiness. It is obsessed with staying above the Happiness limit. It bee-lines for luxuries, trades them quickly if it has excess (and likes another player that also has excess), constructs Colosseums, nearly always picks policies that help with Happiness, etc. As soon as the AI hits "Unhappy" (before "Really Unhappy") it stops expanding, preventing the situation from deteriorating further. Because the AI civs are rarely unhappy, they rarely have to suffer the combat penalty.
Even with all of this though, the AI tends to lag behind the human with regards to total population. It's not able to micromanage the numbers in the same way a person can, and also can't build up the REALLY large food surpluses humans like to. The lack of population tends to catch up to the AI in the later part of the game, where it tends to lacks technology and cities with really high production. |

So, update in a few weeks

Good call!
Especially about diplomacy and getting more information in the game. These two aspects I find most lacking (if you don't count wars, which if prolonged, can be a bit boring). And are parts that do feel unfinished, or better said, rushed out.

Pretty honest, thats good. But I would like the patches to come sooner, because its pretty poor and game breaking. But I'm a sucker for talking to the community so I guess I'll accept it.

Yeah nice its been fixed off course.... but what i generally hate again is that developers just put a game on the market and fuck the whole community for weeks/months to come up with some descent patches what should have been on releaseday anyway.
IMO developers have to much freedom in selling flawed products.

Still it's better then rushing game to market, and then bailing out due to lower sales then expected.
As long as there are patches, I'm happy.

Cough...Crysis and Crytek. One patch and "we are officially done supporting the game". Bunch of fucking cunts.
I've got faith in Firaxis, I just wish they would step it the fuck up. Its already been several weeks - they need to get a move on!
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

Seems like a beta product sometimes. But it's a great game, even with some flaws. Once they fix them, together with some good mods, and great expansions, this game will be even greater.

That's the thing, it won't let me move a unit onto a city?
Just bombard it constantly, which I've been doing now for ages and it won't let me take it?

Also, it cannot be the enemy capitol. You cannot destroy it.
Or more exactly, it cannot be the last city left of that race.

| Quote: | You guys have been asking for an update about what we're working on to improve the game, and today I am happy to give it to you.
This is the list of updates to the game that the developers have been working on the past couple weeks. This isn't necessarily the complete patch notes for the next patch, but it's what I have so far.
Keep in mind that these are just the first batch of changes that will go in to the first major patch. We're planning more improvements (such as the much-asked-for Hotseat and Pitboss) that will be coming in a later patch. |

- Selecting a great general will no longer cause yield icons to appear.

- Strategic View – Crash fix for units rendering in background.
- Strategic View – Fix for selecting units either standing on a city plot, or garrisoned in the city plot.
