How would you fix Civ V?
Place it in the refuse bin
Add in the ability to say to the NPC's everything they can say to you
example: I see your units amassed at my borders...
Release a console version.
By installing Civ IV

>>323657391
To fix Civ5 specifically I'd probably just remove troop healing.
Health can come back through siphoning production from cities I guess.
Maybe half of the damage that is taken can be regained like it used to, but the other half has to be payed for in production.
>>323657391
it's already fixed with the community patch
Make mid-late game not boring
>>323657915
What community patch?
>>323657391
Choose appropriate rulers. Even better...have multiple rulers for each faction like previous games.
Unit stacking (with a limit).
Competent AI.
A functional diplomacy system.
install the better UI mod
game is unplayable without it
>>323657864
I could see it working, but you'd have to make it it worsen the effect each age. having that mechanics would makes first turn barbarians camps god damn nightmares.
>>323657915
Community patch and various UI mods
Improve combat AI
Eliminate multiplayer crashes, there's really no excuse, this isn't a twitch shooter
Add a few more civs (maybe different leaders for one civ) or 'make your own civ'
Civ 6 should be everything Civ 5 is with these improvements, if it isn't I'll just play modded Civ 5 until Civ 6 complete edition comes out circa 2020
>>323658237
>Unit stacking (with a limit).
This. Seriously, this should be the ability of great generals. Use a great general to be able to create an army which allows you to stack 3-5 units into a single one.
>>323658365
Ah hm.
Well I guess you couldn't roam as easily far away from your capitol then.

>>323658415

If you want tile stacking back it needs to come with a movement penalty, diminishing returns on health and wipe out the entire army if defeated.

of coruse you can be a pleb and deny but this game does so much things right, turism, spies, diplomacy, cultural victory is actually fun, world fairs, its amazing, also great civs and each is really different from another
also is aways great to say strategy babys crying because of no "muh stacks ;_;'

>>323657468
Add in what this anon said.
>>323657391
release two expansions
Give it better AI
First of all, i would cap african nations to max medieval era and asians to industrial age. Then i would increase the skills of unit belonging to first world nations in the west since we're genetically and technologically superior to other lesser nations. Also allow you to exterminate other religions and races. If they did that, then Civ would be THE best game on the planet

>one melee, ranged and noncombat unit per tile.
I would put a strength limit depending on highest age reached. You might be able to have a bunch of low tech garbage stacked or one or two current era. That way you can do asymmetric war.
Happiness is the biggest problem. The unhappiness generated per-city is way too high and inhibits creating the massive, sprawling empires that were always a staple of the series. There also aren't enough ways to manage it outside of social policies, which leads to huge troughs where you can find yourself at -20 or worse before you get your ideology.
Useless/overpowered military units are also an issue. Plenty of units literally never see the light of day, like chariot archers or helicopter gunships. Probably worse are the broken units that dominate their era, notably composites/crossbowmen, frigates and artillery. Since the AI usually spams pikes and other assorted shit units, it's too easy to dominate wars just through sheer unit strength.
They need to make science (and early culture) have less of a priority over the other resources. Since vanilla it's been the optimal strategy to simply rush science tech/buildings/wonders since prioritizing anything other than early military is objectively subpotimal. We shouldn't see the only two science focused civs in the game blowing all the others out of the water.
It's pretty common to suggest better AI but I'm pretty sure the AI is intentionally retarded. The more complex the AI the longer the turns take, and Civ5 already has monstrously long turns as the game gets towards the modern eras. It's pretty difficult, if not impossible, to script a better AI without lengthening turns to a ridiculous degree. There might be some optimizations here and there (like not having city-states pointlessly move all their units every turn), but I doubt they'd be able to do too much.
let competent AI writers handle the AI in the game.

Pretty much the only thing that made me give Civ5 a chance, that it stopped me from endlessly spamming cities.
I can still ICS in it though.

I would like to see army costs (both recruitment and upkeep) massively increased. Right now you can just spam your strongest unit without any major penalties. More expensive units would require a more tactical approach as you wouldn't want to sacrifice your troops for nothing.
>>323666004

It has too many issues to be "Fixed"
They dumbed it down for steam peasants and now it's ruined, they removed all strategy in exchange for filling the game with busy work.
I'd say scrap the whole fucking thing and iterate from civ4.
What I want is a way to make units travel together. Missionaries w/ soldier u, for example. They don't need to stack either, just stay close of one another. I hate having to personally click on the tiles when their destination is the same.
I'm not sure, just because a lot of the issues with civ5 were issues with every other civ just to a lesser extent.
So clearly even firaxis doesn't know how to fix it, or they just don't give a shit about things like diplomacy and terrain generation.

Yes, unit stacking with a hard limit. Civ3 had armies where you could join a few units into 1 super unit that attacked as one. This would probably solve all the problems with the combat like having traffic jams, AI inability to manage forces, or turtling in general. It should have been a general specific function.

>>323676503
But anon, all you have to do to make the load time smaller iskill more people.:)
This is probably a really minor nitpick in the grand scheme of things, but in my last playthrough it really pulled me out of it. When I was moving my armies around I would have a plan of which order I would move them in my head (I'm gonna move this guy here, which lets me move this guy to take his place, which lets me...). But then every time I finished moving a unit, the game would automatically snap control and the camera to some random unit that was on the other side of the map, throwing me off from what I had in mind. Maybe there's already a mod to fix this, or there's even an option that does something about it, but holy shit was it tedious the way it is by default.

Fucking diplomatic victory. Every time a civ starts building up votes for himself I get paranoid and start building nukes.
Remove 1 unit per tile mechanic and replace it with piled unit mechanics (including including bonus, malus, unlocking more unit per tile with tech, etc...) so you aren't spending 10 minutes per turn moving little soldiers.
Reintroduce per city happiness so you have actual malus long term for taking cities and having a too big empire, malus you can decrease with building stuffs and all. Happyness of city is proportional with prod/etc... Global happiness is now "approval", used for passing new ideologies or doing certain diplomatic moves (declaring war while in democracy require approval).
Make a better AI for those who like solo.
Less bugs.

If he actually has to defend his cities late game, he sucks. He was obviously referring to attacking AI cities, unless, of course, he sucks.
>>But melee units shouldn't instantly melt when they attack cities. The only viable strategy is a few blocking/capturing melee units and then hordes of crossbows/artillery/rockets.

R.E.D WW2 is the only really "big" mod for Civ 5.
Caveman2Cosmos single handily made Civ4 the best Civ game to date.
I just wish I had the fucking computer to play through all of it, lol.

I just want a middle ground. I'm fine with being shit at the game, but fucking scale this better.
>>323657391
i want a 'Convert or Die!' option for diplomacy. over my Civ 5 career i have started more wars over them popping great prophets on my cities than resources
>>323683313
That's because higher difficulties still have the same shitty AI, so to counter-act that they just give them giant bonuses to everything.
It's simply bad game design.
>>323657391
Subdivid grid and rebalance accordingly
Improve combat
Improve Diplo

eh?
Even emperor is pretty kind to you and you can get religion without a religion civ.
Deity is playable, but it can be pretty bs.

I'm playing a team game with a friend right now where I'm Germany and he's England where we went around early game destroying barbarian encampments together, but he would let me get the last hit so we could build up a big army early on. I would gift him any extra units I didn't need/couldn't afford, and my armies combined with his OP longbowmen let us knock out team Rome/Greece from the game right as world Congress was founded, and let us take control of it from Rome.
>>323657391
By playing the better predecessor, Civ IV,
>>323657391
Add acomfy"roleplay" mode, where each civs has different objectives and cooperation is encouraged. Maybe with an emphasis on scenarios in order for it to make some sense.
>>323686281
Civ IV is shit m8
The uninstaller worked pretty well for me.

its aight depends a lot on where the points of entry are but forests are always nice for the early chop hammers.
>Tfw way too difficult for me
How do you fags do it
>>323687456
short answer: autism
long answer: learning 1 mechanic at a time
>>323687456
Also learning combat to the point when you can cheese ai armies of doom with a handful of well used units.
>>323687761
this. a simple setup of melee units in front, ranged in the back is enough to stop most hordes. specially if you can use geography to your advantage.
the AI is also incapable of using navy effectively and almost never uses air
>>323657391
Install brave new world.
>>323657391
Install both addons and play with them.
There, done.
>>323657654
That's only an alternative if you can still bear SoDs.
>>323687883
and final note before i go. don't forget melee units. i can't count the number of times i've setup a capture on a city and didn't have any melee units nearby. or at all
also once you get Great War Infantry, they start to become stronger than their ranged counterpart Gatling Gun

>>323689002
I couldn't find any and the best place I could find was there with the river. It's easily defended, at least, thanks to all the mountains.
>>323674606
not before 2017.
They are still working on XCOM2 and the inevitable add-on.

Did you expect anything else from a true start locations mod? Of course Africa and the Americas will dominate. They have all the land and barely any competition.

Well there was also Fall from Heaven 2, but that was doing it's own thing and clearly inspired Endless Legend.

delicious petra and sand pantheon start
>>323689807
Aztecs and Mayans were chumps.
Problem is Inca because Inca is fucking insane.
>>323657391
the game is very cozy, it just needs to be more challenging. Increasing difficulty doesn't make the AI any smarter, just gives them basically infinite resources. I fucking hate that shit.
>Mfw get Submarines in 1700
Damn this game is terribly unbalanced
>>323657391
having your spies in your cities prevents techs from being stolen, but the limit for spies is your number of cities. it's frustrating just watching civs steal your techs when you already have your spy in it and the anti spy buildings. it's rng and all they get is a slap on the wrist if they fail. this also means spying on another civ opens up your cities for having techs stolen so i think it's a good balance.
overhaul diplomatic victory. every other victory changes your playstyle significantly, but diplomatic victory is literally just saving gold and buying city states the turn before world congress.
fix netcode
add multiplayer mod support
better ai
>>323690367
they should have made petra affect all desert tiles in your civ and not just one city
Remove, nerf, or drastically rework social policies
Reintroduce and expand civics. That system had far more potential
>>323690714
>Mexico and Central America is a tiny strip of land
What did you expect? Same with your good friends the Danish. They probably own about two or three tiles.
>>323691359

Reforestation mod allows you to plant forest on snow.
Ability to build bridges that act as roads.
So you can connect two islands.

I expected Inca to do well because they are inca?
>>323694725
There's a mod for that
>>323657391
More micromanagement
Stacking units
there fixed
You should have the ability to raze ALL cities.
Fuck city states that are in shit positions I need to take over
Fuck Holy Capitals spreading shit religions everywhere
and fuck other capitals, I want to wipe your disgusting race off the face of the earth so nobody remembers you ever existed
>>323696125
being able to raze city states would make War too powerful a counter to Diplomacy
>>323658408
Seriously though why does multiplayer crash so much?
It's ruined more than a few game nights with my friends.
