Many major religions, such as Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Sunni, and Shia are present in the game and can provide distinct bonuses to their practitioners. Trade is also an important part of the game, where the world is divided into many trade nodes and trade flows through each of the nodes and can be collected by merchants. Combat can be waged on both land and sea, during which the game attempts to simulate real world factors such as morale, discipline, varying unit types with associated strengths and weaknesses, competency of leaders, terrain and supply lines. Espionage can also be employed against enemy states in order to claim their territory, or incite rebellion in their provinces, along with other dubious ends. Diplomacy is a large aspect of the game, as creating alliances, (or vassal states and tributaries), improving opinions, and preventing defensive coalitions are vital to a player's survival. The game is a sandbox environment, and while there is no strict rule on winning the game, the game of the player is over when the player's nation is removed, or annexed, from the map. These nations range alphabetically from Aachen to Zuni. Players can choose to conquer the world by military might, become a colonial superpower, establish trade dominance, etc. The player does so through their choices as sovereign of their nation, and through the spending of resources available to them: Prestige, Stability, Gold (Ducats), Manpower, Legitimacy for Monarchies, Republican Tradition for Republics, Devotion for Theocracies, Horde Unity for Hordes and Monarch Power (Administrative, Diplomatic, Military). The gameplay requires the player to lead a nation by finding a balance of military, diplomacy and economy. Each of these provinces contribute to their country either positively or negatively, as provinces can both provide resources to a nation and serve as a point of unrest and rebellion. The game itself is an interactive map of Earth divided into the provinces that compose nations. Especially if your graphics card is still within warranty, you may find that replacing it fixes the problem.The game has been formed to begin historically, with real events occurring in real time. You have mentioned that you have a "pretty good computer", but specific part names (starting with your graphics card) would also help diagnose the issue. In general, though, be aware that the graphics engine in Civ 5 is not very optimized it may stress your system a lot more than games with better effects, even at a low setting.
#BEST CIV 5 MODS UPDATE#
It is important to update your graphics driver and verify the program files in Steam (after all, there may have been an update for this very problem). If you find that temperatures on the CPU and GPU are within acceptable ranges and you're still getting graphical artifacts, you can move on to further tests.
#BEST CIV 5 MODS INSTALL#
If you don't have a tool for monitoring temperature inside your computer, please download and install HWMonitor.
Even if you are sure your computer is clean and the fan intakes/outtakes are not obstructed, you should still test the temperature of a few components while running the game and getting these artifacts.

One of the most common graphics card problems, which can vary from game to game (yes, even at high settings - graphics drivers are fickle things) is overheating. In order to rule this out (and make sure you don't have to pay for a new graphics card), you need more proof than running other games at high settings. If none of this works, I wouldn't be surprised if your graphics card fails within a short period of time.Īs other answers have suggested, this kind of error is most often caused by a physical hardware problem. Remember that the published hardware requirements for a game is often a minimum or recommended, not what's needed for the maximum settings. Your graphics card might not meet the requirements for the highest settings.

It is in general good to use trial and error with your video settings.
