I´m having a discussion with my PBEM buddy. I our game i just succeded i getting all the computerplayers to declare war on him. The way to do i was simple. I just started by declaring war myself and then all the computerplayers was easyl payed to do the same. (100 gold, worldmap :Cheap) Is that a fair way of winning? Or is it a buf. From now on that will always be the winning strategy.

Its completely fair, its definately not a bug.

What I assume you meant to ask is more along the lines of "Is it lame or taboo to win using this strategy?" in which case I wouldn't have an adequate answer. Personally, I wouldn't mind an opponent using *some* of the AI civs to go to war with me, but I definately think its lame to get all of them to declare war on him, on the same turn. Even more so if they are the ones to take him down, not you... I mean, what's the point? Anyone can do that, its not showing much skill or prowess, and it just wasted a ton of both of your-alls time...

Did you have some sense of satisfaction from beating him by using all of the AIs to gang up on him? I can't imagine that I would be all "Yeah, I just played a great game!" if I used that to win.

Keep in mind, I'm not trying to be offensive or demeaning... I'm just explaining to you how most of us would probably feel on the matter.
