So I recently played a Warlords game with a huge terra map, me vs 11 opponents (AI), noble difficulty, since I'm still sort of new. I eventually won by diplo with the U.N., because out of the total 11 civs left (Ghandi was dead), all voted for me but two, and one of those two abstained. 3 or 4 civs declared war on Ghandi early on and he was actually holding his own fairly well due to the military ineptitude of the French, Koreans and Ottomans, until the other civs finally convinced me to step in. I easily wiped India off the map, losing only one unit in the process.
That build up has nothing to do with my question, sorry. I found early on that a good way to get rich was to basically be friendly with everyone, and when they build up a little gold, just go to each one and ask them "could you spare this for a good friend?" in relation to ALL of their gold. Only Tokugawa would refuse (that butthole seems to hate me every game from start to finish, he abstained from the U.N. vote too). So I would just go every 20-25 turns or so and ask everyone for their gold, and 90% of the time they'd happily hand it all to me. I used this money to upgrade units, which eventually led to me wiping Ghandi out and then eventually colonizing the new world and wiping out the 12 barbarian cities too. My question is... Has anyone else gotten rich this way, by begging? I mean, I don't feel too badly since they all seemed to hate Ghandi, and I used the money, initially, to do what 3 or 4 other civs could not do, which was wipe him out.
Another question... I've played several large games now and most of the other civs are always anti-Ghandi. Is this just a coincidence? Or do you guys get the same thing? They don't seem to like Wang Kon either and that butthole Tokugawa never likes me (or anyone else for that matter) much at all...
