"In AD 2101. War was beginning. What happen? Somebody set us up the bomb. We get signal. What! Main screen turn on. It's you!! How are you gentlemen. All your base are belong to us!"

The quote is from an old, poorly translated Japanese console game called Zero Wing. In recent years, "all your base are belong to us" spread like wildfire and has infiltrated the entire planet. Civilization III is no exception. :crazyeye:

Many of you have probably seen this before, but of all the funny one liners in the game (You say you want a revolution?) this has to be the funniest. I was at war with Japan and was trying to talk peace and this is what I am greeted by...

Thanks to jaroslav for the screenshot.

PS: You can watch the AYB flash movie here: http://www.planettribes.com/allyourbase/video3.shtml
 
Was it ever settled whether or not this phrase was authentic in CivIII, or whether people were just editing the relevant text file?
 
It's settled. The phrase is in Civ3 without any editing. Check your c:/program files/civ3/text/diplomacy.txt

:D


Don't know why it's hilarious, it just is!
 
http://www.AllYourBase.net/ is the official page. Dudes, I really can't believe you didn't know the AYBABTU-video... :) Living in some cave, are you? ;) Hehe, no offence.

I haven't seen this line in the diplomacy screen but in the after game screen, if you lost the game someone might say that in a speech bubble.
 
holy crap, that page was totally hilarious.

I live in the Civ3 cave. Does that count?

LOL, I was the first to report this on November 1 2002, I believe. I either posted the message here or at all Civ Forums. It's so cool. All your base are belong to us.
