Nope,

GAME OVER: USA wins science victory long ago.

USA has only managed to send a man (well 3) to the moon and back, I wouldn't really call that "colonizing alien galaxies", would you?

Also, England would have ran away during the Victorian era, I mean, we almost did IRL! (but they we gave it back after we realized keeping others lands was a bit dickish)

If civ were real life, all the major powers in the world (well, those that were run competently, which has the effect of making those civilization the major powers in the world) would consist of a maximum of 4 cities.

If civ were real life,your capital has to stay the same for 6000 years unless someone conquers it.

"Honey, pass the salt."

"I can't. We lost that alliance when Venice puppetted them." :c5citystate:

"Damn. The pepper then?"

"Indonesia won't trade with us. They're angry about something our diplomats said to the UN." :trade:

"This sucks! My food tastes terrible - WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?" :c5unhappy:

"Our plates are made of Gold, our goblets out of Copper, our fork and knife handles are Ivory, and our table is Marble."

"Oh hey! The food tastes better already!" :c5happy:

If civ was real life, there would be a lot more small countries like Vatican City(irl) and San Marino. Also, a big part of the world would just be perfectly usable lands that aren't occupied

Civ IS real life. Several civs were so pissed that Alexandria beat them to the Great Library that they took turns pillaging and destroying it: Romans, Greeks, Byzantines, Arabs. I bet they all said the same thing as they beat those books onto a pulp ......"just....two....more.....turns....i needed ...damn.....you....!"

I routinely increase the # of civs and decrease the # of CSs using advanced game startup.

If Civ were real life, then the territory of quite a lot of the world's nations would, up until the Renaissance or so (and quite possibly well into modern times) be composed of scattered, disjointed blocks of land. Imagine if real life countries were composed of scattered territories not contiguous to each other, with the gaps in between filled by perfectly good land inhabited only by barbarians, or even by other nations.

Europe would have a lot less countries, because their cities would be too close to place.

WELLLl, we didn't give back Gibraltar and the Falklands, I dunno why though

(maybe the first was to piss off the Spanish?)

Yeah, the Dutch still thank you for Suriname, but we still want to nuke you for Nieuw Amsterdam. Tea drinking douchebags.

You did give back Normandy to France, Thirteen Colonies to America and the Cape Colony to South Africa. So its all right.

The Dutch got the better out of that deal (not surprising, as it was at the end of a war that the English lost), although mostly because they also got the Indonesian island of Run, which allowed them to have a highly profitable monopoly on the trade in nutmeg for the next 150 years. And of course the Dutch managed to hold Surinam for 200 years longer than the English held New Amsterdam.

If civ was real life, I would've randomly transformed into a boat and teleported into the middle of the Pacific Ocean within 10 years of my birth -_-

If Civ was real life, the UN would be obeyed by everyone, even the people whose interests are harmed by their pronouncements. And no, Russia, you don't get a veto.

(I actually kind of liked the 'No! Never!' option in Civ 4)

If Civ was real life, socialism would work. It would increase production and worker scientists would make science in factories. The envy of the rest of the world from the glorious proletarian utopia would be so great they would be dominated by unhappiness.

Socialist policies do work, they are just very easy to implement in already equitable societies and hardest to implement in societies that would benefit from them the most :crazyeye:

Someone ought to add that to the tvtropes entry on Awesome but Impractical.

If civ was real life, you would restart civilians that failed to get a victory or lower their difficulty level.

China has definitely improved production under the Communist Party from where they were 70 years ago. Although I'd say it's because they have picked 5-Year Plan rather then Worker's Faculties
