Things I learned about the science of warfare through Civilization IV

182) The Internet is a project built and owned by one Civ. It allows that civ to find out about techs others have researched by checking their blogs.
 
183) Merchants, Generals, Spies, Artists, and Prophets can also discover Future tech, without any experience in the field of science.

184) A stelath bomber can also be intercepted by a SAM Infantry, even though it is flying very, very hing that you cannot see it anymore. Hence, stealth.
 
185) In a revolutionary display of ingenuity, whenever a city's granary gets filled it causes a release of hormones that, with the help of elvish magic, cause massive amounts of humans to make a giant orgy. In that orgy, every woman gets pregnant and reproduces at the exact same time. However, if the granary is not filled then magic elves use dark magic to turn every woman into Barbara Bush, causing all men to cower in the face of great ugliness, thus discontinuing reproduction indefinitely.

186) In 4000 BC it took over 500 years to train and supply three warriors who are armed with wooden clubs.

188) If you are hurt enough, then you are impervious to collateral damage. It must be the sympathy of those artillery users.
 
189) It is not a typical practice to increase the defenses of your capital which has all your World Wonders in it.

190) In a city filled with spys where you know everything there is to know about an opponent, no matter what a booklet says you CANNOT catch enemy spies unless they try to poison your water or stand around too long.
 
191) Pikes impale knights so bad it doesn't hurt them
SUB post
 
193) The members of the Apostolic Palace voted on resolutions by how many of their citizens we're of that religion. The leader (lets call him the pope) only proposed resolutions

194) If people liked you enough they would actually vote for you over themselves to become ruler of the world.

195) Having 3 Cities that have more culture then god intended give that civ to smite his opponents and have the Words "<Insert Name Here> has won a Cultural Victory!"

Curses... On that last one it's been so long since I won I can't remember the victory salute.
 
196) Building a building with a fortune teller in it allows you to figure out how to use a new technology

197) You can have Communistic State Property, with Universal Sufferage, Slavery, and be Pagan
 
198. you can also have communistic state property, and free religion, although religion is banned in the Soviet Union

199. If you stack nukes together by pressing <Ctrl> while clicking on one of them, make sure your Fraps is recording evrything you are doing, coz, when you nuke Monty, you've got gigantic multi-megaton nuclear fireworks!!!

200. When the chances of winning is 100.1%, the attacking unit is overconfident.
 
201) The leader decides how things are done. When a revolution takes place it's becuase they want to do things differently. Now you know that Louis XVI totally wanted to switch from hereditary rule to representation. It was his choice.
 
lol thread!!!! :)

202) If you build a great big wall, no barbarians will dare to come anywhere near where somebody is reading books in your language - even if a lot more of those books are written since the creation of that wall!!!

203) You can measure up EXACTLY what the odds are for winning a battle. That's why Hitler lost WWII- he was never any good at math!

204) New York is usually settled before York!
 
205) The shortest way between two dots is a straight line, except if it passes through a mountain!!!

206) Apparently all Scandinavians speak Norwegian!
 
208) Airships didn't just spot subs they also dropped bombs on them.
