Have you ever wanted to vent some steam (pun intended) after a game of CiV gone wrong, but just couldn't find the place to do it? Post here; these can be true stories or hypothetical. Well, I'm aiming for a thousand rages, so...
1. Find a ruin, which is a map that reveals another ruin. Pop the other ruin and get a map of the ocean...
2. Find a sweet spot with flood plains, river, wheat, and then find a CS 2 tiles away in an awkwardly settled position in which conquering would yield a city made of half-jungle
3. Find Skill Dorado first, and wish you were Spain.
4. On Deity, AI forward-settles you on turn 2, stealing a lux and half your tiles.
5. Pop all your GS, only to discover you're 1 GS short of winning a sub-t300 victory.
6. Chose order, and then culturemonger chooses freedom. Reload, choose freedom, and culturemonger chooses order. Reload, choose autocracy, and culturemonger chooses freedom, denounces, and DOWs, leaving you with 20 .
7. Your only melee unit dies trying to take a city even though combat odds said he'd win.
8. Opponents steal so many ruins that, in the course of one game, you're only able to collect one of them. Which gives you 50 gold.
9. Coup 90% chance success? Nope, still fail!
10. Start next to Shaka. As in, right next to him. Like, his cap is 5 tiles away. On deity.
11. Still can't figure out how to get sub-t250 SV, even with Babylon triple river grassland.
ALL THESE ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME!
