Hi everyone,
I've been playing a great game for the last few days. After overcoming a long and hard war with both the Shoshone and the Spanish, my Incan civilization eventually prevailed and became more prosperous than ever. Happiness all over the place and population numbers were going trough the roof again. By completely annihilating these civilizations from the face of the earth, my people were eager to take over the world.
In my standard, Continents map on Deity I was now a proud owner of my own continent and I even made a lot of City States friends a long the way, netting me 30 votes in the World Congres to choose any resolutions of my liking. Anyway, since I'm playing on domination (and culture victory) there was still work to be done.
This is were the trouble started. I actually only had one important opponent worth reckoning, my dear friend Shaka. This could be a great fight, since both Shaka and me both owned our own (big) continent through conquest. However, Shaka likes to spam units. A lot. Really, a lot. Eventually, I died of boredom, since I couldn't bare to wait 5 minutes per turn for Shaka's units to move. And bare with me, I wasn't even at war with him.
Oh my. The simple thought of going to war with Shaka and having to wait 15 minutes for how each fight would turn out was beyond what I could take. I couldn't help to ragequit. I did save the game, but I'm afraid I'll never find the patience to grab that domination win. Even nuking his capital (and captured capitals) and taking them with Xcom units would take too long with his units swarming all over the place, like pesky insects on warm days.
So far for my frustration. Any of you guys experienced a great game, which you simply didn't finish because you just didn't had the patience to wait for your opponents turn to end?
P.s. For those wondering, I have quick combat on.
