Just need to vent a little here. I am so SICK of Alex's city spamming, city state buying ass...A few games ago, I played Babylon, emperor, standard continents. Alex spammed on the other continent. I played mostly peaceful but I had to take a city state to prevent Alex from getting a diplo win before I launched my spaceship.
Next game. Inca, large map, emperor, continents. Alex is on the other continent again, spamming cities every where. mid game hes spamming cities on the tundra coast near me. I take out his capitol and a few cities, he just spams more, and has every city state allied. Again, have to kill a city state to prevent a diplo win, then I win by domination. At this point I've had quite enough of the horse-riding douche.
Next game. Inca, immortal, small, pangea. Guess who's about 20 tiles south of me? I play nice this time and save him till last. Got a ton of dough from peace deals, so I ally a couple city states that are between him and I and declare war. I'm thankfully ahead in tech. Have arties and Bombers and he's just starting to get great war bombers. I take him out with nukes this time. In any event, by now I'm so sick of him I'm tempted to look up a setting or a mod that prevents him from spamming.
No, I say, what are the odds I'll draw the boy king four times in a row? What are the odds that for four games straight, I leave the patronage tree alone because there's no hope of having any CS allies. What are the odds that, save for the first one, I'll have no say in the WC? My warrior just stumbled onto his greatness, once again. This time he's tucked between a mountain range and the ocean, so I won't be able to eliminate him until at LEAST after I get frigates, but probably later...
Let me just say that I am SICK OF ALEXANDER. Seriously thought of rerolling but I really like my starting spot.
Is there ANY one else that when you meet them for the first time your heart just sinks? I think the zulu comes close, but with them you just have to build a few more units to ensure you take them out. Egypt is irritating too, taking all the wonders. But since I play on immortal now i don't try to hard build wonders anymore either.
I'll pose the question again so that my previous one doesn't appear rhetorical: Who, if anyone, do you dislike more than Alex?
