Not to mention the fact that Stalin gutted the officer corps quite thoroughly and most Russian Generals were incompetent political appointees by the time the Germans invaded. If they hadn't gotten distracted by Italy's utter failure in Greece and started the invasion a couple weeks earlier they...

Sorry for the stupid question....when you guys mention AoE you are referring to Age of Empires?

Technically Orcs ARE "lawful evil". But Orcs are "lawful evil" not because they are mean/nasty dudes (although a bunch of them are) but because their culture is oppressive and based on conquest. Since conquest/war are "bad" the Orcs are pigeonholed as "evil". Same for the Hobgoblins, also being...

I play it from time to time. I play on the large world settings though and it takes, literally, weeks to play a game.

Any of you guys play the Tropico games? Try your hand at being dictator! I did pretty well and got up to 99% support (prior to an election). My majordomo always gives me the option during elections of them being honest, or they can juice up the results a little in my favor (usually about 5% of...

Consider it a Christmas gift for the people of Romania :D

LOL...I'm a traditionalist :D You youngsters and your sci-fi ways are beyond me! I was a little surprised I didn't make it to 2000 AD before winning the game though. Heck, I didn't even have a chance to build all the wonders or discover all the tech.

They had it coming.

I'm pretty sad nobody has bothered to check out my game :( Was expecting to get ripped apart for using Cultural buildings :D

Alright, finally finished that game. Took nearly forever thanks to the huge map, my sporadic playing times. Finally won via cultural victory in 1959. Was about to lay the hammer down and finish off Babylonia, lol. Just on warlord difficulty, but still earned "Joan of Arc The Magnificent" :D...

Pretty insane the AI has so many units, but the thing that really grabbed my eye was the support required for that massive army - 0 gold per turn :D

I'm not too sure about that. I have the Vanilla version and occasionally bombers will shoot down fighters. I'm assuming that means the bombers must have some sort of defensive capability.

I'll see if I can post the save file here once I'm nearly done.

Started a new game on CIV3 a few days ago. Decided to try the "settler factory" method from this site. My observations: 1. On the replay I noted that my empire spread more slowly than my previous method. At FIRST. However my empire quickly started expanding faster than the other civs once I got...
