[Pentium]

@Pentium: I still forget the lux slider from time to time

Yep, me too. And not only from time to time, quite often in fact.

98: You get a huge SoD outside your rivals capital, and nuke the capital, killng your 200+ army in 2-3 nukes.

101. You get a huge SoD outside your rival's capital, then take it, but in the IT that same rival captures half of your undefended core (Guilty as well ).

I guess it's easy for not-very-experienced players like us to think of ideas, since many apply to the person who posted them.

102. You send your king unit to fight an 8+ stack of Barbs.

 

[Mirc]

103: You post in this thread (guilty)

 

[choxorn]

104. All of the clues you posted applied to you.

105. You impatiently attack an AI hilltop metropolis defended by a spearman with a unit less powerful than modern armour without bombing/shelling the crap out of them first.

 

[choxorn]

Wrong Number, meisen. And why is it a clue?

Wrong Number, meisen. And why is it a clue?

I edited the number. I forgot to check to see if I was on the last page when I posted earlier.

Attacking a well protected, city defending, AI spearman is suicidal unless you have a huge odds advantage.

Even then, you run a considerable risk.

 

[choxorn]

Really? Do you mean a Regular, Veteran, or Elite Spearman?

 

[meisen]

All of them.

 

[choxorn]

Why does this make me think otherwise?

 

[Desertsnow]

Meisen has obviously been on the losing side of .

 

[meisen]

Yes, I failed in my duties of RNG God worship on more than one occasion.

And my troops suffered the agonising consequences. Writing the letters of condolence to their families was the most heartwrenching task I've ever had to do.

Why didn't you increase the lux slider instead?

Back on topic:
106: You use a palace pre-build for <insert name of wonder here> but your worker chops forest so you can't switch to the wonder and have to waste a lot of shields

 

[plarq]

107: You fly your civ3 disc out of your window and let your dog retrieve it, full of dog's bites.
108: Your first settler unescorted is lost to barbarians.
109: You build your city next to volcano.
110: You build city which carefully avoids river and coastline.
111: You accidently deletes all your civ3 saves.

107 doesn't have anything to do with management skills (at least, not civ3 management skills)

technically it does, since if you cant manage the disk well, you arent likely to do much bbetter in game

 

[choxorn]

Well, there you have a point.
112: Darn it, where is my C3C disc?
