A is for Aztec

They probably got an MGL and rushed it. The AI can do that, and since they don't build armies in Conquests....
 
I don't believe they were at war. it might have been an SGL I guess.
 
yes that is possible except that the announcement did not come in a cascade. It just came up from out of nowhere.. Not that it matters. it was more or less just a representative aspect of that game. Mark it with an L and store in the circular file :lol:
 
Ok, I gave up on playing the French and decided to move on to Germany and come back to France. it just seemed like a dead-ender and each start was worse than the one before it.

I thought maybe I could break the cycle by moving on.
 
I think She won the game with the English :goodjob:

I do not understand why France gets so much flak, It is a good Civ in all respects, although master of nothing

I find them difficult to play, the French, but I like them. I find most Industrious civs difficult to play. I'm in a game with Egypt now, that's also not one of my best, and Egypt has worse starting techs: Masonry and Ceremonial Burial. France starts at least with Alphabet.

Funny thing I noticed when playing Egypt: When a Chariot started my Golden Age, I started building Horsemen, thinking that I now couldn't build Chariots anymore. After quite a while my eye fell on the picture of a Chariot in the build options. I pinched myself, but yup; I could still build Chariots. It's now halfway the Medieval Age in that game, way after Chivalry, and what am I building? Yo, Chariots! No Iron in sight, so I guess it's Chariots until errr... what's that tech that gives you Cavalry, Military Tradition? By that time I probably really need them, cos I'm already fighting Knights with Chariots. Well, at least I'm getting the full Egyptian experience, I couldn't have asked for more!

You can always build your UU until the end of your GA. After that, if the unit which replaces the UU requires a resource, and you don't have it, you'll revert back to that UU. For example, I'm playing a Zulu game where I have saltpeter and iron on my core continent, but not yet on the other continent (my galleys can easily cross the space without risk, but the game won't accept it as a supply route). So on the other continent, my muskets build slot is replaced by the Impi. I don't much care, because it is science farming time over there, anyway, and I have a steady supply of combat units coming by boat, but I thought it was interesting.
 
Did I just skim past the fate of the English? Or what happened to Liz otherwise?
 
Oops forgot to mention that one. I got a Civ-Cultural victory with England.

I have an interesting pic from a German game that I was playing and gave up on...

I took out India rather quickly because I had WC to start and my archer rush worked.

What I found interesting was that my Advisor would report that I had connected gems or whatever to *Delhi*!!! Can anyone suggest a reason for that little bit of Civ fun? Is it something to do with proximity? Berlin starts earlier in the alphabet than Delhi so that can't be it :confused::crazyeye:
 
That's not very inspiring terrain you picked there, Darski. Is that why you stopped?
I've no clue why you got a message saying the Gems made the people in Delhi happy. If you're roaded up to Berlin, like in the picture, the message should mention Berlin. :dunno:
By the way, I can't see it very well, but is there any food resource around Delhi? If not, Delhi would never have been able to produce a single settler, surrounded as it is by just plains and no sweet water.
Oh, another 'by the way': Berlin did have the Gems in the city box, did it?
 
Yes, I just could not get anywhere with that terrain. it was most of my empire and every single build was just about one shield at a time. This was also one of those strange games where I could not increase science by any means. it took 100 turns to get alphabet and writing. Well by that time, the game is about 1/4 over already. Just a lousy game.

My current game with Germany is moving along. it would be very nice to be able to have a peaceful space race but Hammy is on steroids or something and is *rampaging* against everyone on his continent.

At one point... just to be annoying, I gave the mongols a city I took from the Chinese on *That* continent. I wonder if Hammy is going to declare on them and drag me in for the ride. (I signed an MPP... yeah I know-> braindead!
 
It's those leftover Indian citizens plotting sedition....
 
Amazing grace indeed! I should have been shouting from the rooftops.
 
Darski,

Did you have the 100K/empire-wide cultural victory with England or a 20K cultural victory?
 
@Darski

I think it's the Proximity Issue, Delhi must have been closer to the Resource.
 
About the Gems-to-Delhi thing; did you move your settler at the start of the game?
My experience is that when you connect a resource, the game tells you it's connected to the "oldest" city that resource can reach. If Delhi was founded before Berlin and you've captured Delhi, then Delhi is the "oldest" city you own.

Spoiler rambling :
Likewise, if you had razed Delhi and founded, say, Bremen, then Bremen would be the "oldest" city you own, because it takes the slot that Delhi occupied in the city-array in the game. That's my theory, at least.

That might be the case of it here. I think I did move the settler in that game. I can't remember for sure but I believe that I did so.


@ Doug...My cultural victory was 80,000 points for a small map.
