Am I the only weirdo Civ gamer?

[hobbsyoyo]

We all know how this game will end, right?

Except that I'm pretty sure CiV will cause your processor to melt from excessive turn times well before then.

My computer is incapable of playing marathon maps. Does anyone know a good equivalent "earth" map that is standard or large size for this style of game?

@hobbsyoyo and @sav - cannot resist combining your two signatures. "The quote is from one of the greatest pieces of music ever written by human hand, and now "it's all down hill from here"

Reminds me of Sim City... beause one does not simply win Sim City.

I have the same mod as you! Might try something similar.

Can you please post the coordinates you used? Want to try out what you did but too lazy to get the coordinates right.

I used:
<X>99</X>
<Y>10</Y>

Thanks!
P.S

My evening consist of me kicking back in my office chair and watching Netflix on my second monitor and glancing over at the main monitor to see if it's my turn yet.

I love doing that! I am doing it right now.

Can we get some amazing screenshots and some stories? That would be the most epic thing ever.

I do this on my games post victory, keeping world order and all that.

OP, would you be willing to post instructions on how to do what you are doing?

This is one of the best ideas I read on this forum. I encourage you to start a LP .

Seconded! But just some of the fun parts, not the whooooole thang... I imagine that would take what, 723 separate segments?

I play the game similarly to you.

I use too the giant map from Yet (not) Another Earth Maps Pack, but I play as Romans (when I want some early action) or Americans, without any other civ on the continent.

I focus on micro-managing and building a small but ultra experienced army. Then I overlook that none takes the upper hand.

I get pretty bored of games like that. I have 400 turns left in one of mine. I turned everything off except time victory (although I noticed domination is still active), and was intending on playing until 2050 or whenever it ends. The turns times make things too slow. Maybe if I watched tv or something in between turns it wouldn't be so bad, but I don't have a tv (I normally watch things on my computer, which I can't do with Civ5 running).

One thing I enjoyed doing in Civ2 and Civ3 was playing earth map starting in North America as America, and putting all the cities in their appropriate location.
