Archnemesis

[Cunobelin Of Hippo]

Yes, who is your archnemesis? What Civilization leader(s) are the biggest pain, and seem to show up everytime you play?

For me, I would have to say the French, who always seem to represent the blue, and Bodicea, the Female Celtic leader. The French are almost always the second

most powerful nation, and a constant thorn in my side as I vie for world domination. Bodicea, on the other hand, runs a crappy empire, but it simply impossible to deal with diplomatically. She'll declare war with no provocation, demand tribute with two cities left, and constantly backstab by blasting away key units of mine in the early years. Yeah, that probably sounds like a lot of leaders, but it's in my head! Damn the Frenchies and Bodicea to eternal destruction! May their farms become polluted, their airports terrorized, and their firstborns be enslaved in my manufacturing plant!

The biggest pain is Attilla the Hun.His early barb attacks can be most annoying.

It's been covered elsewhere, but Gandhi is an absolute count. How the programmers thought that they could use someone so renowned for his peaceful attitude as the leader of the warlike Indians is beyond me. Are the civ types (aggressive expansionist, etc.) all the same for the same colour civs? I've never bothered checking because they all end up making the tracks of my tanks dirty anyway. The whites are quite mean, but this is because they are heavily militaristic and expansionist. I like negotiating with the French because I can never take that bloke dressed as a jester seriously.

Nope. All the tribes have their own personalities. And yeah, like Ghandi would really backstab me with a nuke! The worst negotiator is definitely that French clown, though I'd rate those male strippers from the Sioux and Aztecs a close second
