(I got nothing, but i made up one to keep the thread rolling!)
Make a conquest only victory condition, and then mistakenly turning on always peace!

Spoiler :

Cultral takeover anyone?

Voting in a UN FTW resolution instead of just abstaining b/c I misread and thought it was just a UN Leader selection vote.

I was playing as the Aztecs on a Earth map and had a nice little civ going when FDR backstabs and DoW on me then invades with better everything. I decide to build a city deep in the Amazon where he cant get me (Some English colonies blocked the north and the Incans who I freindly with blocked the west) I send out a settler, mace, and worker, find a nice spot and just have to wait until the next turn to build my city only to have FDR's knight takes out my last existing city between turns. Then adding insult to injury "Durring this game you have displayed the leadership abilities of Dan Quayle."

Should have Jagowned him.

Should have Jagowned him.

I would have if he wasn't 5 techs ahead and had twice the number of units.

Playing against a Chuck Norris leaderhead...I exited the game just in time to not have to suffer the consequences.

I'm gonna archive the amount of times you've said that. I feel sorry for you.

One turn from winning my first Noble game with Time victory only to find our this one turn Gandhi wins by space race

Now, now, it was only the time I stupidly decided to be a redhead for a while.

My biggest fail ever hasnt happened yet but it will. This stoopid game vexes the chit out of me and Im gonna leave it- for the next version- before I make it stand up and tell me Im it's daddy.


I was seriously thinking about this the other day.


O well.

I mentioned it elsewhere, but it was...

Popping barbarians from a hut, who promptly walked across the visible map to take my undefended, 1-pop, no-slavery capital.

This happened to me a while ago: I was playing as Roosevelt on a resource-rich jungle peninsula, and was lucky enough to have chop-rushed both the GW and pyramids then pop a GE who rushed the GLib, all in the BC's, on immortal. However my techrate remained horrible past 1AD - never went above 100/turn, even with most of my cities running the two scientists. I was close to finishing monarchy when I realized that I didn't need HR because I could have switched to Rep a thousand years earlier!!!

Anyway you need Feudalism to get Longbows & access to Guilds

Conquering the largest civ on the map, but then falling in to economic crisis. Meanwhile your army goes off to explore the rest of the world (now it has nothing else to do)... but then Zara throws a stack right in to your borders with a DoW... poor, incomplete defenses, and no army around for a counter attack.

Then trying to go back to the earliest autosave, gifting a city to make Zara pleased... but finding he still attacks, but even EARLIER than the first time.

Pissed me off so much I restarted. =.=''

From now on, I'm conquering civs based on their opinion of me first... not going for the biggest of the closest conquests (the civ I conquered was practically my best friend XD).

Building the UN after nuking another civ. Everyone votes against me because they were all apparently friends with the civ I nuked and the other civ won diplomatically because everyone voted against me.

*note to self* Never create a sympothy vote for another civ in UN elections by nuking them.

Being so far ahead of ALL the other civs in tech, power, and score, and thinking you have a frim grip on the lead when 2 of the higest scoring civs form a permanent alliance, and Hannibal,your most trusted (and powerful) friend wont form a permanent alliance with you, even though you WB +100 friends and went to war with your "fromer" friend, Louis, and bougth him in too...
