destroy a civ in 1-2 turns

[stevenx]

this can happen in modern era when MA is available, with railroad/road all around the world...

usually i have few hundreds artillary and MA and 40-50 settlers, and lots of workers standing by...

once i declared war on a AI, i will attack the city that i can reach immediately and install a new governor, normally the cities that AI build are quite close and connected with roads... i will then use my workers to build railroad and continue to attack more-in depth cities... and continue on until the whole civ is destroy

of course there are times when i cannot reach a city in 3 moves of ur MA... that where settler become important... i will move the settler to that edge of my newly captured city, destroy the city and settle there, this will push my culture 1 step closer to the enemy cities, then i move in my MA and crush them.

if u are planning to use this method, of course u need to really plan in advance, which city should be conquered first, which city can be destroyed etc. if u cannot reach the city, where can u place the settler so that u can reach it... etc etc

most of the times i will be unable to hit the cities with artillary because they are 3 square aways, so no need to save on artillary when u have a chance to bombard their cities... and because most of the time i cannot reach with my artillary, my MA will suffer heavy losses against their MI especially in deity level... but if u have enough MA, u will survive...

best thing about this method... no war-weariness... haha

Yep, that's a good tactic. It's called Blitzkrieg...

Or...if you have nukes and enough MA and Settlers..nuke the civ and roll in with the MA, take each city and poach empty land with Settlers ...but, that might incite a global world war, in which case, you might be on the short end of the stick

That's right -- I'm always ending up on the short end of the stick when I have "enough" Modern Armor and nuclear weapons.

RoP rape works well here when you dotn care what peopel think about you. set up MA's next to every city and as many bombard units as you can (if you like nuke wars then nukem as well) the same turn you declare war.
its very fun, especially if you nukem and every nation nukes you back and you go into world war.
