Ever tried playing Civ after drinking too much??

^I would think that the P*** factor would be another drawback to playing the game fully loaded.:mischief:

A couple times I've had a bit too much to drink while playing. Usually the next time I load up from where I left off, I'm like "what the hell is going on here?" Units wandering in random places, relations with AI civs messed up, weird trade deals, cities building things they shouldn't be.... not good.

If those are the symptoms of playing drunk, then I have never played a sober game of civ. That is my usual state of affairs.
 
The Road to Nowhere: A Tragic Tale of an Empire Undone by Liquor.
It was early 2006, I'd just returned from Iraq and was drinking far too much, and I'd finally got my hands on Civ IV. Things were going great for Caesar: adversaries brought to heel, allies kept in check, wealth, health, and happiness prevailing in all my cities. Then I started drinking. I went through about a case of beer and passed out. I woke up at noon with my head on the keyboard and a vicious hangover. There was not a single one of my core cities that did not have plumes of smoke and clouds of disease rising above it. The Mongols, formerly an enfeebled and negligible adversary, had reduced the Eastern part my empire to ruins. The few tattered units of my army were either in full flight to the capital city, or posted in remote and strategically irrelevant locations. My allies had grown hostile, borders were closed; even Gandhi hated me. Most humiliating of all, it seems the drunken madman of an emperor had initiated a massive public works project: as their society collapsed around them, all of my Workers had been sent to build a long and tortuous road through the desert towards a small peninsula dotted by mountains and devoid of resources.
After some Alka-Seltzer and a pilgrimage to kneel before the Porcelain God, I tried to salvage the situation, but all was truly lost.
I don't drink so much any more.
 
Last time I did that I was attacking Mao Zedong with Montezuma's Jaguars. It was not a pretty sight.
 
Playing while intoxicated is when I usually try the dumbest ideas just to see what would happen:

One game I played almost the entire time with just one city. Granted it was a really big neat city with lots of wonders and culture and stuff, but obviously I was last place in the scores.

Another game I thought it'd be great to try and score every religion possible. I ended up with an even lower score than the one-city game and so far behind in tech I think I still had warriors by 1 AD.

Another game I figured it'd be fun to play the Ice Age map. THBBBBT!

Maybe the road-building workers were just getting a head start on your civilizations autobahn :lol:
I've come back to games after ending the night on a drunken note and often end up having to look at older saves to find out where I started making my inebriated decisions and just re-start from before then.
