Funniest Thing the Computer has Said?

It was quite amusing when I last night, playing as China had managed to get stuck on a small ( some 7 cities on it ) island remote from everything and generally pretty backwater, I was something akin to Japan in it's earlier years. Suddenly an american explorer plops off a caravel and then Abe comes a-calling. He hits my poor Mao leader with the offer to trade maps for a price ( good for me indeed ) and the comment : "You don't get out much do you?"

That was rather insulting I think. ;)
 
How about "Sorry, Montezuma, but I lost all of my country's treasury in casino..." - quoted from great leader of Communism in China, Mao Tse Tun.
 
Those are all pretty good. Here's another one I got recently:

When you double-click on an unhappy citizen, it will give you a list of reasons why they are unhappy. When you do this when there has recently been a draft, one of the reasons is "No more draft! Hell no, we won't go!"
 
Nice one, coming uoip!

Lincoln (Proclamation of Abolution of Slavery, page 5th) - "Nice to see you Montezuma (or something like that), let's trade and make EVERYBODy rich!"
 
The Aztec people graciously thank the people of - whatever you culture's name is.:confused:

Duh, can't even remember who you are talking to?
 
Once, trying to get Egypt to declare war or something, I got something like this:

"I'll create a diplomatic incident on your head with this rock!"

Also, another time, I had a Domination victory, and Cleopatra said, "Two words: Wait 'til next time!"
 
I've gotten plenty of laughs out of the diplomacy in Civ3, but for my money, the funniest line in any Sid Meier game came from way back in Colonization.

As veteran players of Colonization know, the King often tries to raise your tax rate. You can respond by giving in (and kissing the royal pinky ring), or defying him and holding a "tea party", sacrificing some of your resources and refusing to trade them. There's a long list of resources, and the game selects which one to sacrifice based on what you currently have on the docks. So you can have a Cotton Party, a Tobacco Party, an Ore Party, and so on.

Well, one time I wanted to defy the King, and the resource up for sacrifice was Horses. So I chose the party and got a message that went something like:

New Amsterdam Horses Party! Dutch colonists throw 50 tons of Horses into the sea at New Amsterdam!

The image of a bunch of men struggling to hoist horses above their heads and throw them overboard nearly made me fall out of my chair with laughter.

Ah, Colonization, still one of my favorite games after all these years, and currently the only reason for me to use DOS-mode on my PC.
 
I was playing as the Japanese when my MMP(mutual protection pact) was about to expire with Greece Alexander said
"It`s always a SINCERE pleasure dealing with the most kind,gracious and generous Japanese.Unless there`s more to discuss,I`d like to go home and shoot myself..."



Saved me alot of time as i was targeting them for a 4 civ war to wipe them out..lol :D
 
I thought that this was a great way for the AI to ask for my help!

My advisors tell me that we need to ally with you in our war against the Germans, so that your forces can bear the brunt of the combat while we gather all of the loot. Are we agreed then

Yea Im gonna help you after you say that :rolleyes:
 
I've seen the stealing chickens and annoying women thing three dozen times, got dull quick, but with the Aztecs I saw two tresspass-related messages I hadn't seen before.

One when I was tresspassing:
Ah, Alexander. I assume that the Greek troops near to Tenochtitlan have come to volunteer as sacrifices for the upcoming harvest festival?

And the other when they were and I confronted them about it:
Uh, certainly. They were just looking for 'volunteers' to join in the upcoming winter sacrifices. We'll try elsewhere, shall we?

Another great one unrelated to tresspassing:
Evil Germany persists in attacking our cities, our women and children, and our cattle. Please ally with the Romans, Alexander! We MUST protect those cattle!

Liked those much better than the chickens and women one I see too often ;>
 
Xentropy that last one was REALLY good!, course there is no greater agony than losing on chieftain and seeing the words go back to chieftan!:cry: (course it was my first ever civ. game)
 
Once i had troops in greek territory and alexander told me to get out, the agreeing response that i got to choose was "My bad!" (after that was the usual will withdraw stuff)
 
i have 2 funny english ones (besides the usual)

1. after winning a diplomatic victory on regent, other leaders, bruised and bandaged, start blurping out comments. and a badly hurt elizabeth said "my doctor says i can play again in about 60 seconds"

2. also from elizabeth "please hurry up, i'm scheduled for my milk bath soon"
 
Just an off topic question, and sorry for being ignorant, but whats the deal with 'My Bad'?

Is this like a bad translation like 'All your Base' or what? How did it originate?

Thanks,
Brian
 
"My bad" seems to be a Europeanism that spread via the Internet. I first encountered it on IRC a few years ago, but I have never heard a North American actually speak it in conversation.
 
Ok,it seems that the "all your base are belong to us" thing is pretty popular.Can somebody tell me were it originates?Is it a movie quote or something?
