Funny Screenshots: Part Deux

I'd been going for a UHV, but wasn't paying attention to the date, and realized I wasn't gonna get the 2nd one during 1723. I thought it was 1740, but it was 1730, plus i didn't realize it had 3 year intervals, so i was gonna play to 1740. I quit after this, becuase I looked it up and it was 1730. (For non-RFC, you have to settle 3 cities on each continent by 1730. I failed.)

I still love it when World war breaks out in a game, my last one did that as well I ended up going to war with another Civ that had two vassels and I had three. It was glorious.

I'm lost at the first sentence.

Care to explain in other words?

UHV is Unique Historical Victory, another component to Rhye's godly mod of Rhyes and Fall of Civilization (RFC).

Oh and I guess he was playing the English, as one of the things they have to accomplish is to settle 3 cities on every continent by 1730 (I think).

 

[DroopyTofu]

Sorry, Matthew. I'm not I knew when I wrote it it would be hard to follow. Long story short, I knew I had already lost, so I quit.

Ah, lol. That clears everything up.

Oh, well you could have just said that!

From RFC, I accepted Turkey as a vassal, who was at war withSpain and Portugal. They DOW'd on me (and my vassals), then the defencive pacts started to kick in. I'm not sure that the event log even has a ll the DOW's. I was setting there laughing for like 30 seconds as the War Horns kept repeating themselves over and over and over and over and over...

EDIT: I was right. There were enough DOW's that the event log started deleting them. It should have started with "Spain/Portugal has declared war on England." That was maybe half way through the cycle.

I know the sceens shots are all about world war, and that is indeed quite spectacular, but there is something that puzzles me. The Diplomatic relations screen shot shows you have a couple of defensive pacts while you are at war with three players. How is this possible? I don't have the mod youj're using - maybe it's part of that...? In any variation I've played, any war declaration cancels defensive pacts.

I bring you a screenshot displaying some truly brilliant work by architects:

I'm honestly not sure what's the weirdest: The Walls on the mountain, the Library being built partially inside the mountain, with the part sticking out somehow defying gravity, the drydock being cut in half by the wall, the Forbidden Palace being outside the wall...

 

[jmas]

the Library being built partially inside the mountain, with the part sticking out somehow defying gravity

That's my favorite. I'll call it the Yucca Mountain library.

The Forbidden Palace is the best protected building in that city. You have to breach a wall, get through the whole city and breach another wall to get to it. The sides of it are protected by water mouth and by the sea itself.
On the opposite, the castle is absolutely unprocted
What I like about this pic is the neatly harbored fishing boat (not to confuse with Fishing Boat) in the bottom left corner.

Apparently you can be the most powerful while having a terrible score. awesome.

 

[salty mud]

That makes sense, you may have the most warriors, but are only just researching Sailing in 10AD.

Don't give up now: those Galleys and Triremes are only 422 turns away!

is it just me or do the borders not match up with the wall

 

[Matthew5117]

^Its Justinian, meaning the borders are black and thus are hard to see. I can make out the border....

Edit: Oh, I see it. At the top and left. Its not you.

 

[deanej]

The wall does not update if the borders change.

True, but you could always invade from the sea, and then the forbidden palace is screwed.

As to the castle, that's supposed to defend me, I don't care if it's inside or outside the walls.
