Get your dog off my grass!

[darski]

I'm just curious to know how many of us believe that a continent is just for
ME​

simple question = simple choice

 

[Sparthage]

Yes. Get out of my front yard, losers!

 

[CommandoBob]

So much more fun when you play pangea!

 

[Raliuven]

It's not that I don't know how to share, but Feng Shui requires all connected landmasses be of one Civ color. If Feng Shui is not convincing enough, there are always Riders to assist with the redecorating.

 

[shl7070]

Redecoration work is for servants, not nobles so I use MDI.
Better still many times I use archers to get the job done fast.

 

[Kaidonni]

Well, the advert clearly states the apartment is for one person only, no sharing.

 

[Theov]

Does the pope ... in the woods?

Now that is a Civer

 

[Ataxerxes]

Do unto others before they do unto you.

The game is so much easier when I don't have to worry about my neighbors attacking me.

 

[Quintillus]

Depends on what type of game I feel like playing, but I guess generally, no, control of the whole continent isn't near the top of my priority list. Most of the time my expansion is more based on, do they control a resource I need/want? Are they more powerful and/or annoying than I like them to be and need to be reminded who the human is? If so, sure, I'll make more progress towards continental control. Otherwise, if they're being nice, are harmless, and don't control something critical, coexistance is possible in many of my Civ games.

I'm almost sure this is Civ heresy

 

[ChaosArbiter]

I play Huge Pangaea games, and ... actually, I don't particularly subscribe to that. I mean, my win-cons are typically Conquest and/or Domination, but I usually stop playing once it's obvious the AI's not going to win the eventual Knockdown-Dragout fight that would ensue (and I play slow and long, so games get into the Modern Age).

So I guess I'm more a "if your dog does something on my grass, I'm grilling it and serving it to the neighborhood" kind of guy, with the implication that the entire continent is "my grass."

 

[Aabraxan]

All of the continents are mine. They're simply on loan to AI civs for a while.

Hmm, a man after my own heart.

 

[gozpel]

2 continents, then the first IS yours, no exceptions!

The second continent is theirs until they made it pretty enough, then it IS yours. No exceptions!

 

[Diviner]

It is MINE always. But I'm not suicidal though so I can play friends with the guys so long as their wretched legions are too much danger and I have other easier targets. However, I usually never bother with other landmasses if there is still cities left to conquer in mine (except the Great Library conquest).

 

[Fiddlin Nero]

Since world conquest is my only objective, you would think that securing my home continent would be first on my list. It usually is, but in my current game I have expanded onto another continent with the goal of building a second core(yes, only in Vanilla/PTW.) For me it is a question of expansion while mantaining acceptable border integrity.

I'm playing civ1 now and there are 2 (two!! I tell you!) neighbours on my continent... the Babylonians and the Romans.
I blocked them so they can't move towards my side and I can't go around their cities (remember that you can't go around enemy units in civ1?). So yes, please build more cities. Develop the land. See that hill? Please build that mine.
Because, one day... it will be MINE.

You go guy!!!

 

[Smellincoffee]

I might tolerate a civ if their land is useless and they're no real threat, but I won't tolerate someone powerful near me. Many of my game maps reflect my empire spread across the continent with the remains of my neighbors pushed to the artic fringes, where they babysit the oil until I am ready to take it.
