Gettin' CIVIL with it...

[xeven_god_of_helsibahr]

I have a GREAT strategy...If you have less than 7 civs playin', TAKE ANOTHER CIV's CAPITAL! IT MAY START A CIVIL WAR!! (Sorry, just wanted to get a dicussion started 'bout this topic. You probablly know about the capital thing...JUST TALK!!!)

P.S.: WHAT THE HECK DOES P.S. MEAN?!?!?

The Capital thing works only if the civ is large and powerfull (I think)

But admittedly, it is rather amusing to watch the enemy's grand and mighty empire split into weak, disorganized and squabbling factions... In theory, in practice they just tend to create two mediocrely strong civilizations who immediately make peace and ally with the enemy of their formerly united nation, i.e the player...

I've never been able to do that. Is it possible with the old civ 2 classic version, or just with more modern versions?

Let me clear it up.
Lets say a nation is in the America's and their capital is in the america's but they also have a number of cities all over the world. And they're the top civ. Most population and highest on Powergraph. You take their capital and all of the cities that aren't on the same continent as the capital revolt and turn into a new civ....

I have had a few games in which the second largest Civ next to mine was split by me into two new civ's so it doesn't have to be only the largest civ that splits

 

[thealien_83]

Nor do they necessarily have to be on different continents. It may very well be so that if the Civ is split up on different continents one of the continents become an own Civ when the civil wars sweeps the nation, but it can just as well happen if they are on one continent...

It has to do more with cities and dispersion of the empire. 15-20+ cities spread over a series of islands (or in Civ it generally turns into islands joined by 1 sliver of land.

)

Once the capital is taken then they will split. And it doesn't have to be ther strongest civ., so long as the civ has enough cities it should split.

Maybe someone should preform some tests on it.

Yo!

I know loads on this subject :b

Whay back in civ I decided to not build a start city...I forested an unihabited continent till around 1500 AD...when the russians took the zulu capital...and I got half the empire...

BUT that is never true: the empire doesn't split into two equal halves. My part of the empire was pants in comparison to the enemy civ! It was great progress considering all my leadership had concerned previously was the planting of forests.

In civ2 empires don't split in scenarios often as that option is usually turned off...in older versions of civ2 empire splitting occured if the civ was big and there was a space for a new civ (and if the capital was taken).

The later versions seem to make it less probable....or more likely I'm not killing off enemy civs that quickly whilst being the largest civ by far.

In civ I empire split the enemy almost every game!
