Hi all,
I have been reading the CivFanatics boards since I got Civ III and have been playing since Civ I. Civ is still my favorite game of all time.
I had a very funny thing happen in my current game that caused me to finally register so I could post it.
I am playing a monarch game as Zululand on a normal, pangea world with 8 civs. I was allowing my allies to finish off Rome while I built factories when Hammurabi sends a stack of doom next to one of my cities, 79 units mostly infantry.
He is attacking my city where I have a 3 tile choke point with fortresses in the mountains. I had kept Babylon trapped here the whole game and I guess he finally got fed up with it.
The city was defended with about 6 infantry and I had 4 more infantry plus some swordsman and Impi in the fortresses. I only had 2 units in every other city so I moved 1 from each to this city. That gave me about 23 units to defend against his 79.
I press enter and Hammurabi declares war. When the dust clears, poor Hammurabi has lost 70 units and I have lost 8 and gained a great leader. It was so funny to watch all his infantry attacking and dying.
I'll post the save in case any of you want to watch the carnage.
