How to know if youre boned

When you start on a one tile island. :p
 
When your medieval-era army is fighting the ai on the other side of the continent and suddenly someone else lands a stack of Gunpowder units next to your capital.

Also when you're beaten to two different wonders (each 1 turn away) and the ai gets 3 other civs to declare war on you. On the same turn. :sad:
 
When I see Boudica, oh yeah, I'm totally boned.
 
Once I see them start to build the spaceship and I calculate the 50K finish date for my third city, I have a pretty good idea who will win.
 
When the Barbs start gifting you techs out of sympathy.

As an aside, that would make for a sweet easter egg, considering the Barbs' leaderhead is Sid Meier. "Hey, Clam Spammer, looks like you're boned! Here, have a tech!"
 
When, on a standard map, one AI manages 22% or more of the world's land/pop without capturing a single city off another civ. If it's the human's underexpansion that allowed this, it's bad play. If it's another AI's underexpansion (or bad spawn) that allows this, it's a heaping helping of BULL:(:(:(:(:(:( fake difficulty.
 
when you pick a name that is quite similar to someone else's.
 
I knew I was boned when I was boxed in by Monty and his capital had five seafood, horses and copper. Can anyone say the word 'whip'? I didn't last long.
 
Your worst enemy builds the AP and it's in a well-spread religion you don't have. Feels like the Inquisition.
 
when you realize not only our shaka & monte allies, their on a continent with you, with different religions. I hate map generator...

when SHAKA thinks your a warmongerer (it was only spain, mali, and aztecs!)

you get nuked by ghandi.

your 7 year old brother is telling you what to build...

The world turns into a desert...
 
-when 3 longbowman and an archer drive off an invading force of modern armour, gunships and marines while being bombarded by battle ships and artillery

-when gandhi orders a nuclear strike at your neighbors and is "Annoyed" at you

Both actually happened
 
...when Caesar is due north, and Alexander is due east, and you are the population/land/GNP king who doesn't start wars but refuses all demands. Caesar invades, you takes three cities, destroy his SOD, and win a cease fire (by PAYING him :mad:). Seven turns into the peace treaty, Alexander invades, you take two of HIS cities, destroy SOD, etc., and manage to wrangle a couple bucks from him in the exchange. Caesar invades again, stalemate ensues, Alexander invades again, peace with Caesar.

Repeat this cycle SEVEN more times, my empire is unit-less, down four cities, with more WW than should be possible, tech loser, etc., etc.

Every time I was close to decapitating an opponent, the other would declare war. :wallbash:

All other civ's were hopelessly tiny, though advanced, and wouldn't join in anyway. Didn't help that all I could offer at the end was 1-2 gps... :crazyeye:
