Why isn't Spain dead yet?

 

[GamezRule]

Spain almost never dies in my games.

Looks like my former allies, Aztlan and Persia, have all their ducks in a row...

All those frigates are returning from their mutual attempt to take out the German' last island city. I'd declare war on Persia as soon as I built up a tank force, and most of those Persian frigates were blown apart by one destroyer. The Aztecs parked their frigates off the Persian coast, for some reason...which came in handy when I recruited them as my allies. The Aztecs were the only power in this game I didn't reduce to a rump state or destroy completely.

 

[Bowsling]

What Persian frigates?

 

[Sparthage]

This is from my story. The Germans just were traded out of the Ancient Age for gold, I am about halfway through the Indusrial Age. I exited the trade screen, went back, and got this message...

I think that it's opposite day in Germany. Look at the minimap in the corner, Germany is the Blue city in South America.

That happens all the time dealing with Bismark...

 

[darski]

That happens all the time dealing with Bismark...

Ain't that the truth. He was an ancestor of Baghdad Bob and those genes just don't go away.

 

[Smellincoffee]

What Persian frigates?

Why, the ones not appearing in the above shot. They came out of the darkness two turns later.

When I saw this start for India it was the first thing I thought of...

Vegetarian Vengence

for this one with those two major continents... guess which one had 4 Civs and which had 2 at the start...

Yeah... no contest

 

[GamezRule]

That's uncommon.

 

[Bowsling]

Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture at the time, but I shared a decent-sized island with two other civs, which were gone by the mid-middle ages.

Then I meet the other civs, one of which is Germany, who had an entire island bigger than mine to themselves, and they were no isolated!

 

[darski]

To be fair... I have played a game where I was alone on a goodly-sized continent and 5 Civs were on the other. And no I didn't complain. I was busy breeding my cities like Sumerians to fill my coast.

 

[GamezRule]

@Bowlsing: Was Germany backwards at all?

 

[Bowsling]

No! There were essentially two separate groups of islands, and Germany was a part of the other one. They were, along with me and the Iroquois, leading in technology.

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Well that was certainly unexpected.

Spoiler :

 

[MaxaTheGreat]

I don't get it. Is it that the settler pair is exactly where you were going to place a city?

 

[Graceheart the Leopard]

Not only that, there's also the fact that it comes from a completely unexpected civ.

 

[darski]

so how did you handle it?

 

[GamezRule]

Doesn't matter, a better spot would be 1E then 1NE.
