Interesting Screenshots

[Optional]

If you do a 5 City Challenge, you're not allowed to have more than 5 cities on the interturn, so you end up burning a lot. But be assured; Eldar won this one.

 

[eldar]

490AD conquest win, on a completely random standard-sized map which turned out to be an 80%-water pangaea.

The big clue is the city that's 3rd in the list...

 

[choxorn]

That's certainly not a 5CC, his population is too big.

The likely explanation is that those are the only 5 cities he has culture built in.

 

[Chamnix]

Spoiler Answer :

He captured the Temple of Artemis in Istanbul. Ningpo 2 and Chinan 2 were founded on the same landmass as Istanbul which was separate from the pangaea.

 

[Optional]

But why is there no Pyramids town, no Colossus town etc. in the list?

 

[eldar]

Because I didn't build them and they have zero culture. Chamnix is correct.

Despite the map being a "pangaea", the Ottomans were on an island, some distance from the main landmass. So I took them out last.

They'd built the ToA, and I got two turns' culture out of in the handful of cities (two beach-heads, Istanbul, and another city) before I took the last 3 on the same turn and finished the game.

So the top 5 cities, culture-wise, were:
Beijing (Palace)
Shanghai (Forbidden Palace)
Istanbul (2 turns from a ToA Temple - it is highest in the city list so comes top of the rest)
Ningpo 2 (2 turns from ToA Temple)
Chinan 2 (2 turns form ToA Temple)

The last 2 probably slotted into the city list in slots vacated by razing cities.

I didn't hand-build a single temple or library the whole game.

Literacy, 3% and a life expectancy of 45 years. That's an interesting world you've created, eldar.

i was playing the East Asia Mod, and when i came across this

i thought it was rather funny

 

[darski]

I put these two bits together just so you could see why the Foreign Advisor's remark is even more funny than he knows. The FA's remark came up as I was preparing a Peace Treaty with Smoke Jaguar

@ Taras Bulba... I love that screenie. Really, really funny. I love the wit that we see in Civ. it is one of the big draws.

It's almost as if "All your base are belong to us".

 

[choxorn]

Yoda, is that line existant in your mod?

That's hilarious, darski. Maybe the worker is the city planner!

 

[Yoda Power]

Hey the mod isn't finish yet! I haven't done anything to the diplomacy text yet.

BTW Taras Bulba, you're doing quite well, got any feedback on the mod?

its a REALLY fun mod... I love it. After the initial expansion, I've found the rest is rather easy, but then again, I'm playing on Chieftain

although I have gotten farther than that... the war to the south, defeating the Gray civ (the civ starts with a V, that's all I remember), the war with the blue (Mauru, or something like that) to the east is coming soon, so I can obtain all of India

but all and all, its been one of my favorite mods, and I can't wait for it to see it finished

 

[choxorn]

Mauryan and Vijayanagar?

 

[Taras Bulba]

Mauryan and Vijayanagar?

hahah, what he said

sorry, I'm using my brother's laptop while my dad works on the computer with Civ, so I didn't have time to look it up on the Editor, or even open up the Game.... you posted before i found the thread in the Creations section


EDIT: AHAHA, nice screenshot Darski, I read what the advisor said before, but I hadn't looked at the map

 

[silver 2039]

The Japanese landed:



And then they declared war:



And the city fell:



Nicely done for the AI. I was surprised. Going by pure numbers the British are stronger than anyone else, Japan isn't even in the top 5. BJapan launched an audacious invasion against the number one military power in the world. Hm...just like real life Japan. This is pretty awesome anyway, I was afraid the British were going to come gunning for me. But guess their nice and distracted now.

I think my people are SERIOUSLY going to starve in new capitol...

Thats a famine brewing right there.

 

[darski]

I was just coming to terms with my cow envy since I can usually get control of the cow on my maps but now you are getting me into wheat envy as well. ((((sigh))))

That would be an interesting game to play out, you have all that wheat but it is flood plains, desert and plains otherwise. Still and all...

 

[Northen Wolf]

I should have 4000 BC save, want it?

Emperor, pangea 80% water, random enemies 8.

Oh, Domination and Diplomatic victories are turned OFF, I don't count these as "proper victory".

I appreciate the offer but I have modded my game so I don't like to bring in outside saves anymore. it would be nice if you let us know how it goes though.
