Last two games

[amboo]

Last two games I played, on Terra, there has been this one country that always ends up owning like 60% of the main continent, solely. First time around I wasn't paying attention, until I finally realize that it was just me Bismark, Napoleon, and Ramses, and Ramses owned like 80% of the map. Second time around I win a war, and take over too many cities then I could handle (-10 happiness even with all non-puppet with coliseums) and my economy sinks, with my army spread out thinly across my newly gained territory. Then Bismark sees the opportunity to take over his neighbors, and before I can recover from the last war, he owns 60% of the map.

Does this happen for your games, and how do you stop it.

Why did you make them non-puppets? Make them puppets so you don't get happiness penalty and slowly annex them over time if you need or want to.

no no, I did make all the new cities puppets, I was just saying that all the cities that were not puppets, had coliseums and I was still in -10 happiness, either way it's beside the point.

It's not beside the point because -10 happiness is probably why your economy sank. I'm just wondering what caused all that negative happiness.

I'm well aware of unhappiness causing economies to tank, and I didn't mean to undermine you, strategically I didn't care if my economy tanked a little, in exchange for the land, so I let it tank. Anyways, what I really want to know is if in the games you guys play there is usually a war monger by like the 1600-1700's that owns over half the map (excluding yourself)

Yeah I have seen this pattern as well.
