Okay I used to play civ until around 3000 AD, another time I played I started to build railroads on everysquare of the game and then I got bored. Anyone played until after 5000 AD? 10000 AD? 20000 AD?
 
Some games I've reached about 3000 A.D, playing on earth map with the English. Most Times I moved myself to the Island north of russia (strange enough grasslands)

But I can't call those games serieus attempts to reach an objective as conquering the world or reaching Alpha Centauri. The best thing is to call it a strange type of test.

One time I've come to 2300 AD in a 'normal' attempt to maximize my population and property. (Build every possible improvement in every city, no matter the citysize or need (profitability) for those improvements)

But usually the topic starter writes down his story, experiences or specific questions. (Maybe you forgot ;))

*checks his pockets*
Sorry, no stories at this time... maybe later. :P
:lol:
 
It gets boring after 2200 AD, by then you should have wiped every other civilization out bar one city, maybe next time I might let the remaining civ capture half my empire and go to war with them (they will have all the techs by then too! more of a challenge...)
 
Never beyond ~2150
 
well, actually i played for the very first time civ on my amiga500, dont remember the date in civ but i spent 2 months of my summer back in the day playing this game, learning, trying new stuff etc every day, minimum 8 hours, most time more. And by 2 months i mean 2 months!
 
I once played a game well past 5000AD. (This was about 12 years ago over a summer holiday from uni and I don't have the save file anymore alas!)

This was on the Earth map. I controlled the Americas. Sometime before 2000AD I had a huge nuclear war with the Russians and the English that left all of Europe, Asia, and Africa knee deep in pollution. This resulted in many rounds of global warming.

(Though I guess none of us got really big as the population bug wasnt set off so I could keep playing after 2080).

When finally I had cleared the pollution, and blockaded the English in one last city in South Africa I then sat back and played for maybe half a millenia or so.

Getting bored of all the work involved in that I started dismantling my cities (by building settlers until the city was removed) and also building forest to atone for my civilisations earlier ecological sins.

Eventually I moved the last city to Java and the rest of the world was covered in a huge planet wide forest. Even the last tiny English city was completely surrounded by forest.

I sat back and cranked the years by for another couple of thousand. Later I went and built some roads across asia and africa (all previous traces of human development having been removed some three thousand years before).

I even cleared one or two squares to let the English build another city or two, but unlike their nuke packing ancestors the modern English tribe had no backbone or initiative left after three millenia in the jungle and didnt take advantage of it.
 
That's neat. Was the nuclear war one when they nuked back? How much of a fight did they put up?
 
Yep. I think in that game it was me who started the fight, and when I couldnt win by conventional means I started using nukes. They certainly shot nukes back, but I cant remember if that was before or after I started using them.

Ive had other games though where the computer just suddenly nukes me with no real provocation. (Invariably its the Aztecs!)
 
I hate the Aztecs!!

Great, Monty probably heard that and will nuke me in my next game.
 
Played to around 7000 AD, which was amusing for a 11 year old.
