Motto

[Caseyboy97]

If your nation had a motto what would it be?

Mine would be:Exploration And Exploitation.

 

[vmxa]

Search and destroy.

 

[splunge the 2nd]

Tongue in cheek:
Workers, we don't need no stinking workers!
Zululand-unecessary wars since 4000 BC
When in doubt, reload.
Peace treaties are made to be broken.

 

[Aabraxan]

Iron: The Gift That Keeps On Giving.

 

[Sparthage]

Hello... Goodbye (I once found an enemy at 3500 BC with an undefended capital, so long Greece)

 

[TheOverseer714]

I'm gonna get you eventually.

 

[Turner]

Veni, vidi, vici

 

[Ataxerxes]

Do unto others before they do unto you.

Serious: You either trade me the resources in a fair trade or I'll pry them from your cold, dead hands.

 

[Lord Emsworth]

"We've got bridges. Just for you."

 

[Spoonwood]

Explore, Expand, Exterminate. Oh wait... that's a dalek motto.

Oftentimes, I guess, it would go something like "you will adore us. And once we adored, we still adored." Or maybe... dare I say it....

Spoiler :

ALL YOUR GOLD ARE BELONG TO US. YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE. MAKE YOUR TIME.

 

[ChaosArbiter]

Especially once you get Nukes ....

Swords - they don't require reloading and they never jam.

 

[DWetzel]

"Can you keep it down over there, we're trying to read!"

 

[Spoonwood]

"Can you keep it down over there, we're trying to read!"

Literally laughs out loud. That's a great motto for a peaceful 20k, space, or diplo. game.

 

[Desertsnow]

Up from the dust and reaching for the stars.

 

[GamezRule]

"All you're base are belong to us, now'

 

[templar_x]

"Who of you jokers is trying to come in second?"

templar_x

 

[Dumanios]

"Marge, get me my shotgun."

 

[darski]

Do unto others before they do unto you.

Serious: You either trade me the resources in a fair trade or I'll pry them from your cold, dead hands.

Love this one!!!

 

[Bartleby]

For certain games: "KHAAAAAAN!"

 

[Spoonwood]

For certain games: "KHAAAAAAN!"

I don't recall a particular time this happened, but I know I've played plenty of 20k attempts at Deity, and a few attempts at Sid, where the game got torched by getting attacked too early (or I didn't know how to handle the attack). Or I shared the island with someone, which the only times I've tried it ended badly... most of the time I'd just axe a game where I didn't have my own island. Usually my opponents were something like Japan, Zululand, the Aztecs (or Arabia), and Mongolia. No doubt, there's plenty of times I could have legitimately shouted that. I'll have to remember that once I get my new computer.

Edit: Now I remember a particular instance. I wanted to win this game as a Sid 20k game. But, Khan decided to attack me, and I certain felt like saying something like "KHAAAAAAAN!"
