Nonviolent Gandhi: A Monarch game without military units

[Kylearan]

Hi,

motivated by Merzbow who suggested this, and by Charis who did something similar in Civ 3, I have tried to play a game on Monarch with the variant rule that I would not be allowed to build any military units! You can read about it here if you like.

Having all cities empty and undefended was definately scary..

[GIO888]

Astonishing.

And incredible food for thought!

 

[Adonias]

Brilliant, just brilliant!

I won't try this in a GOTM tho

 

[AWeeMoose]

Absolutely amazing!!! I second the nomination for "legendary" status!

I tell ya what...the time played really threw me off...

 

[GiantRaven]

Wow, that was great!

I might try this in my next game...fail miserably...

 

[Drofd]

Hi,

thanks all for your kind words!

I tell ya what...the time played really threw me off...

Let's just say I played incredibly sloppy during the middle and the end game. I knew I wanted to go for a diplo victory anyway, so I felt I didn't need to do much micromanagement. I've had unhappy citizens, hooked up resources way later than usual (I forgot about having furs for a long time, for example...), and not having to build military and move it around saves a lot of time, too.

OMG... that's just nuts! You truly are the master of diplomacy!

 

[apdavis828]

crazy goodness... wow i never even have considered such a strategy!

 

[Wallabulla]

that was a great read, diplomacy can be fun. In one game the only civ I got open borders with was Japan!, the only time that has happened..

 

[autocon]

very cool!

I once had a holy holy holy holy city and a holy holy holy city, but that was on like Chieftain. Pretty amazing you could win like that! Maybe next time try for cultural or space race for extra challenge?

 

[Darwin420]

man the one time I play with Ghandi he was at war with 4 people and nuked him 3 times. Anyway That was a truely great game :coool:

 

[Jamppa]

Amazing...

Congratulations. That idea has been always in my mind but I never found the courage to carry it on. You prove that a pacific way is posible, and it seems to be fun as well.
I really like the screens of new founded religion. Is that a MOD?

I did something alot like this on an EE3 mod. By the end I was the Pope and U.N. leader. Fun times, but I did make a few scouts for exploration I dont realy consider them millitary units because you cant attack with them.
