Hello, I don't know if this is the right place to do this, but I am starting a new thread to discuss times in various games where something amusing involving Russia happened.
First of all: Civilization IV, in Civilization IV I once had a game where I was on continents, standard speed and size and I was living on a continent alone with Catherine. Catherine and I had very good relations for the first half of the game, she was actually friendly with me. Then out of nowhere she declares war on me, wtf? I thought that friendly civs never declared war and this is the only time I ever witnessed it. All she really did was send a lot of horse archers and trebuchets at me. She captured a city right away then it was stalemate, war dragged on for about twenty turns and then we signed a peace deal. I researched military tradition, then got a force of cuirassiers, declared war and captured the city I lost to her and another lightly defended city. She was then willing to capitulate. I don't know why Catherine behaved this way, very unusual even for an AI.
Second: Empire/ Napoleon Total War, in these games, particularly Empire there are a lot of questionable things surrounding Russia. In Empire total war Russia has as their militia unit, the streltsy, which don't have muskets, and are mainly just cannon fodder. I am going to load Empire Total War to see some stats, then I will be back.
