shortest game in history

[saintides]

I really kicked some butt.

Started out with grapes, nice food resources and just a good area. I knew I was going to win this game. Built a warrior, sent him out exploring. The land is looking good, like the garden of eden. I get comfortable, as I know this is going to be a fun game. Built second warrior, start settler production.

China warrior comes .. declares war. Kills me.

Game over.

I love this game!

LOL! Very funny indeed
I've seen an After-Action Report very similar to yours with EU2 (very funny). It's named: "Orleans, A short story"

Another story of the unfourtunate! The worst is when you move your seteler to try to find a better starting city, and suddenly out of no where comes the barbarian warior.... game over.

It kinda makes you think about how many hundreds of real life civilizations began there short history with so much promiss, only to be whiped out before they even get a chance to make an impact. Kinda sad almost to think about what the world missed that they could have given us.

I never had a barbarian attack my first settler. This happen? That is scary! Guess I didn't have the shortest game in history. I'm sure I didn't, quite sure others had shorter games. I had a land of gold though only to lose .... errrrr

What really got me was I thought I couldn't lose that game if I tried, got all cocky about it.

Scary to think how many civs were born in the world with such great ideas and wonders .. only to die (snort .. I'm blowing into a tissue, It's so sad .. it had to of happened!).

Mine was a little longer.
Found city, start to build Warrior. 5 turns, 4 turns, 3 turns, 2... hey, wait a minute! there`s a Babylonian Archer there!

Contact Archer. Babylon refuses to deal with me.
1 turn to Warrior, Archer marches up, Warrior following him.
Babylonians demand all my Gold and Technologies. I give them what they want, making amental note that they will die - I`ll them back into the stone age (yes, a bit longterm, but worth it )
Warrior built. Archer attacks, kills Warrior.

End Game!

I've had a similar game. Happens quite often on deity. Build my city (right next to a Bab warrior stack which I didn't know), Bab warrior comes over, declares war, walks into my tiny undefended city.

I thought the Barbs only plunder and loot your city, not take over it

Bab= babylonian
not Barb = barbarian

 

[BiatchGuy]

don't feel dumb, I thought it meant Barbarian, too

 

[Carbon_Copy]

Ha! I can beat that. Once, I forgot to change the victory conditions in a game I had just started, and I retired in 4000 BC. That game didn't even last a full turn.

 

[Godinex]

I start the game in the future era, with one leader. Make the UN with the leader, and in the same turn I lose.... hate the diplomatic victory.

 

[RenegadeXH]

Ive never played diety before in civ 3 Juicy, do the other civ's start off with an army allready? I mean how else could you be attacked so soon after you started?

 

[Colonel Kraken]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I make nice to Babylon. Unfortunately for me, Babylon gets a bit spunky with their Bowmen once they discover what such a great unit they are.

Babylon gave me a royal spanking. They swarmed me with Bowmen, and I mean SWARMED.

I didn't have prayer.

I was impressed.

But they're still scum bags.
