The Mad Russian
Armchair Dictator
Greetings everyone!
In my second post-patch game, I drew Egypt on a very heavily jungled and forested Small Continents map with Russia, Caesar, Sully and the Incas in one of my Future Era start games. I've been involved already with two wars, one against Sully allied with Cathy and a quick war with Caesar. The only winning condition is Domination. 8 Civs total with 8 CS. Info Addict is the only mod and I have 2 GGs with a few Artillery, Bombers and mostly MIs. The map settings are all Random, including Resource balancing. Disable Start Bias is on. The only Civs Friendly to me are Arabia and Russia. All the others are Guarded.
While Cathy is taking the Ottoman capital, Caesar pops up, telling me his his backstabbing me because he wants to re-evaluate our friendship, and 4 turns later, as his troops are crawling through the woods and jungle, I hear the whirring of something I've hardly ever seen let alone used:
To me, the AI definitely seems a lot better and with the extra diplomacy factors, although it's not like Civ 4 (I wish it was), keeping a strong relationship with good trading seems more important than ever.
When I saw Caesar announce he was backstabbing me, I admit I was pretty excited. He has the #2 military in the world and I am #3. I never expected to see that GDR and I guess now I have to expect anything.
It's going to be a very interesting game and I am curious to see what else the AI decides to throw at me.
Has anyone witnessed Naval warfare yet? I've been waiting to play on an Archipelago map with Denmark, France, England and Polynesia for a while now.
