The "OMG! Look what happened in DoC!" Thread

[SultanRedSnake]

If Ottomans can’t grab Damascus or Thessalonika early they will never get iron and are worn down over time by HRE, Poland, and sometimes Italy, who usually declare war on them.

Oh here's some Peak Irony for ya (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?! 🎖🎖🎖🎖): Ottos owned both cities on on this turn. The Palaiologan Rennaissance seems to have denied the Macedonian iron, and over in the Levant a mondo stack of Great Bombs with a meager Janny escort was marooned in Damascus without cultural control of a single tile. Hehe in both cases they could literally see the iron from the city walls. It was a unusual game all around so don't read the above as a submitted counterexample, as I agree with your insight entirely anyway.

No idea how Javanese Nagasaki this happened (played the Dutch).

In my SE Asia games I have seen Java take cities outside its historical territory. But usually it was Saigon or Indrapura. Maybe the AI knew it was lightly defended and sent an invasion force. Java’s AI is aggresive and the AI in general seems much better at invading across bodies of water than in the past.

Java been Hot Lava all around fo' sho'. I saw the "Javanese Civilization has been destroyed" I think for the first the other day. Almost spit my out my sip of beer in the wake of such dumbfoundible flabbergasterisitude.

We'll see if mighty Krakatoa can still erupt like this *when* (fingers-crossed) the bossman deems that the TC areas be adjusted to our particular wishes (#FallOfMajapahit #Batavia #VOC)

This is the first time I've ever seen Ruthenia build Saint Sophia Cathedral.

This is the first time I've ever seen Ruthenia build Saint Sophia Cathedral.

It occurs when Byzantium Empire collapses. Was it still alive?

 

[Temujin8k]

It's a bit difficult to build the St. Sophia Cathedral historically (~ 1011 - 1037). Takes a while for Orthodoxy to spread naturally, and building it is slow, whether purely via city production or via Great Engineer. To be fair, it ain't part of the Rus UHV...

Here's a look at the old world at the Mayan start date. Greece built the Oracle in Messana in 1185 BC, and the culture push was enough to prevent the Phoenicians from ever founding Carthage (and getting their core and capital moved to North Africa).

Guess the Oracle predicted the Phoenecians would be trouble.

TIL the Phoenicians don't get culture cleared off the tile for the Carthage spawn

Stumbled upon the English invading across the Channel and taking Paris.

Soon, they took Bordeaux and forced the French to capitulate.

Somebody told the Portuguese they saw Prester John vibing near the Black Sea.

Western European civs loved to grab random cities in Eastern Europe. It reminds me of the old 1000 AD scenario for vanilla Civ IV.

 

[Derdan]

It's very annoying, and it really slows down Russia. Especially if a strong civ like France takes cities like Kazan and Kharabali.

Both, in my experience.
