I'm not sure if this is really the right place for it, but I thought you guys might enjoy this:
So I started a game as Babylon and settler'd+culture-bombed pretty much ALL of the globe (on turn 2). as in cities and culture across the entire world. I put great walls in every "continent" so that barbs wouldnt go around razing everything. and i set my stance with china, egypt, and the indy's to war and conquered+culture bombed Xi'an and Thebes as well. So basically with all of the world babylonian, I wanted to see what happened when the stability caused a collapse...
well its been 111 turns and after deleting a few spawns from other civs, nothing has changed. my global empire is still completely intact despite losing 2 cities (to poor great wall placement, which i fixed) and an INSANE stability of -3302.
