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

[Fresol]

I was experimenting with the Mayans and saw the "The Great Wall has been built in a far away land!" message. I consider the date to be rather late so I WB'ed to check it out, and saw this. At first I thought the Chinese built it, but then I couldn't find the exterior part of the wall. Until then did I realize the Great Wall might be located in Haojing. I can't find any explanation for it though!

It was built in Haojing and the turn it was finished by China the city was taken possibly?

I was thinking more about secession, but I can't explain the barbarian and war elephant part. If it were secession then the city should've gone indie.
I'm pretty sure minor civs can't build the Great Wall. Barbarian takeover may be the only plausible reason for this to have happened.

IIRC secessions to barbs can happen, though I could be wrong

Secesion to barbarians can happen (never forget the mali pilgrimer who wants to go to barbarian Mecca )

The city ceded to ruins.

It turns out the Great Wall is built in Kaifeng.

That's what happens to Harappa so their cities are gone to give way for India and Persia. And the cities also get massive so it gives an unfair boost if they're conquered.

Barbarians almost never build up enough culture to make cities secede. Barbarian Mecca is a result of collapse or, more rarely, conquest.

Maybe it is actually a failed space elevator.

Maybe it is actually a failed space elevator.

Perhaps it's a long V1 launcher.

Taoism founded in Egypt?

Taoism founded in Egypt?

Not really that OMG. In fact, in my experience, Taoism is founded outside of China so often that the Chinese founding it in 3000 BC games is practically the exception, rather than the rule.

 

[Fresol]

Sometimes you can even see Confucianism founded outside of China.

Hi everybody:

It has been a long time since my last post, but I've never forgotten this great modmod and I often play it.

I'm playing as the Byzantine Empire and I've stopped arab and seljuk invasions. . My economy works so well so I discovered Optics by 1213 A.D. and crossed the unknown oceans...

In unknown lands I've discovered new civilizations. Their conquer were almost completed when mongol hordes invaded ....hmmmm... my NEW TERRITORY!!

I think you won the gold...
