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

This is a throwback to vanilla Civ IV, where Isabella would ALWAYS be fiercely Buddhist. :lol:
True to form, Spain was furious with me because I wasn't Buddhist (taking Corboba from them probably didn't help) and sent a doomstack of like 15 Lancers and 10 bombards at Lisboa. Needless to say I decided to load a different game :(
 
Serves me right for only leaving a Pikeman in Amsterdam...!

Also the Netherlands is just an inferior version of Portugal in every way.

Hinduism somehow spread over to Constantinople and Miletos, with the Greeks and Romans both converting!

I think that looking at your minimap, I’m fascinated by the Middle East. You have Greece, Rome, and Byzantine? Am I reading that right?

I assume that the pink civilisation is actually Babylonia in its alternative colours - correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that it was impossible for Greece and Byzantium to appear due to the Byzantine spawn conditions?

Perhaps if Byzantium survives (by a player, presumably would be the only way, or maybe by adopting Islam and good civics), but doesn't control Athens, Greece could respawn in 1810?

This is correct!

I don't think Greece can respawn while the Byzantines are alive, but I admit that I've only seen one or two games ever where the Byzantines survived to the 19th century where I wasn't the one playing them (and of course if I was playing them, they controlled Athens).

The Great Sphinx built in Athens. Not sure how Egypt AND Babylonia AND Harappa were incompetent enough to miss this wonder to a civ that usually spawns after it's been built and has no stone.
 
I started a game as Korea, and turn one there was a Persian immortal on the grain resource to the northwest. I thought, cool maybe they will weaken defenses by killing an archer, letting me mop up... and its nice to have a far away contact...

Sure enough though, they took the barbarian city the next turn

China and Persia are cautious with each other, and on foreign relations screens it does not show them as having open borders. So maybe they walked a reverse mongol route?

edit:

I looked at world builder to see route they got there and yeah it does look like that route, although there is a barbarian city between. I guess it does not look so far away after all, maybe it did not deserve a post

edit 2:

after two turns barbarians took it back.

The Roman strategical advisers aren't really what they used to be in the Classical era now are they? Suggesting me that attempting to bribe the Germans in to handing away one of their core cities is a good idea? Then again I guess the Germans aren't really that much brighter either seeing how they are "divided" in the subject of voting against their own interests :D

That looks like a bug too.
