Arabia getting the Conquerors event - not so unusual. Arabia collapsing - not so unusual either. Aztecs respawning with Arabian troops, including camel archers - a bit unusual perhaps. Aztecs getting a camel archer with a Great General called Ivan the Terrible - that's pretty awesome.

In my lasted game at Rome on a 3000BC start monarch level I had an unbelievable roll of the dice on me. First Greece founded a city in the Italian peninsula which flipped to me but not before declaring war on thus making me receive a few more troops and workers.
I founded Caralis and Messana. Pompeii and Melodianum(?) flipped to me. I parked my 7 legionaries on the hills around Melodianum to dissuade the barbarians or the Celts from attacking me. Rushed the oracle - somehow the Indians had not built it yet- and founded Christendom. From then on I focused on my economy and watched as both Greece and Cartage collapsed just as I was finishing the Great Wall - somehow neither China nor Persia where building it even though both had the technology way before me -. I annexed the Greek cities, signed open border agreements with all of Europe -except russia, never spawned -.
By 1490 I had France, offer to become my vassal. I took it. Next turn both Ethiopia and Egypt wanted to become my vassals. Done. Next Turn, Spain - yes, SPAIN! -. Meh, what the heck, lets try the Netherlands, yep, Vassal. Now I was forced to move my science slider down to 40%. And declared peace with Arabs and the Vikings. The Vikings too want to become my Vasal.

Yeah, neo-Roman Empires are pretty easy to achieve if you can hang on to the Italian peninsula and Greece. Once the Europeans spawn the rush to become your vassals and you end up with all of Europe under your control - one way or another.

Yea, It's been awefull long since I last played as Rome and I thought it was a rare event. I started a new game and meh, the same thing happened again. I guess nothing special happened.

Ok how about a Soviet USA, Soviet China, Soviet Peru, and USSR at full borders (thanks to me the nation went from Warsaw to the Pacific and as far south as Kandahar).

Then a major world war with:

Vikings (Mali, Khmer, Babylon as Vassals)
Netherlands
Spanish
Russians (Me) (America, China, Peru as vassals)
Japan

against

England (Egypt and India as vassals)
France (Aztec as vassals)
Portugal

During the war, Mongolia collapsed (where neutral joined late against Russia), Spain collapsed to Portugal-France, I drove Portugal and France far back and shortly after war France collapsed.

India broke away from England as vassal. War lasted 40-50 turns.

The idea of this thread is that you should post a screenshot, not just write about your game.

 

[volbound1700]

Oh sorry, I since deleted the game or saved over it. It was wierd the way USA asked to be my vassals and then the AI expanded to control the exact 48 states the USA owns.

I'm not sure this is an OMG Look what happened case, but I've never seen or heard of this....
So I started a game as Rome, Took out Carthage on 4th turn, then attacked a collapsed Greece. I settled a few cities and then kind of stagnated in a stalemate against Babylon until about 400AD and then finally razed their last city. After that I spawn killed Spain and France. And then..... Calais in Normandy; the turn the screen shot is at is 870AD.

 

[BurnEmDown]

Not only that but it seems like a really nice city spot.

 

[killerkebab]

Not only that but it seems like a really nice city spot.

It is. It is the Amiens spot for France - if you can expand the entire city cross you end up with something along the lines of 4 food and 4 production resources and all your land tiles are river tiles

 

[Ddude97]

It flipped (I didn't touch it(or care about it)) like 20 turns later in my first war against england

 

[Wessel V1]

There seems to be something really strange happening with the turn numbers, turn 120 and the English are in the Renaissance??

 

[kairob]

apparently some people have a turn number 181 turns higher than others if playing from the 600ad start. My computer for example shows the 600AD start as beginning on turn 1 whereas other people have told me that their games start around turn 181 in the 600ad start.

So it says turn 120, but on your computer it would be around turn 300.

Do'nt ask me how or why this happens though as I haven't a clue.

 

[Wessel V1]

That is not the case here though: Ddude is playing with Rome (3000BC) and it is 870 AD as he says in his post.

 

[kairob]

oh, ok, sorry. My mistake.

 

[Malchar]

The three big players are as follows:
Islamic Republic of Germany (with vassals shown in picture)
Islamic Russian Federation (with vassals of Mali and Khmer)
Republic of Japan, Republic of China, Republic of Persia (Defensive pact)

I stated as Japan and quickly met Europe with a fishing boat. The Christian and Jewish holy cities had been razed, and all of Europe was Islamic. I guess this is just another example of an Islamic Europe, but I had nothing to do with it!

Here are some other notables:
Unusual placement of the Great Wall.
Mali founds LOL on the southern coast of the Mediterranean.
Only three Christian cities in the world, and very limited number of Jewish cities.

 

[AnotherPacifist]

Malchar, your game isn't very unusual for a 3000BC start. The Christian/Jewish holy city is often razed, and Islam or Buddhism usually wins. (Now if you can show me a predominantly Confucian or Taoist world without human intervention I'll be amazed). And it's Iol (or Jol), not LOL.
Under Cherchell:

The Phoenicians of Carthage settled there in the 4th century BC and named the town Iol or Jol. The town became a part of the kingdom of Numidia under Jugurtha, who died in 104 BC. The town became very significant to the Berber monarchy and generals of Numidia. The Berber Kings Bocchus I and Bocchus II lived there, as occasionally did other Kings of Numidia. Iol was situated in an area called Mauretania, which was apart of the Numidian kingdom.

I had a confucian world once, because the Carthaginians founded it, without me playing Carthage or China or interventing somehow. Sadly I didn't take a screen from it

 

[bestrfcplayer]

In my last game as Turkey I went into world bulder and found who did the conquerer event: Arabia!!! ??? Have any of you seen Arabian conqueres? (They conquered and managed to collapse the Incas and Aztecs)
