The "OMG! Look what happened!" Thread

[Duke of Britain]

when i think of it, in the victory menu do all the cities are shown? or just the ones that i know? idk, maybe when i was deleting bordeaux i did something and that altered the game
anyway, i think i lost the save (its usual for me saving over old saves, because i use like RFC USA for my saves), but i do have a autosave from 1700~

I'm not sure, but it could be possible that the victory screen shows the civ that is overall closest to cultural victory, not just that with the most cultured city (e.g. a hypothetical one-city-civ with a massive culture capital wouldn't be displayed).

China appears to have collapsed (looks Grey). Do they have a super culture city there? I don't think Independent cities will show up in the victory screen.

It became independent, but as you can see by the name the city in Iceland is clearly founded by The Netherlands. ('s Gravenhage is the (old) Dutch name for The Hague).

idk, i think i checked their holy city, and it would be the biggest cultural city in Asia.
maybe some independent city got it, because theyre minors, so they can't win the game and wouldn't show up in the vic screen, but i don't remember where is the holy city in china, taking a look at the map we see that khmer expanded northeast in china, that means that if they got the holy city its culture would be back to 0...
and considering that in this mod there isn't confu i think its quite hard that they have a massive culture city in china or japan (the taoist holy city)

another option would be in 1700 a massive culture city getting conquered some turns after it (i checked this around 1716-1720~)

Baghdad, a city that wasn't visible on my map, and that I had no border with, wanted to join me!!! It later revolted, but i didn't keep it for stability reasons

Nothing OMG about that. China often sneaks over the pacific to get Conquerors.

 

[blizzrd]

I was thinking the same thing. China/Japan visit Inca first often enough in my experience too.

This shouldn't be an OMG!, but sadly it is:



I can't recall AI France building the Notre Dame. Rhye should've coded it so they would build this one in Paris, but whatever... I'm happy to see France building it for once.

that's not so strange, they just got optics early, explored and got the conquerors.
but worse was japan founding cities in USA West Coast, for no reason at all, that area is red in their stability map sadly i had no Screen Shot of it, but i commented it some days ago here.

The Vancouver area is green in their stability map actually.

just vancouver, but what about south of it? they had not only vancouver area, but los angeles area for example, and tried going south to mexico

As shown in this thread regularly:

Sometimes the AI settles outside of their 'green and yellow' zones. It's rare, but it does happen.

Epic historical game:



First the Notre Dame is built in France (Bordeaux, but still France), then the Kremlin is built in Moskva!

Apparently playing Vikings and eliminating England early is good for historical accuracy...

I just had a game where the French built Notre Dame in Paris, I tried tog et a screenshot, but the little pointy thing went away before I got the screenshot

If you weren't playing DoC or some other mod-mod or France itself that's pretty amazing.

I never played any mod-mod's so I wouldn't know about them.

 

[SilchasRuin]

no mod-mods, and i was Russia

 

[Duke of Britain]

i really hate deeply CivIV Combat (every 10 99.9% battles i win 0,1 and loss 9,9), but sometimes i love the events same turn i built it.
in exchange of 10 gold i get +2 culture every turn in the amphi of Frankfurt, so that's really nice because it will help pushing Dutch and French Borders while i don't invade them.

EDIT :
i'm telling you guys! that game is evil! this happens just after i losing half my knights to non-sense-defeats-with-almost-complete-chance-of-victory. take a look at the arabians score now i know why every civ in europe hates them so much

Duke of Britain,

What have you done to Germany? Where is Berlin and where is the 'grey cross'-flag?

And why have you posted this in this thread?
