The "OMG! Look what happened!" Thread

[Alexius08]

Will this be the only time I'd see Christianity founded at Jerusalem?

Spoiler :

Egypt founded it there.

 

[killerkebab]

Is it not auto-founded in Jerusalem if nobody discovers theology before a certain date?

 

[Jusos2108]

Only if it is independent. Otherwise it would be easily exploitable.

christianity in samarkand FTW

So there I was, kicking back and having fun in a Greek game, when all of a sudden...

MALIIIIIIIIIIII!

 

[Leoreth]

If that's not an OMG I don't know what is.

 

[sennomulo]

I'll take a save
I'm bored with my games...

Here you go:

MALIIIIIIIIIIII!

And as a French vassal no less!

not an OMG, I've lost that way several times

I have a mega-post! This is a month or so's worth of OMG moments, and some of them are actually pretty good.

Not unusual in and of itself, but I rarely see the Arabs get a good foothold in Anatolia. Too bad I'll be taking it from them shortly.

You'd think China would expand into India more.

... But oddly, vice versa seems to be more common.

Khmer conquerors. Because, hell, why not?

Everyone knows the Shaolin monks were instrumental in the founding of our great nation.

Once again. Not that strange, but I rarely see the Arabs come this far west.

I'm so happy.

This was an odd game. (In case you can't tell, I'm the Maya. Got an historical victory later on. )

Same sort of thing. Except I'm actually Turkey in this one. It was a pain in the hind end to capture all those Russian cities. xD

Speaking of which: General Winter in the Sahara?

Russia's been getting really aggressive in RFC lately...

1. No Hippo

2. LOL what an awesome city name.

 

[Gruekiller]

That would actually be Iol (Caesarea). I see it every now and then, but you're right, Hippo's more common.

 

[killerkebab]

I used to read that as lol until I captured it and I saw it in bigger letters in the "you've captured a city" popup

Rome spawns with Ancyra



I almost forgot about the famous Spanish Iceland

When Isabella showed up just now during my Portuguese UHV attempt, I expected another demand, and of course I was going to say yes. I said yes, all right, but the request wasn't what I expected:

 

[Ready_set_go]

They are doing bad...

 

[Norton II]

They are doing bad...

Kinda. They were at war with Arabia and Turkey and I guess not doing too well. Still, it was a surprise.

 

[Ready_set_go]

Oh, and, again... the OMG moment is still obscure .

 

[Norton II]

Oh, and, again... the OMG moment is still obscure .

Maybe it's not exactly OMG, but it's a little odd for Spain to vassalize to Portugal, don't you think? Especially when my Portugal wasn't exactly a military powerhouse.

As for the other one, I just thought it was kinda funny when a spy destroyed a useless monument, of all things. Another spy took out a monastery later (which was also mostly useless by then since I had SM).

 

[Gruekiller]

Just played my first DoC game since the new patch came out. Some pretty wacky stuff happened.

Nice.

Oh my. ._.

Huh. Normally when I play the Khmer, China doesn't bother to attack me when it declares war. I guess I'm just luckier than the AI?

Meanwhile, Europe goes insane.

This isn't terribly uncommon. I'm more surprised that England has managed to actually survive the Viking/Swedish smackdown, since this probably happened in the Middle Ages.

France is going all Napoleonic on these guys! Personally, I wish this would happen more often. Poor Rome's gonna collapse soon, because they seem to think that Legions/Praets are any good after gunpowder. The scary part? France has solid stability.

The odd city locations (never seen Leipzig before...) and the odd choice of capital lead me to believe that this is not Germany at all, but some sort of Hungarian Empire... A SPACE-Hungarian Empire! :O
... Or perhaps a German Confederation united under a Habsburg emperor. Who knows. Additionally, poor Holland.
