Backstory: In Rat45 CCM - Gideon's Band, a CCM Mod by Civanator, we were playing as Israel. ThERat made a comment, it sparked something in my brain, which prompted a reply, and led into this.

Very nice!

 

[LegionKiller]

Dang, I'm already breaking number 8.

 

[MPK]

Only number 8 ? .... ...... I think I only comply with 4 of the commandments.

 

[ThERat]

Spot on

People who break those commandments beware...the wrath of Sid will be upon you.

 

[Aabraxan]

But, but, but . . . I covet my neighbor's resources. Well, at least until I conquer them.

 

[darski]

Would look very nice mounted on our castle walls or in the throne room. All can gaze upon this brilliance and take notes of which we break in what order.

J/K good rules

I already broke rule n°1... At the moment I have no civ game installed - I'm going rogue with SMAC

And rule n° 6 is just BS... What should the Byzantines, the Dutch or the Russians do in the mean time, huh?

 

[Kirejara]

Should were not a commandment "A Spearman allways beats a Tank!"

Just lost a perfect good Battleship to a galley.

I like that privateers can defeat weakened destroyers and turn them in into wooden sailing ships (privateers).

SMAC is a solid game - you should have no shame for playing it

What should the Byzantines/Dutch/Russians do? Build barracks once they have the tech, of course!

Hmm, the only ones that I do not break on a regular basis are 2 and 6. I tend to avoid at all costs any trade agreements, and as I make the map, resources are never a problem. Barracks are always the first thing that I build, and the same for harbors for naval craft. Then again, I have always been somewhat of a heretic when it comes to the standard way of playing the game.

Ten Commandments of Civ
You shall not take the name of Sid Meier in vain.

That's my favorite one and I think I've cussed at him a few times for not making it easier for us to mod!

Dang, I'm already breaking number 8.

I always break that one.
