Because I'm imageshacking this pictures? Maybe. Or maybe this story will clear things up.
Warlord difficulty, 3 civs, settlers cost set to 100.
I started and played this game to try out what it would be like if settlers were over 200% more expensive. This proved to be a lot more fun because building settlers was now a tactical decision. And there was no hope of settler-spamming either. The AI doesn't seem to suffer from this either. They still build settlers and expand and such but now each city is worth so much more.
So I built up my great Pokemonmen empire. I explored the world and found my cultured civ had two very different counterparts.
The Russians had the three-city island on the top left of this map.. I was at the bottom one as the green. I think my island looked kinda like a bird.. And the French had a home on the large land to the east.
The Russians were up to middle ages tech, I was up to modern units and the French were still in the stone age. I was about to embark on the space-ship techs so I could fly out of this dump of a world and win the game.. After all, things were pretty peaceful and boring on the planet:
While my civ had pretty much forgotten about the few battles our ansestors fought with the Russians ages ago the Russians had kept a grudge. But they weren't stupid enough to pick a fight with me.
And to cut a long story short.. I got bored.
I dropped roughly 8 nukes on the Russians for no reason whatsoever. Am I evil or what? I mean, even the bad guy in WWII wouldn't have been that insanely evil.
Or maybe you still think I have a shred of decicency in me. What if I told you I nuked the hapless natives (the French) just because I could?
Has anybody been this evil in civ1 before? Have you? Why? Because you were bored?
Now, excuse me. My new kittens are waiting for some fun
