Why I hate Khan

[Spoonwood]

Which ruler do you hate at the moment? Why? What did he/she do?

For me, I remember a game that I wanted to finish as a 20k game. But, Khan decided that he wanted to attack my empire late in the game. I think it happened several times that moronic Khan decided an invasion would suit his smelly face. I re-payed him in kind by making him lose in a popularity contest. Or at least that's what the historians wrote.

he is kind of annoying

 

[Sparthage]

I've always had problems wih Cleo. She almost always declares war (My first war in Civ3) on me or starts so close to me that I have to go attack her. Oh the memories of Memphis being burned *sigh*.

 

[Desertsnow]

Gandhi. He has a well-deserved reputation for backstabbing. So unlike the real Gandhi. "Peaceful India", ptui!

 

[MaxaTheGreat]

William.
1. He had 3 sources of rubber(in his core!), but my empire(which is about twice as big) had none. He also would've taken the only coal resource on that half of the continent, but I rushed a temple in a city I built next to it to steal it.
2. His military is strangely stronger than usual. It was a pain stealing his rubber.
3. He built 4 wonders in Amsterdam, 2 of which he built when I was under 5 turns away from it.

Henry. Always sneering at me with his bad 'stache, always seems to have the rubber islands sniffed out ahead of time, always spread out enough to be a pain to remove from the map.

Catherine, just because she is ugly and always has an empire way larger then her stats allow.

 

[aukrest]

This might be ironic but...

Carthage. They always backstab me and beat me to those nice wonders a few turns before I have them myself. Hannibal also always seems to be a large empire that I will dread having to take over eventually.

I have trouble with her too. Her traits are AI-friendly and she plays pretty well. Since I go for Republic I won't get along with her, it's her proscribed civic.

 

[Virote_Considon]

I used to always wind up with Hammurabi as being my public enemy number 1, eventually. It wouldn't always be through fault of his own - often, he was just "there", in the way, nothing to trade with, always annoyed. And often fighting against my "ally" states.

Another one was Pachacuti, always getting in the way, always just one tech ahead of me thanks to his Chasquis Scouts getting lucky with a goody hut, and undoubtedly almost always close-by on the same continent.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

William of Orange is my arch-nemesis. Nearly every time I play a game with him, we...have words. (With knights.)

I vote for Gandhi, as whenever I encounter him, war follows very shortly thereafter, and I am not the one starting it.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Funny, I didn't even remember Gandhi and Cat before reading this thread. Replaced them looooong ago with Asoka and Peter. Joan had to go, too.

William and Osman are my "friends". I always visit them with a large "escort" to have a party in their capital. Sometimes it catches fire in the process.

---> I am literally laughing out loud at that one.

 

[GeneralMeng]

I vote for Gandhi

 

[NickyJ]

I vote for Gandhi. I started a game and within five turns of meeting him, he declared war.

 

[CELTICEMPIRE]

Lincoln is very agressive too, i have found

 

[Takhisis]

Bloody Mao-Tse-Tung. He keeps beating me to wonders and uses ROPs through me to attack the Dutch to the North… that said, he once suddenly made a peace with the Zulus, attacked me with Riders -and captured a city-. I got an idea to test, loaded up an Auto-save from one turn before his attack, moved a few Ancient Cavalry near his border and he decided to keep pounding on the Zulus Such a coward…

Carthage. They always backstab me and beat me to those nice wonders a few turns before I have them myself. Hannibal also always seems to be a large empire that I will dread having to take over eventually.

Funny, in my game as Arabia, I was preparing to take over Germany. Germany was on my north border, while Carthage on my south (and the Maya and Celts beyond Germany).

I'm just about set to attack, and then out of the blue, Carthage declares war on me. The worst point of the war for me was when a longbowman that was wandering in my territory came close to taking a rather corrupt Spanish town.

And by around the tenth turn of the war, I had two armies of Ansar Warriors outside the island town of Rusicade (their last city).

Fail DoW

 

[Takhisis]

I take it you mean a formerly Spanish town, right?
