Winning in 3 minutes and 16 seconds

[Stapel]

A bit unexpected......

What is wrong with this save?http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Quick_Win.SAV

 

[ybbor]

probably barbarians destroyed your oponets, hoiw many opponets did you have?

 

[MrRats]

I dont think barbarians can destroy cities.
Do they?

 

[echinococcus]

what about volcanoes? your starting location doesnt look very....lasting either ^^

 

[IroquoisPlisken]

Did you have Regicide on? maybe in a 1 in a billion chance, all your opponents' kings attacked or were attacked by barbarians and lost...but would that say Conquest Victory or Regicide Victory (is there even such a thing)?

 

[Grogs]

I think it's gotta just be a bug. I took a look at the save. I don't see a king unit in Seoul, so I don't think it's a regicide game. Also, if you move the northern warrior north about 4 more squares, you'll run into the Celts. Also, F11 shows 5 other civs (the 5 best cities screen). I don't see how it could be a conquest victory. Have you been doing any major mods on the game? That's the only thing I could think of other than just a bug in the game (time for a reload perhaps?)

As for barbarians, in my experience, all they do when they capture a city is steal some citizens (they always reduce me to size 1, but since it's usually a size 2-3 city they capture I can't say it's always down to 1) and take some gold from my treasury. Other than a scolding from my advisors about strengthening my military, that's about the only consequence.

The volcano exploded and destroyed your capitol Seoul. It's a well known bug in the game. If your capitol is destroyed in this manner you win the game.

 

[Stapel]

The volcanoe exploded and destroyed your capitol Seoul. It's a well known bug in the game. If your capitol is destroyed in this manner you win the game.

Well, that clears it up!

 

[Wolfwood]

Where are all these well known bugs coming from? I've been playing the game and frequenting this forum for rather a long time and never heard of this one before... Interesting...

 

[morchuflex]

I've had the same bug once. I "won" and was granted a score of 27,795 pts. Not bad for about one minute of play.

 

[LLXerxes]

I dont think barbarians can destroy cities.
Do they?

THey can't. They take gold or killl the citizens in the city. THis is plain wierd, but
the volcano thing makes sense

 

[ybbor]

just for the rcord, i wasn't proposing barbarians destroyed cities, i was saying possibly the AI started in a mountainus land and had to travel a way to settle, and on the way they were killed

I can't remember where I've read it at CFC, but this is the third time I see it. AFAIK, if you only have as a city the capitol and a volcanoe eruption destroys it you get that message of victory displayed.

Just for the record this has never happened to me, and I've been playing hundreds of games, but on the other hand I never build a capitol, or city for that fact, right beside a volcanoe. I've had a city destroyed, but never my capitol.

There are people also who claim to have seen AI armies spawned in C3C (outside the scenarios) in the core game, and I still haven't seen one yet after all that playing, so that's how it goes.

Well, there's the Civ3 PTW 1.27f Bug Report subforum, and the Civ3 Conquests Bug Reports subforum as well. Of course, bug reports get into the general discussion forums from time to time.

 

[Chieftess]

It's a known bug that even exists in vanilla Civ3 I think (just make your cities eat 3 food in the editor and starve it) where if you lose your capital and it's your only city, you 'win'.

 

[Mr. Do]

The volcanoe exploded and destroyed your capitol Seoul. It's a well known bug in the game. If your capitol is destroyed in this manner you win the game.

That's quite a consolation! I wanna know what score Stapel received for this mighty victory!

 

[thetrooper]

but the volcano thing makes sense

Vesuvius is famous for the catastrophic eruption in 79 A.D. that buried the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii.

 

[Paradigne]

I've LOST a game quicker... My first Always War. Met my first opponent, declared war before my first warrior was built (7 turns) and he walked in with a warrior and won. Still don't know how he got a warrior built and to me in les than 7...

 

[punkbass2000]

If it was monarch or higher, he didn't have to build a warrior.

 

[Drakan]

Yeah Paradigne, the higher the level, the AI starts off with so and so offensive units as well as defensive units (workers and settlers included) as a starting bonus. So in turn one they just have to be out on the prowel preying for an unsuspected victim as yourself.

I think in Deity the AI get's as much as 8 offensive, 4 defensive, 3 settlers and workers from turn one, or is this in Sid ?. Please someone help me out and correct me.
