Won convincingly, then insulted

[Troyens]

I once almost entirely destroyed the Russians. They had one small city left - but they still insisted on insulting me. Poof! No more Russians.

There are numerous examples of a profoundly stupid and self-destructive AI Diplomatic Advisor.

Haven't you noticed?
These AI's have an Ego too big for their own stuffed shirts!

i once played Babs on tiny at warlord against 1 civ (japs)

i kicked his @$$ early and left 2 cities in the stone age for fun


when i gotten up to space age the japs actually threatened me for literacy!!

I already have nukes pointed at his capitol at that time and here is his envoy droning "..The only thing thats keeping us from crushing you is greed..."

I was torn between laughing my head off and feeling insulted enuff to drop 20 nukes on his head!!

good god man you HAVE to be kidding! Holy Jesus, you have NO sense of humour if being insulted IN A GAME by an imaginary opponent upsets you so much. I suggest getting professional psychiatric help, and quickly, because if you are serious you are obviously suffering from a rather nasty inferiority complex.

Sounds like there are two babies in the house.

The way I would have approached this (and many others may agree), would be "You call me pathetic! HA, I'll show you!" Then play another game and be out for blood, destroying anything at all that symbolizes another civ. It changes your thinking pattern, instead of going the peaceful route (diplomatic), you want revenge and turn more militaristic.

I do think this is a better end game than in some old games I used to play (on Nintendo), where they would only show you a part of the ending on the easiest level, and showed a little bit more as you increased the difficultly level. And some games wouldn't show much of an ending at all, other than "Now try this level". This always caused me to cheat, just to see the whole ending. Remember the old classic Metroid, where if you scored the highest you finally found out that the main character was a woman (since you would never have known with the spacesuit on all the time).

Your first game and you quit already. Me, I would have immediately started a new game to try and beat my previous score.
