It's always fun for revenge stories too!

I had one game in I think Civ V where Dido was just being an asshole to me the entire game, and in the sort of mid-late game she did her big move and invaded. I lost maybe 3 cities, then the defenses started to hold and I pushed back. Took my cities back and then just kept going, and absolutely refused all offers on peace (which were becoming increasingly elaborate.) Even when every other civilization started denouncing me as a warmonger even though I didn't start it, I kept going. Eventually got her down to two cities. I took the one closest to me, renamed it to Fart City, then offered it back to her in exchange for peace which she gladly took.

Then I waited a few turns until it had cooled off, then declared war on her again. This time I took the city on the other side, leaving her with Fart City and about three workable tiles, completely surrounded within my territory. I stayed at war for the entire rest of the game, with troops completely surrounding her. Every time she built an improvement I instantly pillaged it, ever worker was instantly captured, every troop immediately blasted. She just got to live out the next thousand years or so in squalor in Fart City, while every other country denounced me for my crimes lol.

I didn't know they made Israel into a game!

Time for the bomber plane and aircraft carrier :)
Yes, I have about 15 carriers with each having 2 bombers on each side of the continent + 10 in production.

You want to declare war? I will declare complete annihilation.

I can never get into civilization due to the nature of the difficulty settings. Every difficulty is terrible at the game, but cheats an order of magnitude more than the previous one. On the other hand, civilization is fun against friends, but I can’t sucker any into spending 46 hours mounting a campaign against my glorious beacon of culture and violence... more than once.

Step 3 always happens first though. They always stack up on your borders and then declare war.

I'll get back to civ when I retire. It can get too life-ruiningly addictive for me.

Oh man, the feeling of having built an army that can withstand the hordes, adding in the feeling of having commanded that army to victory… oh yeah, it’s good. That’s what the game is all about. Not always with armies, but always still.

No game of Civ I've played has ever ended up like that 😂😭

Or they don't send any troops because the AI is complete ass.

Been playing since '94. Addictive? Yes!

And so much so, it's amazing. One of my top game series of all fucking time!

Infinite Repeatability Glitch such an amazing game.

JUST ONE MORE TURN.......!!!!!

This is why I always befriend Gilgamesh
