Bestest Buddy

Do you have the Permanent Alliances option enabled? If so, just ask him to enter a Permanent Alliance with him - this will make you share all techs and wonder effects, and allow for joint victory.

Well, regardless that we were buddies or not, he was still a selfish bastard! No actually I didn't have the ability to pump out units fast enough and concentrate on upgrading my cities, nor could I upgrade them that fast since I had to keep my research expenditure high just to keep up in the tech race. But, I'm gonna try again. Learned alot from this game even though I was rated a Dan Quayle.

I only had seven cities. I think I'll try for more next time. Maybe be a little more daring on the war front too...

WTF - i thought we had random maps?

Whats even more odd is that most civs have the same freakin start location!!!

Not as good as a +28 but I had a +12 with #1 civ Roosevelt and a defensive pact with him. Las tplace Bismarck declares war on me (with +2 and -2 balancing out and he's not even annoyed at me, just Cautious) So what does my buddy Roosevelt do?......cancels the defensive pact! Great, here come his ships to my isolated continent. Guess I should have built some units. Stupid Americans.

Is there a picture attached? If so, I can't see it.

Odd about the maps...

I've seen a +6 or 7 from religion before.

If you have permanent alliances enabled, you are set.

I remembered reading something about that, but haven't experienced it myself... I managed to find the thread:

I'm surprised you didn't get an "our close borders bring tension" malus. If I'm reading the minimap correctly, that is.

Yeah, I was a bit surprized by that too especially since my culture flipped tiles in his closest city.

Hmmm thats wierd, I always read that as "our closed border bring tension" as in, if you dont except his 'open borders' offer in the beginning of the game you get a -1 or -2 .... wierd, so its CLOSE borders... hmph.

/me bumps this ages old thread

In my current game (18 Civs, small map) for some reason everybody loves. I've never seen anything like this
Since the beginning of the game my religion was Judaism, and so was 3-4 other Civs at that time, so I quickly became good friends with them... but because there was so little space I had to attack the Civs on this small continent. After taking out the Civs who's now Jewish I went on to my friends (took over the holy city)... but the more Civs I destroyed, the more Civs converted, and I kept destroyed Jewish Civs (while taking out the few non-Jewish Civs). And hour ago there was 7 AI's back, 5 of them was Jewish, 1 had free religion, but the one with a different religion still loved me

So now I've destroyed them (the turn after they converted), but everybody still loves me... with 17 AI's from the beginning there have been no time where more than 5 have been less than cautious towards me
Other Civs should have a "You attacked a Civ of yours and our religion" in the diplomacy. I can keep destroyed Jewish Civs, but they keep loving me

I've had that same map as well...
