  • In the year 3000....

    Proving I have no life anymore since buying CIV,
    in my latest game it is now 3014AD.

    In case you're wondering, the game continues to
    run fine even after close to a thousand turns
    of playing past the "time limit" (that I disabled)

    The reason I was playing so long ?

    In 1980AD, an Egyptian city revolted for the first
    time to join my mighty empire. Hasp decided to
    pour most of her military in that city at that point,
    still, I wanted it to flip peacefully.

    Especially since that city was kinda a bottleneck
    and would now take great effort to take by force.

    Also, I was close to a cultural victory, so I wasn't
    going for Domination/Conquest anyway.

    Slowly, over the course of a millenium, all squares
    around the city flipped to me, and the city itself
    is now at 32% egyptian. I will stay the course.

    (I did use a different save to actually attack,since
    I was fed up with waiting, and destroyed them)

    Some notes on longtime play :

    -After getting all techs, and some future techs, I
    set my science slider to 0%. Over the next
    hunderd turns, I went from being first on points
    to being dead last, because science research
    seems very important to scoring. Really, this
    should be capped once you start researching
    future techs.

    - With Science at 0%, and culture at about 70%,
    inflation doesn't seem to be a problem. I was
    pulling in about 900 gold/turn.

    - Global warning gets to be a problem, shrinking
    my cities from 24 to 19, for example. Tiles that
    become deserts retain their resources though.

    - When you have good relations for that long,
    even if you are at war with somebody, they remain
    pleased with you, even though they refuse to talk


    (this was when I declared war on Egypt with a
    different save, and forgot that England had a
    defense pact with them. Lizzy mobilised her
    armada and hurt me, but she remained pleased)

    - You can't trade future techs

    -All peace and no war make Timmer a dull boy
    -All peace and no war make Timmer a dull boy
    -All peace and no war make Timmer a dull boy
    -All peace and no war make Timmer a dull boy
    -All peace and no war make Timmer a dull boy

    I was expecting the first line of your post to be "war was beginning".

    I should probably get out more.

      i wonder if there is some type of Easter egg if you play long enough..
      While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.

        Yeah, Who knows. Maybe in the year 40.000AD you get a great person named just "Emperor" and you start a game with space marines etc in "Dawn of war" style

          Wouldn't have thought so. The emperor is supposed to be thousands (maybe hundreds, not entirely sure) of years old by 40k.
