    Monster Points

    Following on from a comment in another thread (where somebody was really impressed by the way a player had managed to make Qin incompetent at Wonder Building and Teching), I've been thinking of other really stunning achievements that one could manage. Doing any one of these would earn a substantial number of "Monster Points":

    Playing as Elizabeth I and losing the tech race.

    Playing as Huyana Capac and not managing to found a religion.

    Playing as Louis XIV and losing your cities to culture-flips.

    Any others anyone can think of?

          Where was this other thread? It sounds amusing...
          "You are one of the cheerleaders for this wasting of time and the wasting of lives. Do you feel any remorse for having contributed to this "culture of death?" Of course not. Hey, let's all play MORE games, and ignore all the really productive things to do with our lives.
          Let's pretend to be shocked that a gamer might descend into deeper depression, as his gamer "buds," knowing he was killing himself, couldn't figure out how to call 911 themselves for him. That would have involved leaving their computers I guess."

                        Not being able to found a religion. Period. (Seriously, it seems easy to me . . . even if it takes some time.)

                            Okay then, try it on Deity and see how it goes. Then see what it's like for you when the AIs start piling up on you because you've converted to your own religion and become a HEATHEN.
