stripped me naked but...

[mimi]

I'll still get even...

playing OCC as Egypt (still don't know if you can win cultural victory in OCC) and, out of the blue, the Chinese declare war. I lose a worker I can't move fast enough, the other one moves into Mongolia with which I have OB but China doesn't so it's safe there. Had a 3rd worker, once, but raging barbs ate him awhile ago.

have 3 military units in my city (yeah, first mistake) so I switch to being able to pay to complete things and rush a out a couple longbows. China proceeds to completely strip my lands... all my roads and mines (yes, my iron too). So I keep building archers (1 turn to build) and warriors (hehehehe) and the occassional longbow.

My oh my, those Longbows can really hold a city. China brought knights - silly China.

Then Rome, again out of the blue, jumps into war against me. So I just huddle in my city and wait until they both blow their stacks vs my longbows.

Then I sneak my worker to my iron, hook it up (guarded by longbows) and upgrade my warriors to pikes who are now also guarding my iron. Of course, next turn, Mongolia declares war too (from pleased to war in 4 turns?)

Mansa has join war vs china as an option but I don't have enough of anything to tempt him...

Quite the mess, really. I popped back down to Noble level for my first OCC try... I wonder if I can come back and get even with them all?

This thread could get a lot of hits with a title like that

Sounds like a nasty dogpile. I got jumped in my first OCC game, which taught me that two warriors is not really enough, but I haven't tried again since (so many maps, so little time).

Stripped naked and group-****? Pity Cathy wasn't in on it...

I quess they smell a carcass.

Ive had something similar happen once too. I was preparing all my units on my southern boarder getting ready to attack Mr.Musa - I finally get everything into position, attack, and 1 turn later Germany (on my northern boarder) declares war on me! So I change it into a defensive war with Musa and move the majority of my troops to attack Germany since they were smaller... its interesting how the AI jump on eachothers band wagon sometimes... I like it.

well your not the only one getting those "please join us in destroying..." requests. and Once you get that -1 "you attacked my friend" it makes them all that more likely to attack you.


i love it too. makes the ai "seem" smart enough to gang up on ya.

[TheHateMale]

Do they actually care if the civ you attack is their friend or not?

[Axxaer]

Yes: "-# You declared war on our friend!"

[TheHateMale]

Do the civs actually need to be friends for that though? It seems like declaring war on one after the beginning of the game makes everyone dislike you.

[Axxaer]

That's because most tend to be friendly to everyone for a little while. They shar OB for a bit and explore a lot before that. My game atm everyone else on my continent (5 other civs) are all the same religion (a different one to me) and they all hated me for warmongering half the island and killing off their friends.

Some people are just so easily offended!
