[Robert]

I created a graph that includes references to all big scorechanging events as far as I could remember from the top of my head. Please let me know if I missed anything important.

[Persia (DoC)]

Dude, don't be nice on us, we're not nice on you either! (though I agree that we should not raze too much.)

You really are way too nice. That was good when you were much better then all of us, but right now there's no reason to keep up this nice attitude. You'll get 7's from me anyway

[India (DoC)]

India didn't you just raze an Korean city? So why contradict yourself like that.

And for the record there is a big difference between razing a 16 size city and your little pop 5 city i just razed.

There was no option to keep that 1 pop city. And sure my city was low pop due to slaving, but it was full of buildings-but this is not the point: I just wanted to make a note: till now I was playing nice.. no longer

[Persia (DoC)]

I don't think that city was razed. It did at least not show up as being razed in my log.

And people: OOC'ing about IC happenings is
I understand that some of you don't like my IC doings, but it's IC, respond IC to it.

[Greece (DoC)]

India didn't you just raze an Korean city? So why contradict yourself like that.

it was a size 1 - your old city

[England (DoC)]

[India (DoC)]

Im only a watcher and reader of all this but didnt the Indian forces raze a Byzantine city ?

Surely for much the same strategical reasons as the english just now ?

You cant have it one way for you and another for the rest, maybe you should have thought about that when you attacked Byzantium.

No, we took a 16 pop city but haven't razed it though it was obvious we cant keep it.. I don't raze cities.. not even AI cities, but that could be my weakness

I read above you say you didnt raze the Byzantine city so maybe im mistaken I just seemto remember you had razed one.

[India (DoC)]

I think razing cities is bad news but sometimes it is strategically imperative as a battle tactic. England had good reason I believe in this case.

Razing that city just shows me that there is no alternative now: either I win or I will be destroyed.. I would had surrendered if you managed to take out one of my key cities-destroying my other cities will make no diffrence in my chances.
Strategically imperative.. sure, weakening the other is always that.. why do you think India hasnt razed Adrianople, the big Byzantine city when we captured it? Anyway this is just an ooc opinion..actually this will increase my chances of winning as now I will do everything to just finish, and abandon those things which are not on that path.

[Korea (DoC)]

Well people dropping out of the allaicne is the biggest OOC problem , for me i still want to know why this war occured.

[Greece (DoC)]

Guys.. now really.. what do you want to accomplish with this war? I haven't say anything when 4 of you (or more) were working on stopping me.. I actually worked hard to be on this way, but why is it necessary in case you win to completely ruin me by the way.. razing mature cities is a no-no even for my evil civ.. especially against the "smaller" party.. bad attitude in my book, but do it as you wish, I will remember.

Greece's policy on this war is to not kill fishing boats or improvements; and to only target India's cultural win

Korea, with similar views, only attacked an Indian naval stack - soldiers against soldiers. But India responded by bombing Korea's wine groves and mines. So I believe Korea is now sabotaging Indian improvements in response...

But seriously, we've all made calls like England's. I know you, who I think I know who you are, has done it!

I think razing cities is bad news but sometimes it is strategically imperative as a battle tactic. England had good reason I believe in this case.

Do not think that razing is the norm here.

Just remember, India, you get great accolades for creating the most exciting diplo game ever from my perspective. Culturally win or lose it doesn't matter really... just hang in there and keep doing what you love - brilliant mathematical strategy!

[Ottoman Empire (DoC)]

@India

Russia razed my 2nd largest city and no one made a peep about it...

[Native America (DoC)]

Didn't work for me

[India (DoC)]

[Byzantium (DoC)]

Persia - Byzantium is always pleased to see a convert. But I would like to see you convince anyone to trust you ever again.
