Weird Things...

[The Mad Viking]

How about a (vet) Cavalry not only charging a tank, but taking it out without getting more than a scratch itself!!!

[Captain Nemo]

How about engineers mining the Himalayas into foothills...

[Miner]

Guderians Panzers rolling into Poland at the start of WW2. They were charged by the Pomeranian (sp?) Cavalry and wiped out, every man & horse.

In Civ2 though, chances are you will kill Armour with Cavalry, which is why I give the pikemen flag to Armour.

[Miner]

Anyway, I think the weirdest thing is returning Nukes/Cruise Missiles

'Quick launch the nukes...no not that way...that way ... oh no they've moved... quick shove it back down the launch tube before anyone notices...'

[mindseye]

Speaking of weird activity by Nukes & Cruise Missiles, how about the whole idea of them flying from one city to another? You know how the AI loves to shuffle Cruise Missiles into a threatened city. What does this represent, the entire support team and its defensive units climbing aboard the missiles themselves and soaring over the ocean to another city and ... landing?

It's too bad there isn't a mechanism in the game that forces you to re-locate missiles by transporting them, not flying them.

[Peacemaker]

How about the fact that you must defend every city with a military unit or it will be easily taken over by another country.

O gee the French just captured Cincinnati.

Military unit's in Communism make the people "happy"?

"You vill be happy, Kamerad, or you vill be shot"!!

[KhanMan]

Fundamentalism making cathedrals, temples, etc. unnecessary...

"Sorry, guys, but now that the High Priest is in power, we're going to raise your places of worship..."

[Fiji]

how about these:

a USA or UK or Japanese (or ...) yacht goes faster than a Norwegian yacht because US/UK/Japan have nuclear power and Norway doesn't

the ancient egyptians have been working for decades on their pyramide and when it's almost finished, the pharao decides that he want's a big bronze statue in stead and poof, all the stones miraculasly become bronze

[Scouse Gits]

ROFLMAO @ Fiji
That is a beaut!! but of course the poor old Egyptians had actually been labouring for centuries not decades!

women's sufferage makes it so women like it when their husbands go off and get killed overseas(or on the same continent...)

i've had the poison leak into my skin
and it corroded my heart away

[Sirotnikov]

China, while having 4 size 3 cities and almost no military force declares war on russia (11 cities), greeks (16 cities) and vikings (8 big cities) in the same turn.

Spain is at war with egypt, convinces the persians to attack egypt, in a couple of turns signing peace, a "Madrid pact to contain persian agression" and finally allying with Egypt against you because you wouldn't pay them 6320 gold for no f***ing reason.

You discover the secret of electricty by visiting ruins of an old village. No, just kidding. Never happened. I think after a certain level of tech. acheaved entering a village automatically gives you money.

Question for Miner
What is the source material for your statement? I have read vast amounts of material on the sep 39 campaign and have never came accross such a reference. However
i have read accounts by an italian war corrospondent that claimed the exact same thing. Alas never with any proof.

Wishing to increase my knowledge. Thanks
