What's your favorite moment in a game?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

So I feel like asking questions today; so sue me. Anyway, what moment in a game makes you pump your fist in the air and let out a mighty "Yes!"? My vote: sacking an enemy capital. It's even better than actually eliminating the enemy. If it's the capital of your most hated enemy, so much the better; if civil war results...well, you may have to pause for a smoke afterwards.

Dig trenches, with our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made. Here, run out and get some trenches.

When my final score comes in and it tops my previous high!

All knowledge begins with the phrase: I don't know.

[Hendrik the Great]

Capturing the capital of my worst enemy who is ten time larger than I am with my last surviving attacking unit and thuse splitting the enemy in two.

Nothing can compare to such kind of releave.

My favourite moments are the opening ones in my games - all fifteen-hoursworth of them!

When I finally get the explosives and refrigeration combination and start turning the world into one great big farm City sizes go astronommical real quick....this is my favorite time in civ

Most of my favorite moments take place in the very early game when the outcome is still in doubt. Once I've emerged on top of the power graph, I view my enemies' inevitable defeat as more of a duty to my country than a joy.

1. Exploring in the opening moves of the game and finding a network of rivers with specials.

2. Beating (via rush-building) my enemies to Pyramids or Colossus after receiving the "The *****s have nearly completed the Pyramids" message.

3. Destroying an enemy civilization before 1000 BC. Even if they are not yet wicked, I know I have spared them from their inevitable turn to evil.

When I KNOW my civ is invinsible

[finbar]

The first ten to fifteen turns. Exploring the unknown. Treading off into the darkness to find what's out there.

When my armors land on a foreing continent to talk to another civ, so we can put an end to ages of differences...

[James Fox]

Well, in a recent game, fairly early on, I had *all* of the other civilizations declare war with me and refuse to consider peace. When I got the United Nations and forced them to make peace (I was interested in peaceful expansion), I was quite happy.

it comes around the time I found my second city. the flexibility gained is quite pleasant

[Masis]

Generally, the 'thrill' for me is when the enemies take you for a weakling-and then you start to build up your power, taking town by town, and then the enemies come begging for a cease-fire-even offering money just to keep the peace for a few months.
Specially when the enemies were once Super-Powers.
I might alter the files so that I can say "kiss my a**" instead of "We will fight to the bitter end".

"Remember Romans, it is your duty to humble the proud and give strength to the weak" ancient Roman saying.

Killing a Civ in the first 25 turns. You find them about a city radius' length away. Build as many small units as you can.
