My favorite is somebody (I don't remember who posted this gem) built the Great Library in a one on one duel. You just have to love it

Ming - I was close to doing that just a couple of days ago. I was playing against 2 AIs, and building the GL. One AI killed off the other, and I was going merrily along my way sending caravans to help build the GL. I was only a couple of turns from completing it when I realized the consequences of the dead AI (and switched to Colossus).

Whew!

I've got my own share of mistakes, forgetting a city with no troops and barbs popping up, tireme not finishing near land etc, but nothing major. The best classic cockup in my mind was by Kenthur. But I'll leave it to him to explain that one!...

To build my first ciy on top of a pheasant.
No trade at all.

Another classic was by Canadian War Beaver (formerly know as war4ever)... It's a story of dropping a nuke on a city, and not backing his own units away from the blast radius first... But I'll let him tell it, he does a much better job

However...i have some poor excuse. I was one turn before Navigation and i had 5-6 caravans ready. Since Oracle was only wonder available i used caravans to speed it up.
Next turn i got both Navigation and brain dead because i rush-build an Oracle and didn't bother to switch it to Magellan's.

CapTVK...KenThur retired from Civ and we have poor chance to find out what he did.

SF... was that in the Friday night game with rah

I once rush built a diplo to defend a one pop size city from two barbarian chariots...
You know, bribe one and then have him kill the other...
Too bad I used up all my money rush buying the diplo, and didn't have enough money left to bribe the unit.... DUH!

Simple really. In a mad moment of sheer unmitigated greed, in order to incorporate 2 specials within my city radius, I built my capital in a tree. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Growth at snail's pace. And if your early growth is badly hamstrung, you're behind the eight ball for a long time. Might've worked in 2x production, but this wasn't.

Ming: Yes...that was in a game with Rah,Oedo,Berzerker and Dave. Game where i am behind in techs and any wonder worth a fortune to me (any except Oracle )

[cavebear]

LOL! I feel so much better now. Thanks to everyone for sharing their misfortunes...
