  • A world in which...

    Civilization is a world in which...
    (this is not meant to be a bashing civ thread, just observations)


    Nobody ever moves.

    If a city isn't taking in enough food they would rather starve then ask other cities for some of there's.

    A train will get you there instantly, but a plane takes a whole turn.

    All ships can exist away from base for an infinate period.

    It takes fifty years to cross one irrigated area, and one-hundred and fifty to irrigate it.

    Nukes do no long term damage, as long as the area is surrounded by trees.

    Warriors armed with iron axes sometimes hurt armor.

    Stealth bombers can be shot down by WWI era planes.

    All major scentific discovories are made by governments.

    With no roads, no horses, and no forms of modern communication, a ruler can give real time battle orders to pikemen a thousond miles away.

    Rioting can always be fixed by having a circus.

    other ideas?

      In Monopoly, you get $200 for passing Go.

      And a funny little man with a mustache can get you out of jail, for free.
      The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

        And do you have to stay at the inn wherever you stop? I got a car so I can sleep in the car on the road.

          - A leader can commence a revolution to overthrow their own rule, only to return to power after a lengthy period of anarchy where they somehow still hold supreme executive power.

          - The priest of a temple or a librarian surpass the power of a division of panzers in holding territory.

          - Clearing forests and jungles has no ecological consequences.

                  you can buy and sell ivory without ever running out of elephants . and to bring coal to your civ you can just build a road to it, no mines necessary ( it must be that ground-cover coal i heard about).
                  stealth bombers can land on an aircraft carrier.

                    - Nukes only pollute (and the polution can be cleaned within short time), destroy roads/railroads, kill citiens and kill units

                    - People never gets angry, because of all the pollution all around the world

                      A navalized F-117 was offered to the US Navy.

                      Ok,ok, it isn't a B-2, but then, apart from us F-15s, everyone has the same plane designs (and tanks, apart from Germany ) in Civ. I can't imagine what a Babylonian fighter would look like...

                      There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives. :)

                        It takes 300 years to move to the next city in the past. It takes a years drive on the road to move to the next city without railroads.
