Karthage had moved some troops into my territory and when I asked why he (Hannibal) said something like:

"Those troops are...uhm...missionarys. Right, they´re missionarys."

Well, he´s a good liar...not...

I still like the Civ-1 ones, famous final words from king Shaka...

I'm not sure if this quote has been posted already:

In one of my games, I was playing as England, and I was the most powerful civ in the world, and I was in negotiations with Persia, and after I clicked "Never mind," Xerxes said, "That's fine. I'm just going to go shoot myself now." Nothing like a suicidal civ leader...

The Celt is probably trying to bring water closer to his own borders. I've seen the AI run a line of Irrigation through my territory so that his town could be Irrigated.

Of course it looks more like the Worker in your screen shot is building a road and not Irrigating. Perhaps Brennus is 'creating future infrastructure' for his empire. :strokes chin:

I Just got this one from Hannibal:


" I want Celts to hurt! I want their hungry, screaming, battered masses clamoring at my door for mercy! Lincoln, I am going to need your help for this! "

[mrmitchell]

I didn't ask the Celts whut they were doing. I mean, it's free work, dude! Why the hell would I want to turn them back!

Then again I have no idea at all whut he was doing. Maybe he wanted to trade resources with the guy on my other side.

I saw this for the first time last weekend. It was around 2:30 am, IIRC.
