a way to give the AI a slap in the face

[ottok]

Tuomerehu,yeah, Avalon hills Avdanded civilization is something good!

if you mean it...

Forget nuking, razing his capital and all that. Build a ****-off lot of explorers and pillage every single square in his empire. Then laugh, like this ->

[Jarvin]

I fill every square in the radius of their bigger cities with high defense units (usually mech infantry), then i watch them starve.

[Master Zen]

I like your style johnmcleod

If his capital is big or it has wonders I'll refrain from razing it, after all, wiping out the civilization is not a slap in the face in itself? Better to make them realize their puny culture sucks and that they will be one of our own



In my recent game I wiped the Germans off the map with a horseman-to-knight upgrade , took about 30 cities, but Berlin was thriving so I did not raze it and actually built wonders in it later on.

Razing cities also hurts your reptutation BTW...

I have wanted the ability to give an uppity AI a "shot across the bow" since Civ I. Not declare war, but just lkie Reagan did in Libya in '86 - have the ability to *****-slap the AI as a way of saying "I'm getting really ticked at what you're doing, and by this action I am telling you to stop it right now."

How about sitting 30+ artillery (with infantry of course) on a mountain, in range of their biggest city, turn the battle animations off, and hit b then mouse, then b then mouse then b then..... you get the picture.

20 seconds, and that size 27 city, is now size 3 and utterly crippled. Helps stops revolts later on too. Sadly, sometimes this does take two turns.

Hmmmm ethnic cleansing. Great stuff (in Civ).

Reputation? What on earth is that? Right now I'm hooked on this one map where by 0 a.d., I've got control of about half the map under my rule and six dead rulers to bury. (heh heh heh)

20 seconds? Only in fast computers and users!
Also, with 30 artillery, you have to be pretty lucky to reduce a size 27 city to size 3; you have to "miss" soldiers, city improvements and even miscalculations (other misses). I think, however, that 2 turns may be enough, but in 3 I'm definitively sure that that's gonna be the end for the once prosperous city.

BTW, I noticed a strange thing in one of my recent games.

A goodie hut was on a tile on another civ's culture line. I popped the hut and barbs came flying out! 2 of them landed in enemy territory and went on to fight the AI, I think.

[pedrojedi]

That happened to me too. Goodie huts next to other civs with raging furious constipated warriors are so fun!

raging furious constipated warriors

You guys are sick!

[pedrojedi]

No, the raging furious constipated warriors may be a little sick, specially if they have to push it hard.

[justjake73]

specially if they have to push it hard.
