How early to kill civs?

Sure Coracle...

...Mumia's a cop-killer. I guess you believe that Rodney King really did pose a threat to those four rat-******* cops who beat him with their clubs while he was laying down, face-first, in a puddle of his own blood.

I have taken out a civ's last city right after after a settler took off in a galley.
As soon as the city was taken I got the You-just-wiped-a-civ-off-the-face-of-the-earth message.

Thanks for clearing that up!

OT!!!



I try to keep little Civs around, if I have them contained. If I can't contain them I will wipe them out and hope they don't respawn. I keep the other civs contained until I'm sure they won't respawn.

I like to smash them down, so they will give you anything you ask for. The other AI's will trade them techs that they will drive too hard a deal for with you. Then Smash you vassel again and they will give you everything again.

RAH: My problem with that is the fact that once you go to war with them again you have to wait until they deign to acknowledge your emissary.......very frustrating.

How about just renegotiating peace?

Well it usually takes me a few turns to knock them down a few rungs. By then, they're begging to talk to you.

Until this morning I would have disagreed with you. Always before when I start wars I've always rushed to as many cities as I could, and keep doing so, so a lot of the time I cam wipe them out before they will talk to me.
