Your Mission: Take Over The World.

[Velociryx]

As the US:
1) convince China to accept increasingly valueless paper for real, tangible stuff
2) watch them blow themselves apart economically in a quest to gain control of more of this increasingly valueless paper (and turn their country into a giant, festering cauldron of pollution)
3) once china implodes in a classic example of communist mismanagement (even if it is feathered this time, with market trappings at the outer edges), use our now weakened currency to again become the dominant exporter on the planet (US manufacturing sector, considered alone, is still the 4th-5th largest economy on the planet)
4) buy everything, and keep the world at bay with our supersized military

**Note: the implosion of china is key, as it will hasten the demise of an oil based economy...we'll secretly be mass producing those 40% efficient solar cells and will happily license the technology to our energy starved friends once oil production begins to starkly decline (and the hyper-efficient deep cycle batteries).

I won't tell as I plan to put my plan into practice in a few years

[Combat Ingrid]

I would be Burundi and use the World Builder, then film what the world leaders looked like when they realized what was happening and put the films on Youtube.

I would be Russia. Specifically, I would be Happy Putin. Then I would go on a rampage and pwn every non-Russian using my judo/KGB/happy skills

Actually, I'd let teh Indians live, then I'd split teh world with them

Ok, I give you a serious mission, that you must explain in detail and step by step how you will achieve world domination -- that means taking control of the world - not destroying it.

Why would you control the world and not destroy it?

[LordShiva]

Because of all teh womens you can have

I would be CHINA because all my gunpowder units start out with good promotions, and with all my barracks and military acadamies and great leaders i will spit out a gigantic force of troops that will not only take enemy cities but also defend them. Since I model myself after the Qin Dynasty most of my larger cities are already holding some World Wonders (great wall) as well as spitting out my National wonders (ironworks, Forbidden Palace) in choice cities so my culture, production and maintenence is improved sequentially.

since i have a great spy network and choice allies all over the world i have already compared my power graph with that of the US and other superpowers and built my military as they did... and my vassels (Iran, Cuba) are great staging grounds for my global super strike in which i will topple over a dozen countries. i will then pay off countries like Korea/Philapennes/Venezuala/Russia to stop all foreign trade and cut off valuable resources. With my stranglehold on almost every continent in the world at this point i will easily wipe out puny Europe and the US will literally be at war with the entire world.

after we PWN them in a few short years i will have won a domination victory.

Why don't you just set up an online forum for all teh world leaders, and then pwn them all in a chat battle

[ZEE]

i thought of that but i thought the "CIV" comparison would be a better read

Top toon, I've only just discovered it because of my 4 year old

I'd start with China. The US has enormous advantages at the moment, but it would be easier to pull a World Conquest with China.

The most important thing that China has going for itself is it's combination of a large pool of manpower and it's willingness to take casualties, something the the US and EU lack.

We don't really know about the EU as a whole since it hasn't been involved in any wars...

Well, that's some proof too isn't it?
