You can play this game with one hand while eating food with the other.

I made 6 nukes then used my UN votes to pass a non-nuclear proliferation so no one else could build them.

Ghandi wasn't happy.

12/10 would get killed by peaceful protester again

Declared war on France, was met with no opposing force and a straight shot to the Capital.














This is the most realistic game I have ever played.

>After long time away from this game, decide play casually with a friend
>Instead usual (small) continents we started at Earth map and decided random our civs with raging barbarians
>Got Russia and started at Siberia
>"Welp this is awkward"
>Because most of my lands are tundra i'm building farm every piece dirt i could find
>3 barbarian camp spawned as triangle position to my capital and they sending their hordes
>Lost my chances at library while fighting and spending every 200 gold i got to warriors, then lost stonhenge then decided not build any wonder at all
>But it was too late my too close neighbour Egypt already expanding to most rich lands "i actually own"
>Decided going tradition
>Settled first 4 cities for mostly natural resources
>Only got wine alongside with gems so we're bunch of drunkard happy people
>I'm literally at the bottom of the list
>Because of Egypt i'm pushed to tundra lands so all of my cities are small farming villages with population of 1-3
>People already in classical, racing for wonders while i trying to fix my economy which is -12 every turn, and it eventually made my science 1 like 8 turns.
>Learnt that my friend is started at India as *Indians* -Native American lol- so we're pretty much neighboors
>"Omg f*cker did build that great library literally first time"
>"Egypt completed pyramids" we're joking about historical accuracy level of this game
>Happens to be there is Atilla at the bottom of China's real world territory
>"Ouch we're f*cked up"
>"I dont give flying f*ck anymore, this is not going to my win"
>100 turns later; Atilla still regularly declares war on us and sends his hordes to literally bulldoze us but because of stupidness of this games AI we always make fool of him with terrain and stuff so he cant win
>It is year 1400, finally fixed economy but i tried so hard so i got 2 great merchant and highest GNP of world
>My country is still rural and low populated while Egypt settled their 8th city
>As last desperate attempt assembled every possible army i could and declared war on Egypt
>Holy f*ck it is -32 gold with Golden Age
>Happens to be Egypt the one who's feeding my economy with 3 caravans
>Took every city they had with 200 years of fighting except they settled in place of Kiev, "oh look i got puppet Ukraine with me now, and it is going to hate me forever like real Ukraine too"
>My friend were decided to stand with me against Egypt, so i protected his lands against hordes of Atilla
>"So we're now like Putin and his best pal Esed eh?"
>Largest country in the world with highest populated army
>I'm playing with Russia and literally have lands the real Russia owns
>Still rural and low on tech, only wonder i got is Hanging Gardens
>No port city, even didnt got the compass tech
>"I need to reach Mediterranean"
>There is Songai in Arabistan, Anatolia and Balkans, they also founders of Islam and trying hard to spread it
>"Kebab must be removed"
>Again Atilla declared war on me with Songai alongside him
>"It is my time to shine"
>And now this is kinda spooky, it is not actually that historically right but it kinda is
>Trying to fight Songhai, their "cavalry" beating my ♥♥♥ off, i'm losing every piece of army but trying to hold the line with remmnants, their one unit is holding and killing my two units
>"Welp it is kinda familiar"
>Started losing my frontier cities to them
>"This is familiar too"
>We fought like 200 years straight with taking and losing our frontier cities repeatedly
>"Omg this is familiar too.."
>They finally got poor and lost most of their units and they're worst at science while i spam units from all of my cities and got better at tech everytime with espionage and rushes
>"Holy hell this is familiar too"
>My friend was dominating at the sea while i was dominating at land, he came with his superior fleet and small shore force to accompany it to take their capital with rushing their one tile widht sea passage
>Year is 1918
>Whole Middle East is now war zone and burning
>Just completed my 3rd factory and choose Order ideology because i got like 20 cities.
>We finally beat great Songai, once one of the strongest empires of the world at middle and early renaissance age, we're now spliting and colonizing it. My friend took whole Arabistan as offsea colony while i took whole Anatolia and Bosphorus for sailing Mediterranean, they got only one small city because of our pity at the middle of our new lands..
>"HOLY SH*T, I'M DONE"

This was the very best game i played with best historical refferences happened randomly & absurdly..

JUST BUY IT

Ill only play an hour or two. *1 hour later, its 6 hours later.*

• Everything but Ghandi

• Ghandi

10/10 Would get nuked by ghandi again.

Start game
Pick France
Builds army
Everyone still has a larger army then me so I have to build more army
"Unit matinence too high"
Worried because the entire Mongolian army is at my border.
Tries to make peace with Mongolians
Fails
Almost loses my capital
Mongolia wants peace if I give them everything I have
I say no
Mongolia almost takes capital again
Gives mongolia all my stuff
Peace at last
Continues game
"You have met Russia"
Russia is nice to me
Build one city next to Russia because we are friends
Russia denounces you
Russia declares war on you
Has to give Russia the city I just built so I dont lose my capital
I am now surrounded by people who hate me.
My army size is about 3 units now
"screw culture victory"
Builds only army units
removes all workers
"Your people are very unhappy"
Not care that people are unhappy
Declares war on mongolia
Destroys mongolia
Declares war on Russia
Destroys Russia
Everyone thinks Im a warmongerer
I destroy all of their empires.
Domination Victory

Moral of this game: you can't win unless you slaughter everything in your path.

Started with Ethiopia, adopted Islam, made Russia islamic state, extinguished Protestanism and Catholizism, lost nuclear race and then pacified the nuclear-state Russia to win as a world leader... Priceless!
