Mmm. Civ IV
Civ IV almost made me late for work again today. :-p Although I didn't have to be here until 1 since I'm doing an afternoon today.
Currently playing as Tokugawa, Pangea, Noble difficulty. I actually wound up as "Japan on a Lake!" which was nice. My second city (and my original production powerhouse) was next to a lake AND the ocean. Hello three food fresh water lakes (with a Lighthouse)! I also have a relatively desert laden city with a freshwater lake (and another Lighthouse!) which is freakishly productive all things considered. My opponents are India, Spain, America, Mali, Russia, and China. China is my bestest of bestest buds and would eat out of my palm if I asked him. America is moderately friendly, but everyone else pretty much wants me dead.
Asoka of India has one city left (I took out all but two early on, one of his remaining culture flipped to Isabella of Spain, his remaining one is on the other side of Spain). I'm currently at war with Spain, who apparently had a Defensive Pact with India (o_O) so my War Weariness went insane. I'll just switch to Police State... oh, wait, no, didn't research the tech for it so I CAN'T! Oopsie. Culture slider goes up to 60% (eep!) and all's well in the world (good thing I actually built Theaters...) It's okay, though. She's only got four or five cities left (one of which is on a 1 tile island...), and I only need to take one more to reach Asoka and finish wiping him off the planet (and hence rid myself of one war's worth of weariness). Next up, Mansa Musa of the Malinese empire. He hates me already, so I've been waiting for him to sneak attack me. Of course, I have the ARMY OF DOOM which probably is making him wet his pants, so he may not do that. Time to start building tanks! ^_^
It was pretty funny when I first declared on Isabella. She rushed one of my micro-stacks, obliterating her own army in the process. Then she tried to send a naval sneak attack towards the former Indian cities I had taken, except I had a HUGE number of naval ships there already and sank her three frigates and three Galleons full of troops. That was probably half her army right there. And she didn't even try to get them back to port to keep them from sleeping with the fishies after the first round when I was only able to take out the Frigates.
My next game is going to be Archipelago. I wanna try something new. :) I'm thinking of being Spain again.
