This is a civ 4 game, not 5, but it's extremely meme worthy fun so far and it's still very early on.

By the time you get your gay ass ship I'll already have a settlement in every island, taken every ruin in the map, and have so many Moai I can achieve a cultural victory in a couple of turns.

>Not being egypt and building every wonder
Try taking my cities when all my units have 45% bonus on defense, you can only move one hex, and my cities have insane defenses.
>>340739210
Ah, Capital Wonder City, how I love that strategy.
Too bad that if it gets captured, you lost the entire game.
Once I razed it down I discovered this wasn't even a mountain tile, it just looked like one.

Has anyone ever been as far even as decided to build a railroad on top of their mountain city?
>>340738403
Pay him off. It's not expensive for warmongers like him.
I got bored with my workers. At least my east coast was safe.

>they can't take Istanbul with my defence
>they got too many Impis so I can't counterattack
>Shaka refuses to make peace even though he will never defeat me
>we stay at war for eras, just pushing each others borders with Great Generals
>Impis start to be outdated, start to push enough to take Umgungundlovu
>Spain took all Indonesian cities meanwhile, now start to attack the Zulus from the east
>Zulus finally destroyed after centuries of conflict
>Spain becomes my best buddy, I help them to kick Indonesian and Venetian ass

>Shaka refuses to make peace even though he will never defeat me
I had a war like this where that Iroquois guy attacked me in the ancient era and would only make peace if I agreed to give him my city (I only had 3). He was the game's big superpower and I just barely fend him off until he gets rocket artillery and I have to give up.

I was sitting on 1 city in the amazons as egypt in vanilla.
Had a scout with Survivalism III that had turned into a crossbowman.
Had a few puppet cities.
Got the ranged promotions(who just added strength like any other promotion).
Started realizing that Rome was teching ahead way too much so I sent the crossbowman and gathered some ancient huts and eventually got it to turn into mechanized infantry.
Landed in Africa with it and conquered the entire world with that 1 unit.
Rome had infantry, but not mechanized infantry at the beginning of the war.
Had like +50% defense, +60% open(from ranged promotions), then another +60% open(from melee promotions).
That unit was crazy.
