Civilization V Stories - General

I'm sure in our playthroughs of Sid Meier's Civilization V that we've all had that amazing story to tell. Some grand liberation, some clever military tactic, some amazing luck against overwhelming odds, or something hilariously stupid the AI does. So post your long winded stories of Sid Meier's Civilization. I'll go first. So I was playing a modded Civ V. Not gameplay wise, I mean besides adding more luxury resources. Just some Civs added. So on my continent was Abraham Lincoln, Casmir The III, Churchill, and Adolf Hitler. As you can imagine Hitler wasn't playing nice, though oddly he was friendly to me, because I went for the small tradition kingdom; few cities with large tracts of land. But needless to say Hitler was, of course, Hitler and declared war on Lincoln. Now Lincoln was my BFF too, along with Poland, and England. I was planning on not getting too war happy, but seeing Philadelphia and Washington Captured set me off! I was not gonna let one of my BFFs get harassed by Nazis. All Lincoln had left when his war ended was New York, which became the holy city for Confucianism. So I take my very small defense army with two catapults, and turn it into a quick response liberation force. I lost two units but suceeded in liberating Philadelphia. Quickly afterwards, Hitler asked for peace, and so I did, wanting to take the new few turns to develop a serious liberation force for Washington. Meanwhile I only pondered what those poor Americans in Washington had to deal with under a tyrannical king (This was during the early eras FYI.) Meanwhile, Poland, who was settling lands like crazy, turning into this Russia of the game, declared war upon Hitler. Time passed and I had a force of two Long Swordsmen, a crossbow unit, and two Trebuchets. My plan was to sail my liberation force up along the eastern coast, since There's a landing site not far from Washington, after arriving on the land, I would take out any barbarian forces that were nearby to earn favors from the local city-state of Lviv. there was a sort of "Ocean inlet" that was very small. So I sailed the trebuchets across, while my fleshy based units crossed a small land bridge to the outskirts of Washington, where upon I would take out any forces I saw, and liberate the city. During this planning and developing of said force I played nice and forgiving with Hitler, and he didn't know a thing. As my forces were ready and sent out, I got a note from Churchill, asking to join them in war against the Nazis, I gladly accepted the 10 turns option, since I had to get my forces to the landing site. After arriving to said landing site and taking out barbarians, I set up my forces, and on the turn I declared war on Nazi Germany, I asked Lincoln if he would join me in the grand liberation of his city? He politely declined. And so I went in! taking quite a trashing, but I succeeded, Washington was Liberated from Nazi tyranny! Meanwhile I sent a Knight unit to pillage German farms and such to hurt the Fuhrer's developments, noticing that Poland was doing quite the same. As the city was liberated, Lincoln immediately sent a force of regular swordsmen to garrison the newly reclaimed capital. Hitler soon after surrendered, and I sent my units home, happy in the fact that I had played a hero of my allies, that Lincoln and Poland would never forget! Did I mention I was playing as Morocco? :v: Here's an Epilogue for goodies! Sometime later, Lincoln got revenge come Industrial era, and captured Munich, where it was declared an American city for the rest of the game. Hamburg was the unluckiest of the three Nazi cities, being burnt to the ground by Poland, with no one on the continent giving a single shit for Hitler. I had sent in a force to "finish the job" as it were, and capture the city of Berlin, kicking that mean ass Hitler out of our game. I gave the capital to Poland, out of fear since Casmir's country was huge, and I did not want to deal with a man who had the resources to produce an army super quick. The villain of our continent was dead and gone; and replaced by King Louis the XIV the moment I arrived to colonize into the new world, and noticed him bullying the poor pirates, led by Henry Morgan. But that's another story for a few posts later.

Already wrote the story in some other thread before, but here's my first civ story: I was playing as Japan in a large world with 10+ A.I civs. Generally i was peaceful, and disagreed to join any wars and denounce other civs. Then Persia decides I'm weak and declares war on me while invading my borders. Since i wasn't ready, they captured Tokyo. But my army was strong enough, so I took back Tokyo and started invading their borders for revenge. At the end, Darius begged for peace after i conquered three of his cities. France, who was my first ally in the game praised me for my actions but America and Germany didn't like it and called me a warmonger. (Even though Germany eliminated Mongolia and Ethiopia while America was invading England) Washington declares war on me but since he's at the other side of the globe, nothing happens. There's a war but no fighting at all. France already eliminated lots of civs and owns like 67% of the entire map. After a few turns i realized Napoleon has many units at my borders. Next thing i knew that little piece of shit backstabbed me and declared war on me (even though he was my ally) I held off the French army as long as i could. In return i liberated some of the other civs who were under French occupation: Carthage and Byzantium. Dido is happy and pleased with my actions and became my ally. However Theadora tells me to fuck off and denounces me, so I got pissed and conquered Byzantium by myself. Capturing Byzantium pleases Napoleon (wut) and he decides to be my friend again. I accept his request since i need time to rebuild my army. Carthage however was a good supporting ally. But since Dido got eliminated during the Medieval Era, she still had shitty units. Therefore Persia bombed the shit out of Carthage and decided to start claiming more land for themselves. I protected my fellow ally and went along and conquered all of Persia's land. Persia was the first civ i eliminated from play. Of course this pisses off the other civs across the ocean and America declares war on me (again) but there weren't any fighting. At the end, Napoleon backstabs me again and starts raining bombs on my cities. I though it was a good idea to nuke his border cities (OH I WAS SO WRONG) Then Napoleon was super pissed, and sent like 50 atomic bombs to rain hell on my country. At the end, I gave up seeing Japan gets blown back to the stone age so i never touch the save again.

once i was playing civ 4 and i sent my first guy out and he got killed by a wolf, the i got scared and quit the game

i started the game played it was then a lot of time later

im getting this game right now to play for the first time uh

I once found an Island shaped like a penis and conquered it. [img]http://i.imgur.com/TFzpC8H.jpg[/img] Nothing that impressive happens when I play.

this one time ghandi nuked me

Caesar was being a dick and denounced me so I nuked the shit out of Rome and took the whole country but when I saw him looking so sad when he lost everything I felt guilt so I reloaded the game to early save and decided not to declare war on Rome :v:

Was playing as the good old USA and was up against China, Persia, France, and the Arabians. Was at war with pretty much every other leading nation, only because they were dicks. I developed nukes and they all messaged me at the same time crying for peace. I set up amazing agreements with them and was getting insane benefits, even got gifted a couple cities and i had to give up nothing. I started to build up an army and the 3 other main nations were all getting concerned, then they developed nukes and went right back to declaring war. Luckily I was able to hold them off, but I lost a few cities and any time I asked for a peace agreement they told me to go shove it. They broke down my army after a couple hours and were closing in on my capital when I launched the rocket getting a science victory. Higher difficulty AI are cruel.

I was playing as the Norse. I's carved out a nice portion of the map for myself, was miles ahead on research, and was devoting production to rocket parts for a science victory. China was dominating the rest of the map, and slowly eroding away the other civs. England, in particular, was down to a couple of cities utterly surrounded by Chinese territory. I felt bad for them, seeing as how I was about to abandon the planet and doom them to destruction and Chinese food. So, when I got to the final rocket part, I paused production, and gradually began gifting them everything I had. All my cities, money, everything. Eventually England and china where both on equal terms and I was down to a single city in the corner of the map. Then I gave everyone Nuke technology to spice things up, churned out the last rocket part and ran like fuckery.

I was playing with rilez and a couple of other people. I was playing as nazi germany planning to take over the world, and then he uses that stupid fucking glitch to steal all my shit and says "i didn't use any glitch"
