Call To Power II and Iraqi missiles

David Wulff

(Pronounciation guide: miss-eyels not miss-ells.) http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2443034,00.html[^] The situation reminds me of the PC game Call To Power II. Whenever I wanted something from another civilisation I would automatically ask them in agressive terms and threaten them with war if they didn't comply in full - with no compromises - no matter what I asked of them. Those that disagreed didn't last long. Those that did I allowed to become big and powerful along side me, but only under my terms. If they disobeyed my request to not research a particular techonology or to enter a particular area that might allow them to threaten me in the future I bombed them back into the Stone Age and then eventually stopped and made out (through the diplomacy) that I was the good guy for doing so. Worked quite well really - I'd win about half of the games I played, many more than by playing the peace maker. :suss:

in CivIII, it's theoretically possible to win peacefully (by being voted head of the UN, i think). but in reality, the fucking Zulus and the sneaky Chinese are always so hyper-aggressive that they'll attack you for no reason at all, and drag you into these worldwide mutual-protection & trade-embargo wars. so, you never get the chance. fucking zulus. -c

When history comes, it always takes you by surprise.

Bobber!

Zulus are always a pain in the ass. In Civ 1, the Indians and Russians were really bad too. What hurt me most was that Gandhi declared war on me several times. He's a peaceful person! Needless to say, I nuked them all to hell for f*cking with me and my business.

Did you ever play a game called "Populous"? It was almost better than Civilization.. Instead of being the leader of a nation, you were god. Literally. :) Hmm. you're young, aren't you? Were you born at the time Civilization was released? Does the abbreviations CGA, EGA and PC/XT ring any bells? Just checking.. ;) -- It's not unusual to be picked up by a klingon woman It's not unusual to have fun with a klingon When I see you kicking me around It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die
