Had so much fun with Civ V last night.
Played one of my games where I was already victorious. One thing I can't stand about the Information Age is that it barely lasts anything at all before somebody has met a victory condition. It's good that it lets you keep playing past that.
I settled some old scores with the Roman Empire, liberated a few capitals and City States. Going to bring down the evil empire and divide their land between its rightful owners. Bring stability to the world.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Or anyone that is remotely human. Ah well. It's 1:24 over here anyway, and two nights staying up till 5 is just not good practice.
That and my typing speed is significantly slower on a phone because I'm using one hand on a keyboard smaller than my palm
Pax Romana? What Pax Romana?

Well... except the aqueduct, I guess...
Roman Empire was a complete prick.
At least the French were shitty invaders, but the Romans were actually good at expanding.
They straight up conquered a few city states when they couldn't sway their allegiance from me to them. They conquered Austria and Denmark after a declaration of friendship.
They got desperate and launched a full assault on my small, science focused empire, but were too late to stop my rocket launch.
Right now, I've got the majority of UN votes, a rocket in space and was narrowly beaten in a cultural victory by Sweden, but the Swedes were pretty decent guys so I'll let em have that one.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I started right next to Napoleon for the third time in a row, so I didn't let myself get caught unprepared.
Conquered one of his cities, and he gave me another in the peace accord.
I only actually settled one other city for the whole game. Four cities is enough to stay productive and competitive without losing your edge on cultural development.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Ethiopia is good for tiny empires.
Might try a one city challenge, but I imagine tech development would be very damn slow.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?It was so damn slow. Like - really slow. And Greece bullied me. Eventually it was China who conquered me. And China got biiig. Took most of Denmark and basically cut the large Russian neighbour of mine down to a quarter, or even jus one city which wasn't even their capital

Also, I'm imagining Coras' sword as a gladius, because Space Roman.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?It was infuriating being unable to react to plane attacks. Here I was in the Industrial Age while Greece had tanks, and nukes.
But at least most of the world followed my religion in the end- Cynicism. So I made an impact on History.
