Alright, this is going to sound really stupid and dorky

[Second_Tier_My_Ass]

I just played a game of Civilization III on my computer. For those that don't know, you're basically in charge of a nation and you raise it from tribal levels all the way to the present day and beyond, and you play against up to about 20 different computer nations. Anyway, usually I play cut-throat and just try to take over everyone else and they usually get pretty mad and sometimes I even die when they gang up on me. But this time I tried to be friendly to all other nations. I established open trade with them all, but I refused to form alliances with anyone, even though every other nation would ask me repeatedly for my help in fighting another nation. My citizens were easily the happiest in the world and I had the strongest armies, and in fact all of the opponent cities which surrounded me would break away from their nations and ask to join mine. I established the United Nations about 50 years faster than usual, and I was unanimously elected ruler of the world and the game was over. I'd never played a game of Civ III so quickly and peacefully in my life!

Thank you, Ron Paul!

Thats awesome!

I had downloaded some version of civilization through a torrent, but the controls were not to my liking using a laptop w/o mouse so I uninstalled it. Should I give it another go?

I'm sure its a functioning non-corrupt UN.

[1913_to_2008]

Thats cool

[tyler477]

haha i am downloading civ lV now just to try it out!!

The problem is that if you don't establish a UN in the game, another country will. Could be just some short sidedness of the game.

[RPFTW!]

Excellent job!

I liked civ 3 but I hate how corruption worked

If you're into strategy type games, then absolutely. I prefer those types of games over blowing things up and killing people. Chess > Halo

[kojirodensetsu]

Might I recommend http://www.nationstates.net/


It's pretty fun for awhile but after you start getting repeat issues it gets boring fast. Still, if you haven't played it before I highly recommend it. Basically you have a nation, and every day you're given certain issues. Your government changes depending on your answer. It's purely text based.

[kylejack]

Congratulations, you created one-world government and sold us all into slavery! Thanks a lot!

;)

[TwiLeXia]

Haha nice just shows you ron paul's strat really does work!

Lol! Nice, except for the UN bit. :(

[LFOD]

Cool - I love the Civ series. I'll have to try the RP strategy myself now.

[DXDoug]

aww Great times playing civs 3 , now playing civs 4.
maybe civs 5 will have ron paul as a leader of america you can play... We should definately try and make our own history and get it a reality so future generations can play as Ron Paul the leader of the free usa

Why not Civ IV?

But yea, good job. Who woulda known that PEACE is so damn productive? :)

[jgmaynard]

I used to play Alpha Centauri a lot, and I'd usually try to do it that way (I also dumped a bunch of money in to research, I know, I know), and I'd usually do pretty well.

I forget the details but I recall a certain welfare-state-bias GIGO in the rules/engine.
