Lunch today was interesting, not only did i get to make some burritos for both Shi and I, but i also got to spend some time playing my civilization game. Shiloe gave it to me for valentine's day, i still haven't gotten tired of it!
so i tried to start a game, playing as the Russians, the other day. as it turns out, i never got to finish. In fact, i only got about two minutes into it, founded a second city then had to move on with life.
So today during lunch i decided to again, try to dominate the planet in one fell swoop, and once again, be the awesome dictator. Shiloe sat next to me, advising what names would work best for my newly founded cities. The French and English then declared war on my kingdom! i paused to look at the time, 12:42 pm.... i had eight minutes to turn things around and make peace with at least one of those leaders, otherwise my kingdom and all the technology i had developed would collapse!
The English stole some of my settlers, i tried to get them back... but they were gone!
then, they founded a city right next to my capitol. my capitol at this point was a level 9 city, the new English city, founded with my stolen settlers was now a level 3! i decided to send an army at them, to try and get it back. unfortunately all of their troops were level 27 and i was only a level 12.
so i began the retreat back to the capitol to restrategize my take over. then.. in the upper left corner of the screen a battle between french knights and my legions!!! I lost! and they took over one of my favorite cities and stole the technology of irrigation.
I began to sweat, things were only going downhill, and i didn't have enough time to build up enough armies to take those cities back. i took this moment of stress to glance at the clock. 12:50 pm.... i had to go.... but i needed to turn something around!
luckily i had started my capital building catepults. i built an army and took back the most recently captured city. then, almost like they knew i was in a hurry, the french offered peace. I took it, then saved my game.
maybe tonight, i will win the game. :)
