SO with Civ 6 announced why not share your stories of the wonderful game of Civilization 5. Most of us have played Civ 5 or at least heard of it. So why not share your stories, whether they be what happens in the game or how it affected you IRL. And why not post those Civ 5 dank mems as well. GO!

I once started a game in France surrounded by natural wonders on a continent of my own. These boosted my science output, so I was researching things like crazy from my cities. Other parts of my island were blessed with raw materials, though few luxury ones. I min-maxed my cities for science while I farmed military troops off of the single city state I shared my continent with. Throughout all that, I only met one other civilizations from a picking of at least 10 or so. This was Spain. Super isolated.

By the time I started researching WWII tech, I started receiving envoys some Spanish caravels in my coasts. I sailed over on my iron ships and discovered that people were still dinking around with cannons and Napoleon-era tech. We all learned pretty quickly that musketmen and artillery fire did little to my bombing biplanes.

Lemme tell you, there's something funny about seeing these well-dressed little men fire a neat volley into a tank. Like a puppy biting at a grown man's ankle.

I steamrolled about half the other continents and farmed uranium while I built my spaceship and won my first tech victory.

I once got sick of America insulting me so i send my 18 nuclear submarines towards them (ofcourse fully loaded)

Gues they didn't like being on the receiving end of nuclear freedom...

I played Netherlands once, and Polynesia was far north of me and Iroquois was in between us. I had friendships with both of them. They spent most of the early game in constant warfare but I was trying to be friends with everyone and not get involved but then Iroquois started expanding around my left flank and limiting my expansion so when Polynesia asked if I wanted to go to war with Iroquois with them I gladly accepted. The war lasted like 10 turns and Iroquois solely invaded me while Polynesia did shit. I lost a tiny border city to Iroquois because I did not realize they had built such a military machine. We made peace relatively quickly. About 5 turns later I realized Polynesia had me as guarded because 'I declared war on a civ I had a declaration of friendship with', being Iroquois. They then denounced me and Polynesia and Iroquois went to war together against me. All because Polynesia was mad at me for accepting their offer to betray Iroquois. It makes me wonder, was it some act of great Polynesian deception all along?

Nah. Civ just has derpy AI.

I saw William of Orange take Venice is about 50 turns in from the ancient era. Pooed it a little.

Recently I started a game of Civ and thought i'd try to win ways i hadnt tried before, such as diplomacy. Focusing on being friendly with City-States and getting trade routes, I didn't take the time to make any settlers and had one city.

Long story short, I claimed land too close to Germany, they declared war, and RIP my Civ game. ;-;

As Russia, I started out in the middle of a stone terrain, with very little natural resources. However, it turned out that there was a ton of Salt around there, which I claimed and made a boatload of money off of. Seriously, every nation wanted my salt, and were willing to pay a lot of gold for it.
Later, I decided to face off against China, who was like the fourth strongest nation on the map. We never liked each other, so I just thought it would be funny. However, I get the help of Germany, the Aztecs, and Poland against China, and we all tag team it. Poland and I brought my forces from the south, Germany came in from the west, and the Aztecs from the north. Most of my army consisted of Death Robots, so that was a lot of fun.
Eventually, the war ended with me capturing Shanghai and the Aztecs taking Beijing.
Moral of the story: Never face off against Mother Russia.

In civ 5 beyond earth, I played as the 11th catholic crusade (it's a mod).

I essentially crusaded anyone who wronged me, and ended up destroying every other nation in the most odd way. One time I crushed them by summoning giant worms inside their bases, other times we completely massed them over with our fascist war machine.

Needless to say, I won by conquest.

"Themed city names"

That's putting it lightly

I once was Britain, staged in what would be Europe, and invaded Napolion in far east Russia. Destroyed the skrub with my huge army, then moved them south to Africa and the Middle East to destroy someone else.

On a later game, I was on a circular map, sided with America and China, against Germany, France, and Arabia. Before long, my massive army had annihilated Germany to my south, and moved on to Arabia south east of me past China. I'm in the process of a massive invasion. I also eventually destroyed Germany's last Submarine(Lel), and knocked them out of the game. Funny because all that was left of Germany was one sub. For years. GG
