i shouldn't wipe tamar of georgia off the map for declaring a surprise war and then asking to make peace as soon as possible. that would just be petty.
but i am nothing if not petty.
hmm. i'll give it a couple more turns, do some poking about being on the offensive and see how it goes

Citizens of Tumblr, I’m about to start a new Civilization VI game, and want to rename all my cities and choose a dumb religion name. I call upon your aid to bring me the most dumb choices out there. I will provide screenshots of the cities you have subjected to pain and minor confusion in return. (Yes, I did pay money for this to be blazed I’m bored)

dog if you just watched the Zulu declare war on an unarmed korean empire then get its entire ass beat when the most advanced and productive empire in the world built the worlds largest army in 10 or so turns why would you think its a good idea to do the exact same thing.

Late game Civ still having barbarians makes me so uncomfortable
These guys have been there for thousands of years, they've even discovered gunpowder, please have some respect for them ?? Are they barbarians just because they don't make art ??
I would like to meet their leaders. Maybe we can establish a merchant route.

As a Tumblrina? Oh, no, no, no. That's not the aspect of Caesar's life I celebrate.

I'm playing Civilization 6 for the first time in ages, so I got the DLC I didn't already have.
Zombies?!
And I'm not allowed make my own?!?!
And no, taking control of them isn't enough. If my soothsayer can set off volcanic eruptions, I should get a necromancer who makes zombies for me. With some clever mechanics about zombifying enemy units I kill.
...who am I kidding, of course it's enough.

okay sid meier’s civilization twitter account, you win this one
(IMAGE ID: a screenshot of the Sid Meier’s Civilization Twitter account. It displays six different images of Alexander the Great from six different Civilization games which look drastically different, ranging from lionlike leader to rat-faced little bitch to alpha chin man to blonde guy I guess to that dude that’s on the cover of every paperback romance to discarded Shrek human design. The account has captioned these images “Did you do something with your hair, Alexander?”)

I did it! After over 20 years of playing Civilization, I've accomplished what I never thought possible: I saved my game and quit at a reasonable time to go to bed!

Playing a civ game for culture victory and ive never done it before so my entire strategy is build EVERY SINGLE wonder playing as qin shi huang… so far only one hasnt been built by me. My capital looks like las vegas cus unfortunately attempting this makes it extremely difficult to do absolutely anything else, building armies, building cities, expanding religion (might not be that hard but i forgot and japan converted me lol, i have 2 cities on turn 188) but its not going terribly and i have high score so maybe at least i’ll win with that.
