[quote=@Shorticus] [@Theodorable] Out of curiosity, should we expect events not caused by the players (such as anomalies floating through space or independent species) to impact us during the course of the roleplay? You let the game last long enough to have nukes? I will teach you the true way of war: [b]STEP ONE[/b] Play Songhai. [b]STEP TWO[/b] Attack everyone. [b]STEP THREE[/b] You win. EDiT: I once did this to a friend who wanted to play wonder-rushing Egypt. He wouldn't talk to me for weeks afterward. [/quote] Or get ur face rekt in by the Huns. Or the Mongols. Or the Aztecs. Or Zuluman. Or Rome. Or Morocco (I shit you not, I once saw a game where they wiped out almost half of all the other civs before chilling the fuck out, this was also on a map with very little desert tiles too).
