Wow it has been ages since I last logged on and I thought what better way than to start with one of my favourite posts
You know you have lost the war when... You order your cavalry to charge, they all charge, then all die, because they attacked tanks
Always use camels when attacking tanks. Everyone knows that. :inquisitive:
You have lost the war when... you are all dead never stop fighting!
...the real snow starts and you're nowhere near Moscow yet.
:egypt:
you know you've lost the war when your best general defects to the enemy.
...gunpowder's invented and you're still fighting King Tut's endless hordes:egypt:
You know you've lost the war when you defect to the enemy.
Even if you're only a diplomat. :beam:
When the enemy ruler has you on the chopping block before him, with an axe raised...
...when you use camels, because they suck.
EDIT:Big time.
.... when one man looks to his left and only sees the enemies flags
when your fighting against 300 fully built men wearing nothing but red capes screaming FOOOORRRR SPPPARRTTAAA!!!!
Thats when you know you are totally screwed.
...you've got Austria-Hungary on your side.
Just turn around and go home when your diplomat gets kicked down a well. Save yourself the hassle.Quote:

...When you are allied to Motep ( :grin2: )
...When you are an ally of a nation fighting Motep
when your vast horde of spearman cannon fodder from the bronze age destroys one tank. And that tank belonged to Ghandi who lives on top of a mountain fortress. And Ghandi is the only one who has the uranium resource and you built the Manhattan Project to try to nuke Ghandi out of there.
Curse you, Ghandi!!! (on Diety level from Civilization II)
... You start posting on a forum about that new little new game you think should manage to occupy you for a month or so.........
Haliburton says "no" to your latest contract proposal.
who is Haliburton?
...when you've retreated to your last city, your denarii are in red and 4 digits, and your faction heir has the plague.
...You pick Pontus
heh...Quote:

When Dick Cheney buys Haliburton? :sweatdrop:Quote:

When the best troops you can field are Eastern Infantry...
When the Roman Expansion reaches you're borders.
When a guy wearing nothing but his birthday suit and a grin on his face can beat you're well trained roman legionaries (geastate from eb)
When you're facing an epic sized wall and all you have to climb it are Phalanx units.
When Creative Assembly releases a new Total war game, which has a new AI, that is capable of defeating world champion in chess in 5 turns, which uses ambushes and flank attacks in each battle, as well as luring your units into traps, makes use of neat diplomacy to unite all the world against you in the campaign, AI, that knows the weaknesses of human mind, and predicts your movements. Sometimes it pretends to be weak or beaten, just to launch a new attack, after it has fooled you. And that happens on "easy" difficulty settings.
AI also learns from it's mistakes and becomes more and more clever with each campaign, so, even if you learn to play the game very well, AI has learned even more by that time.
Yeah, you are pretty much doomed.
Yeah but knowing CA, I don't think thats going to happen :laugh4:Quote:
