America good. LOL.. ROFLMAO .. newsflash, we're evil.. EVIL!!!! We're the type of villain that are so completely insane, we think we're good and do stuff for the good of the people. Very much like Bin Laden, so twisted we think we're doing the world a favor.

Don't get me wrong, I love this country. And I love the fact we're so evil we are blinded by its magnificent brilliance. We are the Jeffery Dahmer of the world, Osama is Ben Volonovich, the bully that picked on you in High School. Sooner or later, we'll get him and eat em upl.

This country is disrupting the flow of the natural order of things, that is evil unto itself. We are enslaving the world in "democracy" and "capitalism." And worst of all, we're giving them false hope that they can be like us.. I don't know about you, but i find that sadistically funny. Imagine, the natives of India (I say native with some sarcasm since they had to have massacred someone to get to live there.) waiting in line at MacDonalds. I've seen Indians (the ones from India) eating at MacDonalds. I have taken some of my Indian "friends" out for burger. I knew they were Hindu, but oh well.. AND to watch them eat meat from their sacred animal. I had that tingly feeling inside i just had to run to the rest room. *groan*

I'm curious, if Great Britain invaded the Soviet Union, do you really think the United States would come to the Soviets' rescue? No, good civs shouldn't always come to the side of the defender.

ROFL... Great Britain would never have the balls to invade the Soviet Union or even Russia now. They lost them some time ago. I think the Germans still has them.

A good and better example would be if Iraq invades Iran. Would we help Iraq againts Iran knowing that Iran was the one being invaded. NAW.. I DOUBT IT..

I agree. Some like fighting everything, and complain that the AI isn't aggressive enough. Well, I DON'T. There wasn't a single game where one of my neighbouring empires wasn't a huge bully that kept on harassing me, even on gigantic maps. I mean, let me enjoy my empire-building without having to constantly defend myself against a superior foe.

So fine, I shouldn't receive my winnings on silver platter, I agree, and other empires really can pass me along and become greater than I am. But WHY every single game this empire happens to be right next door to me?!? Every game one of my neighbours keeps pestering me. Even on gigantic maps where there should be some empires long away from mine. Yet the huge bullies are always picking on me, which reminds me of high-school all over again

I want to enjoy a nice game, not constantly fight a losing battle. I really don't like combat. At all. But I don't want to fight a complete dummy by lowering the difficulty level. What I say is: please, oh, please, Brad/Stardock, consider adding an aggressiveness option or slider to the game in the future, so people like me (or usmc210, here) could enjoy their game of behind-the-scenes backstabbing, researching, building and trading, and people who enjoy fighting would have their bloodshed right from the start. Thank you.

Wow Achillus...How did I know someone was going to try to make this posting into a yahoo message board and flame it. Thats why i used "Good" and "Evil".

First I wish you would stand on the US Mex boarder and tell all the illegals how "Evil" America is and that the former "USSR" was a much better place, maybe it would cut down on the Immagration problem we have here in AZ.

Second, I ask you to give an example of when 2 Democratic/"Good" Countries ever went to war with eachother. And I mean real Democracy not like Former Soviet Union and Communist China "Democracy"

Third, Your example of Iraq and Iran, Well if 2 "Evil" countries go to war why would the "Good" countries waste Time, Money, and Men?

So please Don't Flame my Post, and certainly if you do, make it sound better.

P.S. Besides the Flamers, Does anyone thing I provided good examples in my first Post.

Hey USMC. I was delirious with fever when I posted that. I was only kidding but the nurses got me my meds (after a quick struggle and a broken nose, not mine btw) and now I'm a happy camper.

Anyways, you have my apology. (What USMC doesn't know is that I am only buying my time before I strike.. Mwaahaha)

Yes, I know about India and MacDonalds. But wouldn't it be funny if it was and they just tell people its Turkey. Hmm.. That sounds like a good idea to take over the world. (runs and begins to create his master plan for taking over the world.)

usmc210: If the defending civ was an evil civ, I seriously doubt any good civ would come to their aid. If they don't jump into the fray on the side of the aggressor (assuming the aggressor is another good civ), then they'd probably just let the two of 'em duke it out.

Thanks Spearthrower... We'll keep up being evil here.. and you guys keep building super secret spy rocks.

Anyways, don't count out the AI. Probably the best A.I. in any game. Seriously, sometimes I forget i'm playing againts a computer. Props to the programmers on the excellent work on the AI.

Wow. Contraband eggs. I hope you ate them deviled, you sinner.

haha I just find that bizarre.

WHAT?! I didn't know chicken and their eggs are illegal

heheh - not in most states.... only in the Hardcore religious ones. Pushkar is one of the main spiritual towns in India so they observe high levels of religious restraint. It's a really cool town actually if you can handle extreme vegetarianism! Actually, I think you could buy sheep there too.... I think everywhere in India sheep is allowed.
