Let`s all just attack him. Who cares that he`s a good, friendly, neighbour? We don`t.

I was trying so hard to build a peaceful civ early. I had the minimum needed troops to save money without going into the red. I fast built 4 cities. I did my best to be friendly with EVERYONE I met, agreeing to all Friendships etc and getting into NO wars for anyone. I even promised not to expand into her area when China asked- and kept it.

But oh no, the first Civ I met, Sweden decided I was still weak enough to attack. It weakened my forces in the ensuing war. Then China (who almost never attacked me previous games) decided I was game too and attacked unprovoked. This busted me and I lost 3 cities quickly. Then they ran out of steam and just as I thought I might have a chance to lick my wounds, The Mayans attacked (unprovoked again) and went for my final city mercillessly.

I was cusring and swearing. I wanted to visit all those Leaders and swear into their faces, just because they were being gits. All these attacks were completely unprovoked and just the AI slicing me up as part of `Eat Mr. Socratatus pie`. the fact that my people were the happiest ever seemed just insult to injury. Why are they happy? We`re on the edge of extinction for Heaven`s sake!:rolleyes:

Finally my last city was wiped out. :mad: I guess you really don`t have a chance if you don`t have a strong military first.

Forget peace. Next time I become a military dictatership!
