Actually my favorite Civ strat is as follows:

* Choose Stalin for industrialism
* Build cities on a isolated island far away from the mainland
*Collect capital by the thousands


Since it'll be ages before I ever meet another civilization much less for them to build up a huge fleet to become a threat to my civilization I can build up on research and culture/economics

With that being done I can progress 10x faster through the ages and pool up all those resources so I can be well into the industrial age while they're still messing around the middle ages.

So I go about building all these wonders and getting all this technology and the first sign of foreign intrusion by sea I pool a good chunk of my capital into blockades and build mechanized units like tanks on my main city.

When they finally do get pissed at me and try to run rampant on my civilization with musketmen and galleys I'm all ballin' on their ass with infantry and tanks while continuing to crush them culturally and economically.

Basically I call it the "One man is his own island" approach to victory <3

I was completely indifferent to this thread with 0% chance of posting a reply... untill the civilisation talk began!!

If only the great wall hadn't been made obsolete by engineering... then we would all have had to make peace with them >.<

I spend a lot of my earlier game chop rushing Settlers, and then spamming Praetorians and Catapults before they're obsolete, killing as much of the competition as possible. It works against most players, and it works on Deity. If I'm not playing Rome, I tend to prefer cultural victories. I really love getting four great artists on a border and popping them all at the same time and instantly flipping the cities nearby. When that gets expensive I look around at who hates each other, and hand the cities to their worst enemy so I can get them to declare war on them, if they declare war on me.

However, instead of wasting your time on a search for something I didnt say, we can cover your lame topic.
Everyone in the military has to go thru a basic training, Marines is a bit tougher I think than the others. However, a "programming class" Marine I'm sure didn't go to SOI or any other advanced combat training. So that may perhaps be the dividing line between perhaps....
Eh, again. As much as I wish Marines and Soldiers were invincible I know they are not. If they were I wouldn't have lost as many friends as I have.
Nor is it a goal of military personel to go beat people up at bars, but just as any specialized training, it does go to some peoples head. So I have no doubt you found some Marines talking shit in a bar. lol
He's a pro at this. He's so deep in his own bullshit he believes the shit he makes up to use as insults.

Try my island approach bro, they only declare war when you piss em off and that's usually after they met you, and since you're way out of their reach for a few ages you can build freely and not waste precious resource/turns building inferior units.

Woodrow Wilson was right about Isolationist policies, when you only rely on yourself fuck the world

Whenever i astound people with random segments of totally esoteric knowledge and get asked about the source... my only answer is "civilopedia". They should charge extra for it, it's that useful!

The sad part is, I bet you do that shit all the time. Only there was an actual combat medic in the thread who called you on your shit. You got outed and looked like a total bitch.

Instead of manning up and admitting you're full of shit, you called the combat medic vet who outed you a "vagina," a "pussy," and a "military-hater."

Yes, that's right. Finawin, who has never been within 10,000 miles of a combat zone in his entire miserable life, called a combat medic vet who was offended by Finawin's lies about being in combat a "military hater."

That about sums the whole incident up.

Again, anyone who doubts anything in this post can go read the thread themselves.

Nice try though, retard.
This was pretty win. I like how that Harrison dude completely shut up.

I was supporting you expressing your rights to speak. Don't piss on me.

And yes, there are people from WWII still alive. If they didn't fight then we would all be living in Nazi Germany.(Maybe) Many others fight today against terrorists, who, if they would have won any ground against us, would kill us all, thus taking our freedom of speech.
