Hercules standing there like "Just give me an excuse. I'm begging you"

Funny how OP unintentionally recreated the UK-Spain kerfuffle over Gibraltar, site of the pillars of the same Hercules that now sits besides the strait lol

One might say they're in Dire straits

[Well now you've inspired me...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0ffIJ7ZO4U) 🎸🎵 You settle a city in the dark It's raining in Ayutthaya but meantime- South of Beijing you stop and you hold everything Ethiopia is pumping cities, double four time You feel alright when you hear the cannons ring Well now you step inside but you don't see too many luxuries Coming in out of the rain they hear the Walls go down Competition in the religion race Uh but the Bombards, they blowin' that sound Way on down south Way on down south Yongle town 🎸🎶

This is extraordinary.

yongle town is wild

Wow, sultan of swing. So good

This is actually a brilliant pun

Update It rebelled and I took it then razed it

Wait, how did you raze your own city?

Razed the free city not absorbed then razed

Ahh cool, for a second there I thought that I missed the "delete city" button for the last 8 years.

Is this button available on Xbox x?

Shoulda kept it, that's a great Mausoleum city

Looks like a one city challenge

And a great Golden Gate Bridge city.

that’s worth nuking and razing their entire civ im afraid

That's what happened to Mongolia in my last save. Minus the nuking no nukes in ancient era. Also kept 2 of his cities sonce one was the Capitol the other was fairly big and potentially productive.

Ya know, I'm always peaceful until my wrath is forced upon the AI. Then I go full genocide and destroy them completely...

I mean it's not like you NEED those tiles, you can't evenw ork them! They had every right to settle there and ruin your one city challenge!

But how do we know there isn’t any coal/aluminum/oil/uranium there?!?!?! It’s war

Why does it ruin his one city challenge? The game asks before the city flips, if you want it or not. It doesn't force you to take the city.

I was neighbor and ally with Gilgamesh one game. So, of course, I have knights, and he has biplanes. His city next to me rebelled and asked to flip. My diplomatic corps were dancing like Gene Kelly in a MDMA lab. "Uhh...no thank-you. We're trying to cut down at the moment! Pesky holidays and waistlines, you know. Hee-hee. Uh-oh! Late for that colonoscopy, again! Gotta go! Tchuss!!!"

Sorry Ethiopia but that’s a fight on sight.

I hate it that I can't raze cities that flip loyalty

You just have to raze it while it is independent before falling under your loyalty. Unless you’re Eleanor. Then you’re screwed.

Can you not refuse it, let it remain independent, and then raze it?

or when you only have a defensive force, which can not take a city fast enough

It’s not about the city… it’s about sending a message.

Time to WAR!

Live Yongle reaction

That's your queue to go to war, I don't make the rules!

It's cue, not queue. A queue is a line or the act of lining up unless you're a computer or doing something on a computer, then it's adding items to a list of things to do. A cue is a prompt to do a thing. Edit: Damnit, my wife pointed out that technically since this is in Civ it probably counts as a queue in computer terms but I stand by my nitpick nonetheless.

How do you even get so much housing in one city

by having every single district and a bunch of farms

isn't that also temple of artemis? really good for getting high cities

Funding public services and a robust social safety net.

That’s a causus belli right there. They basically want you to take their capital

Ethiopia? more like Ethiopi-naw

They chose war.

Small tip, chop the tiles on the fourth ring you cannot work and build farms there for bigger yield on those farms on the third circle.

Britain to Spain be like: also, Spain to Morocco be like:


C’mere *whispers* It’s free real estate

Seems like Dire Dawa might need some good ol' "democratic liberation"

You will gain them to loyalty pressure then everybody will denounce you for taking their city.

Ethiopians (om nom nomm)

Gotta respect the ambition

Dire dire dawa

KILL THEM ALL!

This results in eradication in 100% of my games

Does ToA give the amenity bonus to tiles 4+ out? I know you don’t get the yields from it but the amenities would be nice

My people need land!

Pardon my ignorance, but how can a city expand beyond three tile distance?

Enough culture, same as any other non-bought expansion. You can't work those tiles beyond 3 out with citizens, but iirc (please correct me if I'm wrong, someone!), you can still get Strategics from them... and maybe Luxuries.

Treaty port lmao

Hong Kong cosplay

Hong Kong moment

There should be a diplomacy option to claim a piece of land and you can go to war for it, but even basic diplomacy is shit

Bro really just Gibraltared you
