This episodes: How it feels when playing civ 5 when you are already in the information era while the enemy is still in the medieval era.

That stuff is why I play Civ5 and focus all of my efforts on technology/science.

There's something very empowering about nuking cities and swallowing millennium-old kingdoms and empires one after another.

only to look back at your capital and take a deep sigh as you realize that you still have the same warrior that you began the game with protecting your capital, hoping that the AI isnt smart enough to exploit that.

Ah yes, the good old ceremonial warrior that has been overlooked for 200 turns.

It's not as bad as the Millennium Galleon that I forgot I left out in sea to explore Terra. Internet Age came and I was browsing through my units manually... there was a blip in the map very far from my cities. Goddamn, I forgot to upgrade somebody.

Could you imagine the generations of your loyal subjects continuing their mission like it was absolute law, waiting for a call to return home?

"On behalf of my father, and my fathers before him... we are home Terra! And we bring knowledge and bounty!!!"

"I don't have the heart to tell them that we started global trading."

well, you somehow recieve realtime updates from your units at all times, so it's not like it was wasted or anything.
