My latest Civ5 game...
... gave me trust issues and turned me into a God of Vengeance. Had a nice little triumvirate going, until my closest friend turned on my other friend, then on me to sate his expansionist hunger after millennia of peace. He eradicated the other (except for a lone, forlorn colony somewhere in the middle of nowhere, which he took some time later anyway) and almost took a city from me. It still had about 10% HP left when my newly produced battleships turned up and stomped his ground troops from 3 spaces away. Then he had the audacity to offer a peace treaty that would have given him half my empire. I declined and in turn decimated his fighting strength (about doubly mine) to a quarter of what he'd had the time before the war and took the same amount of cities he had wanted from me by force - dumbass mostly had harbor cities. Took to Autocracy like a fish to water and now I have enough votes in the UN to force my proposal through and refuse the other one because my military might has gained me the alliance of all city states. By now, all other players are embargoed; my former closest friend has lost his capital by now (nuked the shit out of it); the other friend was resurrected and vegetates in his pisspoor colony (won it in the peace agreement and felt generous - and how does he thank me for it? By being afraid and guarded, the ungrateful bum); my army is marching on the second to last enemy capital still in its original owner's hands (she'll get what she deserves- no one denounces me and goes unpunished). ... Civ5 is not good for me.
