(Fortunately I had a second civ in that game. That one survived a bit longer.

3 seconds. Saw 5 tiles of coast, 5 tiles of sea, and 6 tiles of tundra (and a few forests).

Shortest complete game is something like 15 minutes. (Defeat via Conquest) Played an expansionstic civ on a tiny map, the nearest neighbor was much closer than expected and they sneak attacked my capital before I completed my first military unit.

5 turns; I set the options to a few VP, and the AI got them in 5 turns.

At the start. Underfoot two year old son hit the power strip. (after spending two hours reloading to get a decent starting position )

does this count restarts when you have a shitty starting position?

Actually I rarely do that, unless the position is truelly horrid.

I like to play through adversity. My last game I had no iron, despite having a huge friggin land mass. I had to go to war, and create a chain of cities south to secure iron. So basically my iron city was surrounded on 3 sides by other AI's. I had to build up culture improvements to make sure it didn't flip, and defend it well, because it was in a vulnerable defensive position.

But that's not the end of it. I couldn't build Hoover Dam because I didn't have a city on a river (no rivers at all in my territory). So I extended from my iron city even further south (through warfare), and used a scientific great leader to build the hoover dam (otherwise it would have taken 400 turns ). This city was really vulnerable. I put a massive number of defensive (and offensive units) there. I still almost lost it- though I could have taken it back. But the AI moved his 2 mega stacks of doom north towards my main empire and disregarded my city with the hoover dam in it.

1 turn.

I moved my settler 1 hex to find a better starting spot.

A volcano let loose and the settler died.

Truthfully, this happened. I wish that I had saved a screenshot.

Mine was a plain Civ3 game. I played as Iroquois and had just sent a couple of scouts from my first city. Then I built a warrior as garrison, and after this I started a settler. It was not even 3000BC yet, when a German elite archer (must have popped a hut with barbarians) showed up, beelined to my capital and finished me off. Game over. I'd say, not even 10 minutes. And there was nothing I could do.

Are you asking as a win or as a loss?

How can you let your only city in the condition of being destroyed after 3 turns?

What can I say?

Because I suck.

ahhhh a great sword fight that


and then revenge came through the habds of another player in the Shengoku Revisited.. My Daiymo took on another players, and I went down bad. Yeah about turn 6.

Oh I did not have another civ in that game

Lots of fun either way.

Great sword fights in that scenario and the ninja kick some butt

my favourite move from this scenario that took place recently was to attack a stack of 17 units with a few ninja, this allows me to target the Daiymo, taking him out, and seeing t6hat players entire civ, and unit stacks crumble before me

I remember just the one. It was back during the Vanilla days... I started a small map game where I was an expansionist civ (Russia?) and there just due east was the Babalonians, IIRC, at that time I was producing NOTHING more than settlers and workers (naive I realize now) and ... of course... the AI just couldnt help but take advantage by sending archers and horsemen into my 5-6? cities. They all fell silently and tragically.. I must say.. it was the worst game I've ever played, but I learned so much from it that it was worth playing the 15-20 minutes of it.
