	Queen of no land Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I haven't seen this "feature" mentioned by anyone, so I thought I'd bring it up. I'm currently playing a game as Germany. England used to be my next door neighbors.. until I decided to terminate them. After conquering their last city I expected to get the "civ destroyed" message, but that didn't happend. So, I thought, they have another city somewhere. I requested their world map and they complied. Problem is that they didn't have any cities left. I've also tried to plant a spy and establish embassy/spy on their civ, but nothing happens. No wonder since they have no cities. I know they have a frigate or two sailing around, and I only assume that they have a settler keeping them from being wiped out as a civilization.

Well, that was in 1600 and something. The date now is 1850. In the meantime the English have apparently been trading, they have some money and some tech. I also know that they've been involved in wars in that period. But how can a civ survive for 200 years (still counting) without a single city?? And don't tell me there's a city somewhere. I've checked it in every way possible. I guess they've adapted to life constantly at the high seas and are just sailing around looking for some free land to settle... )

Yep, maybe, if there is still a settler somewhere and the English have still some financial Reserves to supply him with Gold

Preheheheeh


Sad thing is, I won't know how it ends, 'cos I've installed the patch. So the game keeps crashing.

Hilarious scenario!

The same exact thing happened during my very first game. Only I was the French and the "phantom menace" was the Russians. All of their cities were destroyed, I had access to everyone's world map, and yet they survived right through the end of the game. Personally, I think it was just Catherine the Fat, shacking up with old Frederick of Germany. They look like they could be married, sort of a Fred and Ethel Murtz thing going on... .

...But that's another story.
