Which Civilization Irritates You? Increase Your PM Length

Preferrably one outside of your culture.
That is to say; if you're Japanese, the Chinese and Indian are going to be by you; so either accept them or play as another Civ.

So which different cultured Civ irritates you?

For me, I have been playing as Japanese or Chinese and I absolutely loathe the lying French.

Xerxes is always stabbing me in the back. I mean always.
No matter how big we are, what civilization I'm playing.
In almost every game the persians betray me.
I have no idea why.

And you people are usually playing different Civs every time? Not one that has Persia in the culture, for instance?
I agree though, about Persia. Not a lot of experience with Greece.

Nearly every game I've been next to the Americans, they've sneak-attacked me. So in the game, the Americans tick me off.

The Iroquois are much the same. They've sneak attacked me on many occasions as well (quite devastating since their Mounted Warrior carves up).

The Greeks have also been known to sneak attack me (and even declared war once when I was much more powerful, and demanded them to withdraw from my territory). They did however, provide very little resistance, and were quickly reduced to a three tundra town sized civilization.

The English just tick me off for no particular reason (I've yet to experience any sneak attacks from them). Egypt are much the same (unless of course I'm using them).

India are masters at backstabbing. They are however, not masters at fighting the war after their initial strike.

I guess that leaves Persia as the one who ticks me off most. Once, they entered my territory with two stacks of riflemen and Infantry that took five minutes each to move. They have backstabbed me every game. Difficult to fight them in the ancient era because their immortals are nearly unstoppable. Hard for me to fight them later because they build a HUGE military.

Right, I forgot about the Persians. That Xerxes is a notorious backstabber. In my last game he invaded me with over 100 infantry/cavalry at a time. Thank God for modern armors and armies...

The Greeks. I used to hate Bismarck... well, I suppose I still do, but nowadays I beat him to the punch. Now I'M the crazy warmongering bastard. But Greece poses serious problems for my early forces. Therefore, I have to play nice with them until I have my Samurai.

Honorable mention to the Zulu and their (*#&%@#ing Impi.

Germans. Their production bonus with quickly built barracks spells trouble early on. But woe unto you if you don't destroy them before the modern age... They will introduce you to the meaning of the word 'Blitzkrieg' with those d@mn panzers. And it seems Bismarck is always scowling at me no matter what, and ready to invade at a moment's notice.

Yeah if the germs are next to me I make it a priority to take them out first. Trust me...you DO NOT want a German golden age combined with Panzers, a production bonus, and troops that quickly become elite with that militarist trait.

India, for being so peaceful they have a rather large army that they love to use to invade me. Also Persia, they invade me even when they have no army. they'll just send one unit to attack one of my cities and then sue for peace a few turns later. Finally the Aztecs, they don't inveade that often and usually keep to themselves but when whatshisname talks he says stupid things and when you pis$ him off he gets really ugly!!!
Thats another thing I can't stand that the so called "angry" faces that look like they just got the crap kicked out of them after being shot up with novacaine. t

Yes, the Romans are sneakin' b1tch3s too! I tried one of the strats here I think by Vel or Arrian where you make every Civ polite/gracious towards you while you mass your troops to destroy one civ.

While I was placing all the troops I could muster at the other end of my empire to attack the aztecs the romans moved into the other end to attack me and take two of my cities. Talk about AI.

Yeah the Romans like that back door; don't drop the soap around them.

Too bad this wasn't a multi-check poll... most people have 2 or three nemeses. I would add Persians and Zulus to my list. The Zulus because they're always demanding something, then declaring war on me. And the Persians always seem to be on the other side of the globe, unchecked, getting huge. With their science advantage they're usually rivaling me for new techs and whoring them out to everyone except me.

lol, I didn't know that at that time. They were polite towards me and we were trading so I didn't think they were going to attack me. They were also the superpower at that time so I made sure they were happy.

In the end, I enlisted the help of the germans, the russians, and the greeks to reduces the romans to rubles. I then turned on the greeks with the help of the russians germans and russians. I won the game by domanition which is the lamest way to win. NO MINI MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!
