Sometimes things happen in Civ that would be rather unlikely to happen in reality: today I dropped nuclear missiles on all of an enemy's cities and occupied them - the moment I did, they all began celebrating "We Love the President" Day...
"Hooray! Hooray! Three cheers for the man who just reduced our town to radioactive rubble!"
Any more?

Another good one is turning everyone into an entertainer, so there's no food - the citizens are overjoyed that they're all starving.

Also, how 'bout them horsemen charging right into the gun barrels of tanks?
|
During World War I, this sort of thing did happen occasionally. Usually, it was horsemen charging machine gun posts, but once or twice some idiot of a commander ordered a cavalry charge against a tank.

Can you see, in Real Life, a civilization being allied with another one year, break the alliance and declare war the next year, and being bought off by their original allies the third year?
|
I do not know of this entire sequence occurring, but during World War II, the Germans and the Soviet Union were allied for their invasion of Poland. The alliance lasted for less than a year before Germany invaded the Soviet-occupied portion of Poland, and from there tried to conquer the Soviets.

They had that kind of stupidity back during the later Middle Ages in Europe, but I was thinking, what kind of country can risk that in the nuclear age?
...hmmm...scratch that...we got away with quite a lot...
How 'bout them legions lining up in battle formation to charge a battle ship stuck in port...dented swords anyone?

How about the fact that you must defend every city with a military unit or it will be easily taken over by another country.
O gee the French just captured Cincinnati.

how about these:
a USA or UK or Japanese (or ...) yacht goes faster than a Norwegian yacht because US/UK/Japan have nuclear power and Norway doesn't
the ancient egyptians have been working for decades on their pyramide and when it's almost finished, the pharao decides that he want's a big bronze statue in stead and poof, all the stones miraculasly become bronze

Question for Miner
What is the source material for your statement? I have read vast amounts of material on the sep 39 campaign and have never came accross such a reference. However
i have read accounts by an italian war corrospondent that claimed the exact same thing. Alas never with any proof.
http://mops.uci.agh.edu.pl/~rzepinsk/1939/html/cav.htm
Wishing to increase my knowledge. Thanks
