Civilization (video game)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Although a very late game occurrence, as soon as you get the Giant Death Robot and sufficient uranium in V, opposing armies are essentially completely and totally ''fucked'', especially if you combine them with Stealth Bombers. The combat penalty against cities is all well and good, but even with that a percentage off of a 150 combat strength is all but irrelevant, especially if you happen across a civ that's still playing with swords and musketmen (and there's always one). It's entirely possible to blitzkrieg your way across about 10 cities in a few turns if you're canny about placement.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Spearman beats Tank."<ref>A very annoying phenomenon in all the games, but most noticed in ''III'', is for supposedly obsolete units to get very lucky with the Random Number Generator and survive wave after wave of technologically superior units.</ref>

*** A sub-meme of which is when [http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8500/civ1.jpg Gandhi] threatens you with them.

**** Even funnier (or scarier) when you realize that India is one of the few countries that have an active nuclear weapons program.

** "Never trust an Aztec with nukes!" As discussed [http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=22109 here], this one probably dates back all the way to the BBS days. <ref>The Aztecs have, in every game, been a very aggressive civilization who will seemingly use nuclear weapons at the first provocation, or even without any warning whatsoever.</ref>

*** Civ V: "Montezuma's peace theme doesn't actually play in-game."
