[@incrediblyStupid678]

"Scouts can upgrade?" -- Venice

[@applemauzel]

Wait, if that is real, that'd be awesome, a bazooka with embarked defense and amphibious? XD

[@emptank]

And thus began the five thousand year long grudge between Greece and Rome, and it only got worse when Rome rushed the Hanging Gardens and finished it when Greece was only like two turns away from getting it. I mean who even does that? And now not only had Greece wasted like a dozen turns doing nothing but all they got out of it was like a couple of hundred gold. Talk about disappointing. In the old games you would've gotten to pick a minor building to get in like one turn instead but not any more. But Greece got even a few hundred years later when they 'rescued' a Roman worker from a barbarian and they totally didn't give it back. Ha! Then of course near the turn of the Common Era, Rome had rushed trebuchets and managed to steal Sparta from Greece in a dirty surprise attack. And they totally renamed it after a sex move too just really turn the knife while they were at it. And that war lasted for like the next fifteen hundred years or so. Then they both got nuked by Ghandi.

[@CHURCHISAWESUM]

I burned Persepolis to the ground when Darius did that shit.

[@PRubin-rh4sr]

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

+emptank 10/10 Vikings would pillage

[@ThePlayer920]

Reminds me of the time when I was playing as Germany and both Rome and Greece declared war on me at the same time, like 30-40 turns after the game just started... Of course they turned on each other after three turns and, long story short, I ended up owning about seven cities and wiping out two civilization before even entering the classical era. Best. Beginning. Ever.

[@allenholloway5109]

I really love it when I have an experienced Scout (read: heals while doing things) get turned into an Archer, because now I have an archer that can heal every turn, and more importantly, be upgraded into a really OP military unit.

Could be worse. They could haved killed the guy for EVIDENCE OF BARBARIAN ENCAMPMENTS THEY ALREADY FOUND. Also, hostile villages. I miss those in Civ IV. (Then again, scouts never get this)
