Watching this video reminded me: A friend of mine pulled off a Spiff-level exploit in Civilization III - the all-worker army. Never built a military unit except the first warrior unit. Spent the rest of the game building workers and settlers. When war was inevitably declared against him, he had massive carpets of workers, who basically got captured until the enemy got tired or distracted by another AI war. In the same game, he had a world-spanning war which lasted over 4000 years over his refusal to hand over 17 gold pieces in the ancient era. It was hilarious.

Damage to bouildings counts also to the citisens rebuilding them. Sure you can stop the rebuilding at just the right moment, but if there are lets say 3 siege weapons that fire at slightly different time, the villagers can't do much and either they die or the castle falls. Also I don't know how you can afford so much gold and iron for this build, especially if you play against a high difficulty AI you basically get sieged with an evergrowing army between the 10 and 15 minute mark. At that point I could always afford only 1 castle (already built) and the units I steal always get instakilled and replaced to the point that it's easyly more effective to just build my own army. I once tried to build my city right next to my opponent's borders and it was swarming with enemy troops shortly after, cus I lost production time while transfering my villagers and the AI just built out of tower range.

@posterus4413

For those curious, the mods extends the play time of a game by increasing the price of everything (though civilians don't increase in price the more you build), re-balances all of the factions and changing up what bonuses each faction gets, and add new units and new buildings in addition to new unique new for every faction, so that every faction has at least 7 unique units. I forget if the mod does this or if the base game does this, but some of the same units between different factions do look different. Like the Greek hoplites look different than the Aztec hoplites. Some factions still look similar.

The three of them held off the front and kept harassing the opposing team both front and their 4th rear player. This prevented them from having the ability and time to create nukes. I spent the entire match just building towards nukes and built multiple nuclear sites. The end game came when I launched all the nukes I had shy of 1 from nuclear Armageddon and just annihilated nearly all of them so the rest of my team could go and mop up the remains.
