The Zulu declared war again, as did the Indians and the Native Americans. (I was particuarly upset with them – I’d been the only civilization prepared to give them anything for centuries and had always refused when other civs told me to stop trading with them.) Anyway, though I’d built up my forces, I hadn’t

Bloody Zulu and their Indian lapdogs. You see all those cities in Zulu territory to the west of my land? They used to be mine. Okay, so I left them almost completely undefended, but that’s because I was keeping all my neighbours happy. Was working well until the Zulu decided I was too close for

I did it! I won a game on King difficulty! Look! I actually only came third in terms of points, but I got to Alpha Centauri, so I won. I was the Americans and lucked out, having a reasonably large area to expand into at the start. My only land border was with the French.

So, I’ve tried three games on King difficulty, one level up from the difficulty I was playing on before. The first game I survived to the end with a tiny wee empire of three cities, but came last. The second game, I started a very early war with the Egyptians, which turned out to be

Finished my game as the Chinese at lunchtime. I’d been a Democracy for millennia by the end of the game, but the final capital city was so close and so tempting that I changed to Fundamentalism just so I could storm in with my Ninja Tank Army (who’d roamed around the world and conquered it

I got my least favourite starting position – a fairly small island. That means that to expand, I need

Here’s a list of ten games to play during this month. They won’t be the ten best iPhone games – any list without Angry Birds, Doom and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is not a list of the greatest iPhone games – but they’ll be selected based on a mix of quality, novelty and relevance

Last time I posted I was trying to press home my technological advantage over the other civilizations by shooting them dead with lead while they came at me with swords and arrows. Well, it worked and I won a domination victory with ease. Next up, I started as the Mongols and got into a very

Everybody hates me. Demands flying in every turn demanding tribute. I’m ignoring them all, however, as I am the only civilization who current have tanks. Come to that, I’ve not even seen any other riflemen. I’m trying to take as many cities as possible while I still have the advantage, it probably won’t last long.

It’s been a long time since I played this. I’m not sure why, to be honest. I think about playing it several times a week, but I just don’t start a game. Maybe it’s because I’m scared of it. And maybe I’m right to be. I mean, I started a game as the Zulu last
