Ok.. I read everywhere that the use of nuclear weapons was frowned upon by the rest of the world.

Oddest thing happened though. I got ahold of some ICBMs so I saved the game and bombed the crap out of Washington JUST to see what would happen.

Here's the odd thing. The Byzantines who were 'Furious' with me thought nothing of it. The Mayans of whom I'd been trading with and were 'Polite' to me declared war on me.

Thoughts?

Edit: They (The Mayans) nuked the heck outta one of my cities. For some reason, I can't build ICBMs anymore. I still have access to uranium. What am I missing?

I just wanted to add that I learned a dirty trick from the AI. Nuke the heck out of their resource and they won't have access to it for a while.  That's what the Mayans did to me.  Nuked my aluminum. Well.. in retaliation, I nuked THEIR aluminum AND their oil.

Anyone have any ideas about my original question about why they declared war on me when they were my friends for centuries?

This is the civ3 forum, ontrial

About the Mayans... well, they're the AI. They're stupid. They also see things through a formula. My guess is that they were large enough to actually do something about you being a bad boy, while the Byzantines might have been too small to do anything, and thus decided not to bother.

Did I mention that the AI is stupid? That might be it too.

Emulator of Otto von Bismarck, Master of realpolitik, May he rest in peace.

But the liberals should be careful of screaming too loud ... of conspiring too well ... of undermining us too thoroughly. Because if they succeed, if they do get what they insist they want, then the result may well be something they never conceived ... "They have made a desolation, and they call it peace." ~Tacitus~ ... but a peace controlled by our former enemies.

Did they have a Mutual Protection Pact?

Ok...so I know the answer to your question.  Well...it's only a guess lol, but here it goes.  So you nuked the crap out of Washignton.  Maybe the Mayans were Washignton's best friend or something like that and maybe the Byzitanians hated him lol.  That is why the Mayans reacted the way they did.

This is also something I just noticed in cIV.  When you mouse over a leader's score or his face in the diplomacy menu, you can see who their best friend is and who they are the worst enemy of.

Anyway, it's only a gues...

No.. I checked that before I did it. However, there's the possibility that I interrupted their trade and it's also possible that the Byzantines weren't friends with them.

That makes sense.

The Mayans won't be trading with anyone soon.. I've wiped them off the board.

A few things I've noticed. I set my win goal WAY too high. I set it for 86% domination of the planet. I have a HUGE chunk of the world, yet it's only over 50%. I was done about 5% ago.

On an amusing note.. The Mayans begged for mercy with only 6 cities left. Just to see what would happen, I asked them for their cities to get the peace treaty.. They agreed! All of 'em but the capital.

Sooooooooo.. I set up.. and took the capital.

Now I'm gearing up to wipe the Americans off the planet.  But.. to be honest.. I'm ready to call it a win and move on.
