Well this wasn't multiplayer, it was during the "take over the world" campaign against the comps. Anyway, at one point I managed to take out two capitals and I got a ton of tribute points for it. Well I knew which nation I wanted to take out next, but I wasn't at war with him yet. So I ended up buying like 6 territories in a row of us all the way up to his capital, and slowly moving my armies across, until I was next door and attacked
In one of my first games, the comp launched a raid on one of my farming villiages. I had just researched militia, and used it for the first time. It looked like all my farmers ducked down and picked up rifles from the wheat fields and fended off the attack. I was laughing so hard thinking, "Damn hicks with their guns!"
