My best was getting to the giant nuclear powered robots while 5/7 of my remaining opponents were still using spears and crossbows.

@Orion - Oh no, nothing you need to worry about. By now there is not much you can do anyway.

I remember using the level builder in Age Of Empires 2 to create these giant epic battle with two AI sides and watching them battle to the death.

I remember taking down the Great Wall of China using machine gun cars.

Oh, I got post # 355000. Do I win anything?

Civilisation 4, with the Next War addon.

Playing the middle ages scenario, I gave myself mechs and cyborg forces, which I called the Combine.

Hehehe.

That's pretty much a given if you play on easy like I do, espeically if you play as the Aztecs and have the whole continent to yourself. I mostly played in easy mode and treated it as a sandbox to see just how fast I can expand and get all the techs. Alpha Centuari by 0AD isn't actually that implausible, though I never played that far.

Talking about Civilization? Never played the game, though Colin has told me about it. He likes to joke how he gets high level technology in the 1800's (computers, rockets, etc). What I find funny is how he doesn't research refrigeration in favor of the science victory. So, while his men are being sent to another solar system, their food isn't kept cold.

@Roy: wait, does Equestria even do taxes?

@Orion: lol

It was closer to 2000, everyone else was terrible at getting their tech up.

The multiple nukes me and the AIs dropped didn't help anyone anyone much either.

Indeed it does. I checked some of the records and the amount of tax the nobilities and other upper class ponies pay are staggering.

#355012 Orion Aurora Sun, 7th Apr '13 6:38:41 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

@Crimson: Oh yes it is. How else do you think we get the funding to repair Ponyville for the umpteenth time?

I still need to figure out my stupid state taxes. Apparently I have to pay a penalty for last year as well but the penalty is 0.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do the Medical Corps of the Army hate Ponyville?

1800s? I hope he's talking about BC there, because otherwise, HAHA Slowpoke!

When the Equestrian Army have to come over to help Ponyville after its thousandth disaster, how loudly and how often do they bitch about it?

A free trip to Las Pegasus complete with discount round trip teleportation tickets, a three night stay in the lovely Veneightian hotel and casino, and 100 bits of free trotplay at all participating Stirrup locations.

Go easy on me, that just came out of my head and into my keyboard.

It seems that the concept of noblesse oblige is widespread among the 1% of Equestria.

However, I have uncovered rather fascinating routes some of them take to evade tax and appropriate them and other public resources.

According to the financial report by Natural Disaster Containment Department, its budget was cut significantly. This occured almost right before the 4th Tartarus Outbreak, one that was contained by Ms. Twilight Sparkle. Coincidence?

@roy: coincidence.

#355022 Orion Aurora Sun, 7th Apr '13 6:47:29 PM from Andromeda Galaxy

@Steve: It's part of their job. They know fully well what they are getting into. If the army is complaining, then they aren't making it noticeable.

#355024 d Roy Sun, 7th Apr '13 6:48:42 PM from Buffalo, New York

@crimson - Perchance. I'd tracked the budget reallocation, along with ones from other projects and departments.

They are certainly going to interesting places.
