      Couple of people have asked me about this considering Pakistan doesn’t feature in the Civilisation games. Simple answer is to play the Earth map and have India as a rival civilisation, then simply nuke the Indian city that occupies Pakistan’s geography.https://twitter.com/moldbugman/status/1170374581959315456 …

      Any time I play Civilisation, I always ignore the Win conditions and just build a nuke to drop on Pakistan at the earliest opportunity.

      There’s actually a good strategic reason for doing this. As any experienced Civ player knows, Gandhi is an utter cunt and is trigger happy when it comes to nukes. He must be wiped out as early as possible.pic.twitter.com/5yTzh9a9il

      Even as far back as Civ 1, Gandhi and the Indians were insatiable bloodthirsty warlords despite their “peaceful” moniker. India was grey coloured - same as the Mongols - not a coincidence. Gandhi even starts off Civ 1 with Mongol advisors.pic.twitter.com/Ghgidw5f9R

      There’s a reason for this which I discovered. India is set as the most peaceful civilisation with an aggressiveness attribute of 1. However when a civ converts to Democracy the aggressiveness attribute suffers a -2 penalty.pic.twitter.com/apVtFlzJZj

      This means that Gandhi’s aggressiveness attribute subtracts 2 from the initial 1 and due to a bug swings back around to the maximum aggressiveness level of 255 - the highest possible aggression level!pic.twitter.com/uZPhzhyo1g

      This bug was later fixed in the later games, but the developers kept in Gandhi’s nuclear bloodlust as an Easter egg homage, meaning that he’s still happy to nuke your ass and so must be eliminated as swiftly as possible. He has the max rating of 12 in likelihood to drop nukes.pic.twitter.com/NfCExunRmf

          Since I always play as the Romans, the Indians are not so far away, meaning that I genuinely do try to wipe out their cities in the Pakistan region to safeguard my reach into continental Asia.pic.twitter.com/I9vOugf7Aa

          It seems to me that the moral of the story taught by Civilisation is that allowing India to become a democracy is detrimental to world peace and they MUST either revert back to a Theocracy/Monarchy or the rest of the world must unite to preemptively destroy them completely.pic.twitter.com/KLANYO6RhA
