In my first game outside of the tutorial, one of the first civilizations I encountered was India, led by none other than Ghandi. Though we got along fairly well in the early- to mid-game, I knew of his reputation in past Civilization titles as a frighteningly fast aggressor who would not hesitate to nuke me if I angered him sufficiently. Thus, I resolved to beat him to it. Locking my tech sights on nuclear fission and fusion well in advance, I took great strides in accrlerating my scientific developments. Even through all of this, Ghandi and I remained friends... until the war with Russia. I had declared war on Russia on behalf of Japan, another ally of mine. Though Ghandi was supportive at first, as the war drew on, he grew distant, along with the rest of the world. It wasn't long before I was labeled a warmonger, and I knew there was no going back. As I nuked Russia's last bastion and razed it from the face of the earth, I knew that one way or another, this would end in blood. Multiple nations declared war on me for my warmongering, though most quickly backed down. Others did not. Scythia's lone city was erased in a surprise nuclear strike, followed by Norway after a foolish declaration of war by their archaic forces. Once these conflicts were done, my soldiers returned home, and I began to hope that I could perhaps salvage a peaceful victory. But it was not to be. Ghandi and the rest of the world still despised me, though I know not whether it was for my seemingly endless state of war, or the nuclear stockpile that I had begun constructing during the conflict with Russia and never bothered to stop. As turn 500 drew near, I noticed something... interesting. Between nuclear and thermonuclear bombs, I had a total of nine weapons of mass destruction at my disposal, with a tenth due to be finished on turn 498. At that point, India had exactly ten cities, all within nuking distance. It was then that I resolved to have my last hurrah. When the tenth bomb was completed, I set about unleashing my entire arsenal on Ghandi's nuke-happy head, starting with his capital. A mere turn later, Delhi was mine, and another turn after that, every last city of the Indian empire had been reduced to ash by nuclear fire. I didn't bother conquering the rest. I didn't need to. For turn 500 had come at last, and the highest score was mine to hold.

10/10, would nuke Ghandi again.
