So today I lost a very dear colony to me in South America. They were strong. They were cultured and they were the hope for the future of a better Roman South America. My hopes and dreams were shattered as Barbarian states came and destroyed the colony. I tried my best to make transatlantic flights and sending of my armies to aid the ailing state. But my efforts were to no avail and I lost dear Caesaugusta. I have never experienced such hate in this game we call Civilization nor such cruelty. From these ashes I have decided to rise and make the world a better place by conquering these weak states that have fostered these barbaric creatures. I will lead them to the right way of living. My far superior technology and empire, though not the largest, far surpasses anything else in that world. And like Alexander the Great, I will sweep across the continent and take over the world! My plan has carefully been devised beginning with all efforts in the major city centers, whose growth has reached a plateau, aimed towards military development. Once my armies have been raised I will first attack the neighboring and weakest empire, the Greek empire lead by none other than Alexander the Great.
Through studying the major empires of history, even present ones, one thing that they all seemed to do wrong was focus on what the other countries and leaders were accomplishing as opposed to what the people needed. I maintained amicable relations with all the empires that I came in contact with. War never arose from our ancient beginnings to our modern ends. Rome was able to gain the trust of the other world leaders, culminating in a Diplomatic Victory. All these nations voted Rome to be the Diplomatic leader of the world. Not only does that give more “unreal” power to this empire, but it also articulates that the other nations are not good enough to be role models for the world. This clearly presents an issue among nations, one I believe could lead to war in my little Utopia. But peace will be restored and equality will return, after I conquer the world.

I'm commenting in response to the comment you left on my blog. I'm putting it here in hopes that you actually see it. :) I find that location does matter. I always place my civilization near water, so I can build a naval military and an army. Also, water often adds to the healthiness of the city because you can build aqueducts. I very rarely get attacked, but I like to have a strong military just in case. I get paranoid; it's a personal choice, I think. If you don't get attacked, I'd say the military would be extra baggage, but I like to have it around just in case! I'll place the military units at the border and click the icon that says "Zzz," which just hides them away until they're needed. I used your advice about culture, though, and it really helped me out, so thanks!!
