What Judges if a civ is split or not? Is it the number of cities they have when you take the capital? Government?------------------
Ah man! Ghandi! New game.

1) there must be less than 7 civs currently in the game;
2) the civ must be either the most powerful or just more powerful than you. I forget which, but I think it's the latter.------------------

hmmmm....I thought that the # of civs had nothing to do with it and the powergraph leader and/or population leader were the civs that could be split.???? |

Theben, you're right it's the second one.Smash, if there are 7 players in the game, then there is no space left for the "one" extra civ. Remember. I have experienced that splitting is very useful when dealing with powerful civs. But it's also an odd thing for Zulus to rebel against and depart from Germans. Yes, a very odd thing! :-) |

KA,
I remember a game back in civ1 where the mongols overran the Egyptians. I took my 2 chariots (those 4-1-2 monsters  ) and took the mongol capital, and the civ split into the mongols and the egyptians. Pretty accurate, I thought! The funny thing is Between me and the egyptians we overran the mongol empire, then the egyptians, being evil backstabbers, took my 2 mongol cities. So now instead of all egyptian/mongol cities being under control of the mongols, the egyptians had risen from the grave to reclaim their kingdom and the mongols! I had to laugh, until, of course, the Zulu battleships appeared off my coastline (!).------------------

They have to have a decent number of cities and you of course have to take their capitol. And course there have to be 6 or fewer civs. I very rarely have this happen. You pretty much have to take their capitol first which usually doesn't happen. The only useful time this happend was in the battle of the sexes scenario in best of net2 fantasic worlds expansion. I was out teched and my navy was getting decimated so I knew I had to hit their capitol and hope it caused massive disruption. I didn't expect a split. Usually no schizm is selected in scenarios. |

I just finished a Diety, Small World, random civs ( turned out to be just the 3 of us) and Raging Hordes. Just before I was about to lose to the French getting to AC in 2012, I took the capital. Had about 100 Howitzers and 5 spys to look around. When I took the French Capital, again and again, they split into Carthaganians, Aztecs, Sioux, Japanese and Romans. Making 7 civs in the game. Then I got the last French city, the Barbs took care of the Romans and Japanese which had only units and no cities, And in the next few years I got rid of the Carths, Aztecs, and Sioux, while upon the final split of French into French and Romans, I got the message that the French spaceship had been recalled. This of course got me off the loss in 2012, and gave me a few more years to turn it into a win for the Americans with a 199% rating.
Good Christmas to Everyone, and a Joyous New Century (I'm not about to touch the millenium thing.) |

Is it also restricted by difficulty level? I am wondering because the only time I have ever had a a new civ pop up is after completely destroying one. I even have gotten a warning a few times that if I took the capital of a civ it would split, I did, and it didn't. Anyone else have this problem?------------------
