Here's my story of why Pacal is an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Start the game as Germany, on Marathon, I'm in this for the long run
After a few turns, descover my closest civs - America, Rome and the Mayans
By the medieval era I've established myself as the leading force in the world
I have fought off an attempted invasion from America and Rome with my closest ally, the Mayans
The Mayans have a defence pact with me and we're helping each other flourish
As soon as I can cross oceans, I discover the civs on the other continant: Japan, Babylon, England and Persia
I'm very deep into the game at this point, I've spent many hours into it and I'm committed
Babylon declares war on me and it's allies (apparantly most of the civs in the game) also declare war
This is a total world war, me and the Mayans are very outnumbered while America and Rome stay neutral
It looks like we're going to lose, but the America and Rome join the frey and soak up much of the enemy forces
They're devastated, but we've won the war and we're ready to counterattack
While America and Rome recover, me and the Mayans launch an invasion across the ocean
We're bigger than them, they only had the upper hand due to combined numbers
Together, we wipe out Japan and Babylon, Persia and England are left like they left America and Rome - crippled
Peace is made across the map, me and the Mayans have been through a lot together and we're the closest of allies
Fast forward many many years of peace and I'm almost finished building the spaceship to win a science victory
All the pieces are in my capital, and only one more booster needs to be installed
The extended peace has left me ignorant and unobservant, I've focused too much on my civ only
The booster is right next to my capital, it will be installed the very next turn, I'm impossibly close to winning
"Pacal has won by science victory"
...
I watch as his spaceship fly from his capital of Palenque
I'm in silence, he's pulled my long awaited victory from under me
...
...
Fast forward a couple years and his entire territory has been nuked to oblivion and filled with Giant Death Robots
I raise his capital to the ground with a tear in my eye as I look up in spite to the night sky

10/10, took away my soul
