This might not be the first thread of its kind, but...
Which AI do you find most annoying in general?
For me it's a toss up between Alexander and Augustus, with Washington close on their heels for third place.
Alexander acts like such a pissy brat, the lines Firaxis game him to say do not help, his spontaneous declarations of war and hyper-aggressive behavior make him the schoolyard bully of this game. Plus he kinda looks like Ken from the Barbie line.
Augustus has backstabbed me so many times it puts Brutus to shame. First he declares war on me when I'm engaged against someone else (most likely Alexander) and when I finally manage to beat back his offensive he goes all "Friendly" and falls over himself offering Declarations of Friendship. The declaration is signed, and as soon as I get into another war he again attacks me on the other side of the map. I just cannot trust him with anything and I am forced to exterminate him despite my usually peaceful playstyle. A true master of reinterpreting supposed friendships.
As for Washington, it's always the same story. I'm off picking cotton in my small peaceful empire and he shows up and states "Your wanton aggression leaves me no choice..." and then attacks me in an expansionist frenzy. Kinda like real life? (jk )
I also get really ticked off when any AI starts bringing a settler close to my empire, and I'm like "Don't you it, you son of a..." and then he plants a city in a craptastic location right in the middle of my empire. Again, I'm usually a peaceful guy, but I will wipe you out if you do that.
Alright, your turn. (What AI or AI antics do you hate the most?)
