It is starting to get ridiculous. The Barbs hardly ever kill an AI military unit.
Case in point--this screenshot.
I intentionally kept my archer on the hill and watched for FIFTY turns (this nonsense began 20 turns earlier). Archer shoots the Indian spearmen, and the spearman heals 10. Archer shoots, spearmen heals 10. Rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat.
Never mind that the spearmen doesn't even attack the archer. Why not? It would totally destroy the the archer unit. And if it was my spearmen, I would not keep healing like that. I'd be dead in a few turns.
I'm willing to bet that this would have continued for another fifty turns (if not longer).
I just don't get it. And I don't get why five or six barbs will go after my one warrior, but will totally ignore the three AI scouts standing right next to them. Or 20 turns into the game I get swarmed by barbs, but the AI doesn't.
I ended up quitting the game, as it was the fourth attempted game in a row where I had no horses for my camel archers (I am Arabia). Before that four attempted games with no iron playing as England. And six attempted games as Mongolia with no horses.
I just don't get it--Barbs don't kill AI military units, I can't get the resources for my civ's unique unit, etc. What good is the UU if I don't get the resources?
And I'm only playing on King.
Any thoughts? And apologizes for ranting. But I just don't get it.
