Warlord
OK I'm playing the Inca. I have 4 cities; going cultural vic.
France is North of me, Persia to the west.
Early in the game I used my Atlatlists and went to war with Persia but I didn't manage to take the capital because it was in the middle of a million hills and my archers were getting pummelled before they could get into range.
Anyway while my units had Persia surrounded France declares war on me. I ignore them because its early in the game and they are sorta far away. Next thing I know there is a massive army surrounding my northernmost city. I'm crapping my pants now. I pull all my units off the seige with Persia, quickly purchase walls and another atlatist in the city in question and cross my fingers.
Right before his Army is going to start attacking my city I think to myself "This isn't going to end well. Let's see if I can bribe him for Peace?" Guess what?
He settles for Peace. No terms! He just walks away! Awesome!
OK. Like 50 turns go by and now we are at war again. At the same time France is also plopping down cities like they are going to expire if he doesn't use them. He builds two cities near my northern city. Now I have no interest in going to war with France. His territory is far away and has nothing of value that I want. I'd have to cross a desert to even get there. I want to take over Persia still god dammit! Then I'll have a global monopoly on citrus!
I keep asking (and France keeps offering me) ridiculous Peace terms now. 2 sometimes 3 out of my 4 cities and all my gold. Now here's the insane part.
I managed to actually take over one of the little cities he planted near me and the other one is on the verge of collapse. He contacts me again and offers me peace...
IN EXCHANGE FOR 3 OF MY CITIES!!!!!
Dude I just smashed the crap out of your army and took one of your cities! WTF?! Is this AI drunk or something?
