My WTF moment was earlier this evening...
Built a city in the 'isthmus of Panama', still in the midst of wilderness (Terra map, just starting to cross to the New World).
Two turns later, got a warning that "Enemy is detected near ... city".
I thought it was one or two barbarians venturing too close. Scrolled the map and...
It was a stack of 10+ longbowmen. With another stack of 6 LB one tile behind.
Since a galleon can carry only 3 units, the city was protected by only a single musketman. The reinforcements were still in the middle of the 'Atlantic'...
