So I just wanted to play a quick and easy Deity game.. pick Babylon, get a nice start with little space to expand. "Alright," -- I though to myself, "this can fit only three cities." Pedro decided to forward settle on me, so I had to DoW him and steal his settler, then block the area with my Bowmen. Good. I get three cities and then see Napoleon moving his army towards my direction around t90. I upgrade my bowmen to composite bowmen and get ready to deflect his attack with my babylonian walls and cbows. Guess what? No matter how many units I kill, another carpet comes to my doorsteps. I have no more units to place on my land, but his keep coming. He goes all the way to Gunpowder, ignoring even Philosophy (he stole it from me later) and keeps spamming carpets upon carpets of units.
Ok. I decide to restart and go OCC because, frankly, the space is already too small (standard continents, but really squeezed by City-States). Instead of DoW'ing me at t90, Napoleon comes at t50. He brings archers and warriors with some swordsmen to my capital. I easily clean that up with cbows and make some pikes to stand in the frontlines. Thing is, his archers slowly become cbows and his swordsmen slowly become longswordsmen and musketeers. I keep killing them with Xbows, but the problem is THEY KEEP COMING. He won't make peace in either replay, and he won't stop sending troops to me. He is third from the bottom in score, but he doesn't care. He COVETS my land, so he can't stop, he won't stop. He will keep spamming me with his units until the end of the game! He won't go to war with any other civ at any point because he only wants to eliminate me.
I have never encountered such erratic behavior from the AI, and I have played vs France as my neighbor on deity before. I am so upset because I wasted 6 hours of my life trying to reload and replay and use different diplomacy and tech combinations to stop the rush--but it is simply impossible to fight his never-ending carpet. What in the world is that. Am I supposed to just reload, go Liberty and cbow rush his ass myself? I don't understand.
