So I've been noticing (as have a lot of others by the threads) that the AIs have gotten more aggressive post patch. I'd upload some images, but my game keeps crashing for some reason.
My last game as Carthage (Standard, Immortal, Tiny Islands) was probably the craziest I'd seen yet. Initially, I had a DOF with Mongolia (my closest neighbor) and later Babylon. Everyone else was either hostile (Monty, Lizzy), guarded (Augustus, Ethiopia) or neutral (Isabella). Around turn 45, Mongolia back-stabbed me, conquered my ally Ragusa, and flooded my boarders with warriors/archers. Within the next 10 turns, every single Civ was at war with at least one other Civ and 3 CS's had been conquered by different Civs.
After a bit more playing, the alliances turned out to be me, Nebs, and Isabella vs. Lizzy, Genghis, and Monty (Genghis and Monty were actually at war with each other too...). Ethiopia was wonder spamming, but DOWed Lizzy for some reason while Rome DOWed the across-the-globe Babylon.
Since it was so early, not many people were losing cities, but it was definitely hurting everyone. Most cities around the world were starving due to blockades and everyone apparently stopped focusing on tech and only produced units. It seems that everyone was so focused on conquering cities that they couldn't develop their own cities. I ended up quitting because almost every non-capital city had less than 3 pop (usually 1 or 2) because of starvation and no one seemed to be letting up.
Has anyone had any similar crazy experiences? G&K started this trend, but I think the Fall Patch certainly enhanced it.
