1 City Challange

Seems the Ai doesnt like the rules. They are allowed to build settlers even though you cant. Tough to beat the AI when you are stuck with 1 city and they have 8 or 9. We play this a lot via multiplayer and if someone leaves, the AI takes over and immediately builds another city......very frustrating.....same thing in single player......if anyone can get this to firaxis as I cant seem to get to any support for 2K or otherwise, I would greatly appreciate it.....

That's why its called a "challenge". It's supposed to work like that.

The whole point of the one city challenge is that you have only one city compared to the AI's many cities. It wouldn't be much of a challenge if the AI was limited as well. In fact it would probably be easier than a normal game.

If you want a multiplayer game with only one city each it should be fairly simple to make a mod where settlers can't be built at all (or cost 99999 hammers or something).

I guess I didnt make my point clear. In multiplayer, someone leaves and the AI takes over and builds additional cities. Then someone else comes in and hotjoins the game with the cities that the AI built around you. They always take advantage of the fact that they are much stronger and proceed to wipe out all your hard work. All I am saying is, if Firaxis can fix this for multiplayer, it would be appreciated. I realize that players should password their civs to eliminate this but they never do and to not have the AI take over would mean if a player got dropped from the game, then they couldnt get back in.
But thanks for the input.

Erm, you know you can disable AI takeovers in the game options when starting the game, right?

No, I posted this - "I realize that players should password their civs to eliminate this but they never do and to not have the AI take over would mean if a player got dropped from the game, then they couldnt get back in."

Because i didnt know that......by the way....what does that have to do with fixing the bug???

Almost sorry I posted anything now.
