Title. In my current game the Huns brought 6 Horse Archers and 4 warriors (Lord knows how they afforded them) around turn 60 as I had two Archers for defense. I bought a third Archer but probably could've managed with two as old Atty proceeded to dance around and about Delhi with his horde of dimwits. In the game before this, Byzantium, France and Germany all did this around my Venice... They come into range for attacking the city, then decide to go home for a teabreak and come back the very next turn, only to retreat again to eat lunch... It's hard to decide whether to laugh or to cry at their indecision.
I remember this happening in G&K to an extent but it was never this bad. Anyone else experiencing this? Did they change something in the AI behavior regarding city attacks?
Fwiw in those two games the AIs wiped out other AIs just fine. It's hard to imagine why they'd behave differently against the human player (in combat that is).
Also, I know: two-game sample size. I'm *hoping* it's just a huge coincidence; that's why I'm asking you guys. Oh, and the map was not random but a custom made Huge world map (Legendary Earth), in case that matters.
[EDIT: To clarify, The Huns and I were at war (they DOW'ed along with China due to my forward settling towards Beijing); I see plenty of early wars but I've only played this one map. Perhaps it's somehow map-dependent?]
