I was wondering if the AI cheats in any way on noble setting? The reason why i ask this is because i am currently in a game with 10 other civs, on a pangea map, on huge setting, in which i am the global tech leader (in every sense, since i can't find anyone with tech that i don't have but everyone is begging me for them).
So, since i was getting bored at 1675 AD as i could see by then how i was likely to win, i decided to start wars among my neighbours just for kicks. I got a hold of monty and gave him the nationalism tech in exchange for him warring with roosevelt and he accepted. Note that i was still building the taj mahal at this point but i was bored and monty is so behind i figured i could get it built before him.
To my horror, 2 turns after i gave him the tech in which he declared war with roosevelt, he completed the taj mahal!!! Is that even possible? I mean the taj mahal is 700 hammers, meaning he has an average production rate per turn of 350 hammers?!?!? Even with chop rushing, the workers would take some turns to chop no? His civics at this point was Hereditary rule, burecuracy, serfdom, decentralisation and organised religion. What i would like to know is if it is possible with those civics to pump out a wonder in 2 turns or if the AI cheats in some form with regards to wonders if they want it more than you?
