Characters Welcome
I don't know that this has been asked before, but if so I apologize for the repetition.
When playing strategy games, I frequently enjoy setting up multiplayer battles where there is no human player, but rather I get to watch the computers battle it out. I like watching these simulations and not only learning how the computer plays, but watching stories and events play out, sometimes as if there were real-life reasons and decisions behind what I know are really computerized, emotionless, just-beat-the-others actions.
I've been trying to do this with CivIII for some time now, and have been unsuccessful. No matter what I try, I must somehow be present in the game and as a result, the computers react to me and to my actions instead of each other. An example is trying to have one city on an island very far away from the other civilizations, with extensive fortifications and enough scouts/diplomatic ties to see what is going on on their side of the world. It usually ends up in a long string of extortion and NATO-sized vendettas against me.
Does anyone know how I could simulate a game of Civ without being a player, or at least a player of any significance to the unfolding of the game?
