Do early wars help or hurt the AI?
I feel like the discussion has devolved completely down to 'no wars therefore broken' rather than an analysis of the metaresult, which could very well prove that the AI is being hurt by it.
Using your post as a corner stone, I am not replying to you directly.
There has never been an analysis of anything. There have been 3 distinct sides in this (as in every topic regarding civ 5 in this forum)
One side is those who love the game to the death, the other is those who try to trash it for no reason and a small minority who tries to point out its flaws in the hope of finding answers and fixes for it. Unfortunately as it happens in every thread with similar subjects those who post about the problems and hope to find a solution are wrapped with the trashers because the lovers are the majority and project hostility, as if we are about to murder Sid himself. To the mentality of this forum you either love CiV or hate it, despite numerous attempts to prove otherwise. Be that as it may, you will never reach an end result like this, rose glasses and all.
Given the fact that I have been flamed with a glove twice thus far, this will be my last post in this thread.
Thats not a fact, thats an impression you got. And its not true, because I was attacked early on allready, even though I was defended.
You made this up. You are not honest about the situation.
What guarantees that you are the honest one though?
