Haven't played for a couple months (multiplayer) I have been playing alot of singleplayer though. My main gripe with MP was the AI never contacted you like they do in singleplayer, and I was wondering if there was any sort of fix (official patch, mods?) to make the AI act as they would in...

Why not just play on settler?

I was friends with the Dutch, next couple of turns this starts to happen.. whats going on lol?

Only if you are playing as Washington

Civ III (Conquests) had very active AI players in terms of chattiness and trade opportunities, I know it is far less in Civ 5 but was there ever any reasoning for it? Or is it just firaxis being lazy :(

I think I prefer Ethiopia's UB for early game :p

Personally, I think the bazaar is unreal. :goodjob:

In my most recent game I spawned within 10 tiles of Ghengis AND Monty They followed their stereotypes to and DoW'd me quick lol :)

I almost consistently get DoW'd within 90 turns :( I made a thread asking for help, and found out archers are your friends, that and building cities on hills

I take it for the border growth, the +3 culture is just gravy. I tend to grab the second policy in tradition to get 4 ampitheatres or something similar. Tradition -> Liberty (finish liberty) then start working towards finishing tradition

My favorite washington moment was when they adopted oral tradition (+1 culture from plantations)

I'd buy a Canada civ in a heartbeat

They can't fit every great civ into the game, some have to be left out.

Never really thought in-depth about letting archers have good LoS, I've always made my cities in well defend-able positions.. Kinda funny I never thought of that :P I guess as long as my military is strong enough I won't get warred to much :D

Seems that I usually get bumrushed by the AI pretty early (playing on emperor). Is this because I don't have a large standing military? Usually I don't grow my military until I have laid down some basic infrastructure (found a pantheon, etc.), but more often then not I get rushed by the AI...
