Can you post screen shots and save files?

I'd prefer not to speculate, but seeing things like that, coupled with recent discussions in a couple of other posts are what made me start this thread. The things that I (and others) have noticed could have very simple explanations (like the above) that we're missing OR there could be aspects...

Awesome. Thanks for the analysis. I hope more people post some examples. I had one a while ago where Brazil upgraded to swordsmen with no apparent sources of iron, but I didn't keep the save. If I find any other fishy things I'll post them up.

I agree that most posts are of that nature but that is NOT the intent of this post. I'm currently playing on Immortal and doing fairly well, and I consider myself to be a very suboptimal player, so I don't believe that the "cheating" makes the AI unbeatable or even especially difficult for very...

Here’s an example of the AI doing things the player can’t do (it’s actually pretty perfect). I have a crossbowman on the Mahabodi Temple just north of Rouen. I move the swordsman one southeast to the east side of Rouen, choose my production queues, then heal everyone else in place. The Free...

I appreciate the discussions, but to reiterate: PLEASE PROVIDE EVIDENCE IN THE FORM OF SAVE FILES, ETC. Some of us (myself included) have experienced and heard anecdotal evidence sufficient to sway us. This thread to is to figure out some specifics and perhaps try to map out under what...

In a couple of other threads, discussions were brought up about whether or not the game "cheats", ie. the AI is not bound by the same rules as the player. Some examples were brought up but not much concrete evidence. I personally believe the the AI DOES NOT have to play by the same rules as...

I'm not sure it's been proven, but I've experienced enough anecdotal evidence to believe it. Honestly it really doesn't bother me at all. I've recently been playing a lot of the original SNES Mario Kart on switch and I suddenly realized that the computer racers are not affected by a lot of the...

That makes a ton of sense.

OK, now I understand, you're trying to show proof that the AI reacts and does things in ways that they shouldn't be able to. I'm still not sure why you're hung up on this though. I mean, yeah it's frustrating that your actions influence the AI when they shouldn't, but it's not as if that makes...

Sorry dude, but I just played your map from turn 1 and was able to get Dance of the Aurora on my first try, turn 20. My faith generation definitely lagged as well, since I had no idea zombie mode was active and they swarmed my cap, keeping my pop at 1 for a bunch of turns until I could get a...

The second half of my saves...

I haven't tried your map yet, so I can't say with certainty but I suspect that Aurelesk's explanation is what happened, your settings made your odds of getting your preferred pantheon much worse than normal. Are these the usual settings you use when creating games? Maybe this is why you're...

But they're medieval walls. Is there something that indicates that they're really Renaissance walls that I'm missing?

WTF mate? Why is my siege tower not working against this city?
