I play BTS emperor lvl. Anyone else have AI cities popping out brand new units in the middle of the human players combat turn? Are these new units made/conscripted or do they arrive from other cities? Surely this should not happen outside the AI's turn. Recently I've had a lot of sieges turn...

Be really nice if episonage units could trigger war, blue flag ops like Bay of Tonkin, plant evidence of WMDs, or conversely sit on their hands while other nations/actors commit terrorist acts, so you could avoid diplomatic penalties or even gaindiplomatic good will, which you could then use in...

My wife is hugely into Civ. Hilarious to hear her screaming bloody murder at sneak attacks, not being given the opprtunity to change civics (specifically organized religion upgrade when you are the first to think of Monotheism) and other bugs. Her sister is into it too.

Yeah, I mean if terrorism is a random event, you can't declare war on anyone... Oh yeah.... right Babylonians anyone?

So true :lol:

Not all of us learned English at a cybernipple.

You mentioned getting hemmed in early- you got to go for a land grab- hem your neighbours in first, establish a continuous cultural area that you can expand behind at your leisure, when you can afford it (NB never open borders till you've filled in your bagsed land). But be sure to grab horses...

Usually the AI gives me a run for my money combat-wise (i currently play prince), using varied stacks, using terrain wisely, exploiting tech advantages, so the problem of AI defensive troops abandonning the bonuses of city defense really stands out.

What would be cool is music that changes decade by decade through the twentieth century, for a real range of styles, blues, jazz, rock and roll, dance music- but maybe there would be copyright issues with that.

Has anyone else found when you have a stack of doom sitting outside an AI enemy city that units much better suited to defending give up their defensive bonuses by attacking the stack? For example, longbowmen with a 50% city defense bonus will leave the city to attack a stack of knights and...

I really love this skin. Looks so foppish, yet so sinister- Edmund Blackadder to a tee. Should give him a huge withdrawl probability, say 100%?

Thanks everyone- yeah, no railroads, the units were axemen BTW. It is reassuring to know the units follow the rules even if the graphics sometimes don't- though i guess that means sometimes you have invisible enemies in territory that only become apparent at the last minute. Now if only they...
