Considering the joy you apparently had in hammering me down -yet- again, I question your definition of 'waste of time'. Also, how did kingdoms on the far side of the globe, with no exploring units in my land, -know- my military was 'weak'? Now -that- cheat has been in since games had any form...

The war was declared centuries ago. There hasn't been a moment when I -wasn't- 'at war' since I met them (no, I didn't declare it). Up until that save point, the only other battle that happened was a weak-ass amphibious assault. Two greek units in a boat, taken out by a lone swordsman unit...

Well at least you admit it. Too bad you failed to see my point. Let's take it from an all-human-player perspective. Would you call it completely fair in a six-player game for five of the players to spontaneously gang up on one? I sure as hell wouldn't, and I'd never play with those five ever...

Well, on another note, I just stumbled on evidence of the AIs in cahoots with each other, with no declaration. Imagine a U-shaped continent, large world (this continent is the only one on the map, aside from one large island, so it's freakin' big). I'm sitting pretty on one end. Xander and...

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Look it up.

Stop with the recitation of failure! "Can't do it! Can't do it! Can't do it!" Making me sick. Can we fly? "Can't do it! Can't do it! Can't do it!" Humans recited that for centuries until someone smacked us over the head and pointed out that yes, we CAN fly. The longer we assume we cannot...

*tests* ... Great. Just great. Sid left in the 'save predetermined results' code from Civ III. Thanks a lot, Sid, you just made prooving your AI bias cheats much harder. Co-incidence? I really doubt it. Stack attack can no longer be used or trusted. With it engaged, all combats are...

Real people didn't realize they were living on a sphere right away either...

Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT, 256mb video ram. It's not a weakling.

Point was, you asked for the exact same thing. I actually thought it over and set up a little game as you described. Me and one AI. 50 units of Swordsmen, 50 of Riflemen, and 50 Tanks each, all in Desert tiles and next to their counterparts. A turn later only his Riflemen were in trouble...

Problem is, the Automated Worker AI will do it anyways. :p

Well, I'm glad to hear you've done these things yourself. May I see your savegames? (yes you'll claim burden of proof is mine, but if it's as simple as you say...) Actually... This part won't work. An AI put into position to do 'significant damage' will absorb the enemy outright with no...

Because it's not something that is prooved with 'a couple of savegames'. It's only proven by entire plays, start to finish.

I keep finding that, as I uncover more map, that the mini and global maps 'smear' horizontally, to the point of complete illegibility. It doesn't happen in the first few turns, but grows more likely as I continue exploring. It's pretty much guranteed by the 20th turn. It also happens most any...
