Maybe i'm the only one.. i've been playing every civ game for the past 25 years.. but my heart bleeds, seeing this...
i was playing eleanor. a nice central position, perfect for loyalty flips... i get distracted, focusing on culture and great works, and kinda ignoring military, when mansa musa attacks me. to my surprise (and actually, that i'm surprised is bad enough) with a modern army. lots of its special units, enough siege to destroy my walled cities in one turn (the ones that actually had walls). i switch all my cities to unit production, use all the gold i have to buy some units, most of the times thats enough to defend against the AI, but the amount of units he was throwing at me was kinda insane. he basically had 3 units on the field for one of mine. i was pretty sure i'd lose 2 cities, when.. mansa musa asked for peace.. and.. paying me an absurd amount for it, while having more than 3x my military power. i was like, "seriously?"
it really killed the mood..
i want to love civ vi, i really do.. but such things make me want to uninstall the game. i played subpar, i didnt care about looking at my neighbors military power, i d have deserved to be punished for it.
i'm not expecting an AI that can compete with an experienced civ player. but at least one that makes somewhat reasonable decisions. asking for peace, after taking down the 2 encampments defending the cities, getting rid of the walls of my second city bringing it down to 50% health, with 3x the military strength, and PAYING for it, shouldnt be hard to code.
sorry, i had to vent
