AI Anarchy

I haven't chance to check it yet, but logically, AI Civ should switch its goverment from Democracy prior to declaring any war?

Therefore, we can be predict time when they are going to attack, by looking into their goverment status in Military advisor? No surprises.

Well they always know when i change, and you cna find out via F4 or F3 if they change, but I have NEVER caught an AI in Anarchy.......

I did see it, your MP ally might do it when you declare war on someone else.

I did today. I happened to be looking at my military advisor screen and I saw "Chinese- Anarchy" where it should say something like, "Chinese- Republic".

I have caught it all the time - AI in Anarchy.

LK26 during my early turns has China in Anarchy!
It usually happens when getting cruched in a war.
They also suffer from war weariness.


However, the higher the game level you play - the shorter the anarchy period for the AI.

You can also see them in anarchy when the AI gets the tech for a government.

This is one of my favorite tactics.

1) Get an advanced form of governemnt.
2) Gift/Sell it to the target. (No gold per turn or luxuries... nothing that last 20 turns)
3) ATTACK!

You now have a few turns where the AI can't build new units to fight back.

One small caveat: don't try this on a religious civ. They have no anarchy. And they just get a free tech.
