AI building units w/out resources

[jrs]

The AI is building units when it does not have the resources to do so. I am using Civ Conquests v. 1.20. ( I would patch but my current saves game messes up if I patch ).

Does it take a couple turns for it to realize it doesn't have the resource? Or is this a bug?

thanks

Maybe the city is built on the resource.

Do a Ctrl-SHift-M and cntrl-shift-N.

A) You only need a resource to start building something.
B) They may be trading for it.
C) They may have a city on the resource.
D) Welcome to CFC!

I am spying on the cities. It is Arabia who has captured Paris, I am spying on Paris and it shows the resource box that there is no oil or aluminum, yet it is builing a Modern Armor. I used the ctrl+shift+m to make sure I removed their resouces of aluminum, uranium and oil after they attacked me with nukes... but what good is it if they can still build them. Perhaps the finish building the current ones and then no more??

 

[jrs]

okay... so after they finish the current ones, then no more.

thanks!

False.

i once saw a cavalry attack my worker and then attack my musjetman in a same turn.

In some releases (like C3C), attacking a worker alone doesn't consume the attack of a unit and it can go on and attack. Your units can do the same.

And somtimes move mre then their movement point........

Often claimed. Never demonstrated. Watch for units moving into cities and then different units moving out. Also be aware that you can't always see the exact (rail)road situation outside of your lines.

Leo - There have been respected members of the forums who have proven conclusively (and backing it up) that the AI does not cheat. It may have unfair advantages, but cheat it does not.

True - forgot about that.
