AI civs nuking me... or trying to

[dragokatzov]

I am playing a game where my civ (the germans) is engaged with a fierce war with the Egyptians, and the English. for that past 20 terns or so, they have nuked this one city of mine over and over and over again... and it had SDI.... if they just want to nuke this city, they can nuke it till theirs heart content!

What did you say to them?!

I thought SDI was supposed to protect against nukes...

 

[Weird_bug]

I wonder... does SDI wear off?

Er, no??

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

The AI will just blitz you with missiles on the SAME targets every time!
They have no strategy. Build an SDI, then forget about it.

perhapes they might be sneaking a spy in to plan a nuclear warhead?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

I've found that once an enemy gets nukes (if I allow them to survive that long), it helps to keep a spy in every city -- to catch theirs.

this city they keep trying to nuke does have sdi... thats the thing i find so interesting

Well, you can always nuke them before they nuke you. Kind of alienates you from the rest of the world, but if you've nuked every last one of their cities (and troops inside) then how will they wage war against you?

In my experience the AI never tries to nuke a city with an SDI.

Are you sure that the AI is not trying to nuke another city which does not have an SDI, but is within three squares of the city that has an SDI?

AI never learns that an SDi less city is protected by a nearby city's SDI.

 

[dragokatzov]

yup. the city they are trying to nuke does have SDI
