AI getting units soon as they get the tech???

[SINISTER1974]

Hi, I been playing civ for years and i love the game. Only thing i hate about it is as soon as the AI get a tech their units are all upgraded. Say for example they just got the tech that u get cruise missles with---that round they start to use them. How can they do this-it usually takes me 2-3 rds to build one and they have 1,000,000 of them as soon as they get the tech. Any tips or reason why this is. This also happened with many other tech/units-I like to go for defense structures and wonders-i rarely go for-howies,nukes, and air units fast-i always get laser, sam sites, and structurees that help me build faster. And i love a good navy--nothing better-but what good is a navy when as soon as they get a tech they launch 30 cruise missles at me that fast-doesnt allow me time to recall my fleets please help or give me tips on this.

LOL, you don't realize the full extent of what the AI can "do" . This is the tip of the iceburg .

Use the search function, and you'll find some details . Here is one thread:
