AI has Infentry in Classic Era???

[PWK87]

No mods, cheats, etc playing the preorder bonus Mesopotamia map, all normal settings and suddenly the AI has Infantry. Can someone explain how this happened? I've had scouts turned into archers by ruins, but Infantry is crazy.

I think if you keep finding ruins with that unit it keeps upgrading.

Yup is crazy ... and it was pretty much what happened ( you are not the first to complain ): major upgrade via ruins. Most likely one of the "to fix ASAP" issues in Firaxis desk

I had a warrior that went all the way to infantry before I ran out of ruins. The only way I think that was possible though was because it was an archipelago map and I was the only one running around picking them up.

Perhaps send out some additional scouts.

its the ruins, the one that upgrades. its extremely rare to find more than one with a single unit, but it does happen. sucks to be you!

That's quite a silly thing to happen. Hopefully Firaxis fix this.

 

[Feyd Rautha]

Aliens left their laser guns though! Why shouldn't I be able to use 'em!!!

It will probably be fixed, but if you ever encounter this you called it upon yourself for not getting some of those ruins from the guy.

Sadly ancient ruins allow for a single unit to slingshot up the upgrade tree by simply getting lucky

that's why I'm not going to play with ruins until they patch this up.

 

[PWK87]

Too bad I can't get a Giant Death Robot this way... ;P

I'm surprised they didn't fix this in that little patch they did. Someone posted this issue within 2 hours of the game releasing.
