AI interrupting workers

[Hellfiredoom]

I need to vent, so bear with me. I hate when the AI is running one of their settler/spearman combos through MY territory, they wander past my worker, and my worker stops his task losing any progress towards completion.

If the game can count how many turns are needed to complete the task, why couldn't they put in a counter that tracks how many turns have already been put into that tile so when the task is resumed it picks up where it left off? Ok, my rant is over, back to world domination...

They did it is in Civ 4.

You can tick a preference in the Preferences Menu that lets your people ignore AI intrusions. I can't remember which it is but someone here will recall that one.

Stop enemy moves,stop friendly moves, but then your ships will not stop if they encounter AI ships.

Here are the options you need to uncheck:

You just need to be more careful when your workers are near the enemy line. But overall, I think it does more good than bad. Especially useful for automated bombardment, as you may set a stack of artilleries to autobomb a city, but if an enemy unit walks nearby, they will need to be reassigned the next turn. Very annoying when you have 50 arties making a new Sarajevo

Thanks for the responses. I'll have to play around with those preferences and see what I can live with. I too hate having to reset arties that are busy bombing the AI into next week.

How do you set your artillery to automated bombardment?

Shift + B

 

[dalgo]

Thanks for that.

Edit: I assume that means there is no command for a stack to all bombard at once.

Unfortunately not, though I too wish there was. Note: the Shift + B also works for naval bombardment, if you're into that.

LOL ...ok, bad I know, but made me laugh out loud when I saw this for some sick reason...~
