AI produces units w/o appropriate resource

[Genghis Jon]

My strategy against the English was to destroy their iron mine so that they could no longer produce axe men, swordsmen, etc.

I razed the mine and after a couple of skirmishes they should have been reduced to fighting me with pointy sticks and foul language. However, after a few more turns I noticed that the units continued to be produced.

They're in a tight space with only three cities and I know they don't have any other access to the resource.

Attached is a saved game from about the right time.

What about the source of copper they have?

I just got out of your save game.. you do need to get rid of the copper resource. I doubt the other civs were giving Liz either copper or iron (axemen can be built with either).

After taking out hte iron and copper resources (and telling Biz not to trade with Liz), Liz made a war elephant.. pillaging her ivory resource forced her to start making archers and catapults.

Details.. details.. eh?

Edit: you should really connect those horses of yours..
