Playing my first diety game with 6 civs. I killed two of them, and got a lot of nice cities from Askia. This just got my score even with 3 of the top AI civs. But they get all aggro about in and in the space of 20 turns I am now at war with all 3. I have not ever seen the AI gang up like this on another AI who happens to be infront.
Not very satisfying honestly to see the Arabians march halfway across the world just to kill me. I have 2 very nice choke points blocking everyone so I will eventually kill them all. I thought maybe I could taker a breather and get the forbidden palace. No wait this is Civ V...
The war cutoff point is ridiculous. Unless you go inflict some serious pain the AI will just remain at war indefinitely. But this is hardly intelligent. Suiciding units into my ballistas is not a good use of resources. But for some reason despite killing troops by the hundreds my advisors think I am losing and the AI is winning. I'm not saying the AI should rollover and give away all their cities. But perhaps offer a reasonable peace treaty with the intent to find a softer target, and maybe try again later with better troops. Otherwise it just results in this cascade where one AI after another declares war and it is not possible to make progress against them, even if they cannot kill any of your units or take your cities.
I certainly see the AI make peace deals with each other when it is a stalemate and nothing has happened. Whatever. Time to go kill everything.
