Angry with me? But I did not do anything.

It is I find very weird when you have hidden your units nationality and captured their city and they get furious wth you but the thing is I never declared war on them as I used my "cloaked" units.

How did the AI know it was me....?

 

[cegman]

Mabye they know who the city went to so they know it is you?

This doesn't sound a little silly? What if you saw a bunch of chinese soldiers enter your city, and take it over. Who would you suspect took it over? What the hell does it mean to be cloaked anyway? INVISIBLE soldiers that people just obey?

It's one thing to have secret missiles, ships, EVEN AIRPLANES! But gee whiz...

I have thought of this with Privateers. If I sink a Galley during peace time, then immediately move into my harbor to heal right in front of the other civ, do they know it's me? It seems obvious that they should, but it always seems that they don't.

What I mean is using the same thing as a privateer. You mod a ground unit so that their nationality is hidd3en and when you attack someone they don't know its you.

But somehow the AI knows it and I find it weird that they do when they R NOT SUPPOSE 2.

Perhaps you are doing something else to annoy them, or you are using some units that are not cloaked...

 

[philippe]

or mayby cities can detect cloaced units

 

[Zouave]

This goofy thread ought to be cloaked.


First of all, the AI KNOWS ALL as it always cheats.

Secondly, cloaking your whole military really makes a mockery of the game. So don't do it.

 

[philippe]

the ai sux its better to play honest rules

 

[wohmongarinf00l]

this sounds like stretching the rules a bit but i think i will use it for paratroopers...and only paratroopers.

 

[rangers85]

Hmmm, did you raze the city you captured or kept it? If you kept it, I'd think it's pretty obvious that your civ captured it. Otherwise, why does it now belong to you after the hidden nationality units took it over.

 

[kenjilo]

Quite true..... however well I thought the civ still would not be angry with me cos the unit is a hidden nationality unit and it is the AI....

But well I'll try razing it and see what is the outcome..

Hmm what if an icbm is placed as a hidden nationality???? Would they know u launched it?

Nasty but good!

FYI: the ai's know where ALL your units are - invisible, hidden nationality or otherwise. Some of the unit abilities don't work. They knew it was your hidden nationality unit the moment you produced it (ie, your creative icbm idea won't work). Invisibility is another bug - ever wonder why your subs get bombed when there are no enemy ships around?
