My game has 3 continents, and Dido is on the largest and all game has been at war taking over her continent. I am occupied on my own and content with leaving her be overconfidrnt. But she makes the mistake of taking out 2 of my CS allies, so now its time to put her in her place. I build a large fleet and send it towards Carthage, while sending a dozen land units with a small naval escort to the far end of her continent to start liberating cities.

At first all looks great, she is taking huge losses but replacing them with like units, and it takes quite a while just to liberate the 1st couple of cities. But eventually her losses start to mount faster than she can replace them. And then I see why, she has started pumping out nothing but archeologists. There are no known sites left, yet soon she has over a dozen running around. Meanwhile, after recovering from my initial thrust, I no longer have any resistance from her military. And even as city after city falls, nothing but archeologists are being created.

This is nearly as stupid as when their units fortify next to my citadels.
