Citystate influence bug

[pba]

Oh, yes and one more thing: I had no Honor tree . My Infantry barely could hold off 2 attacks of the AI Electricity Vanguards ...

I never take even two Honor policies unless I'm playing for conquest. Nerfing the Vanguards' offensive capability a little wouldn't hurt.

I totally fill out honor when I'm going tall culture if there are nearby warmongers that have DoWed me. Never underestimate the amount of gold it can produce. I can't say I've ever had a problem with vanguard offensive capability seeming too OP.

@Dunkal: Well that's part of the 'diplo warfare', and intended. It gives an advantage to the offender, so to use the phenomenon in your favor do the same: bribe as many citystates as you can with as little margin as possible as compared to the runaway AI, and then declare war. Also make sure to invest only in citystates you can afford to bribe all the way to being allies. As soon as you declare war all AI influence investment is lost.

pba, thanks for the advice but this isn't the first time at this rodeo for me...

and yes it is a bug. I was at war with none of the Civ's or CS's... What would cause them to declare war on me after being out influenced by Ghandi?

Sorry, I thought Gandhi declared war on you with his new ally CS, then he lost influence and then you made peace.

That makes sense. I was talking about science games in my case, and pba seemed not to be playing culture, either.

To me they're not too OP so much as too interchangeable with Melee units. You're basically okay with either.
