Hello everyone.
I've been trying out the Civ5 Unofficial Patch again and I'm amazed at what a hard time the AI can give me in combat on that mod.
I started pretty close to Russia and we've already been at war twice.In the second war, after dealing with some of her forces near my borders, I started advancing toward the only city of hers that I could see, which was Moscow.As I neared Moscow, she had a catapult that I think was sitting there on a hill, making it hard to approach that way.It eventually left, though, but she had at least one catapult right outside Moscow.So I tried sending a melee unit to go through the woods to the east of Moscow to destroy the catapult.But then came three warrior squads and started advancing at my melee unit, forcing it to retreat just to survive!After that the warriors started heading back toward Moscow, and my melee unit was busy healing.
So I decided instead to send a catapult to get on the hill outside of Moscow and start killing off her army that way.So the catapult started making it's way there, and then it started getting hit by archers that I couldn't even see!After that I was retreating once again.Then an archer that I think had at least three promotions came out into the woods, driving some of my units back even further to avoid being shot by it.So then I decided to send a melee unit to close in on the archer and kill it.Well, when I did, the archer retreated and the melee unit started getting hit by other archers, forcing me to retreat yet again
This little deadlock continued for a while and then I finally just decided to make peace.Sheesh!
I love the mod, though.
Just wanted to share that little story.
