Eternal War.

[kokoras]

How is it possible to be at at war for 6000 years!
In my last game Incas (my neighbors) have showed their hostile intentions very fast,right from the begining of the game.
For not saying many worlds the fact is that they have been at war with almost every one else (big map,10 civs) until the very last turn of the game 1850 aproximately.
I wonder how is this possible...
Also by the time of modern ages i was evolved in the strongest nation,me and Germans.Somehow AI has decided that Incas sould declare again war at me also (i could eliminate them in less than 10 turns).
So how AI ''thinks'' and decides what to do?It doesn't seem inteligence at all.

FIrst of all it sounds like a fun game you got going there. Secondly once I was the German's and Russia was down to one city and they declared war on me 1,000 times there size, and I had a SoD of Mech Infantry and Modern Armor parked outside of their capitol. I guess common sense wasn't programmed into this Civ III.

Fun game it was for sure.
But it doesn't make any sence that AI do not know when to stop.I agree with you that common sence is escluded from Civ.

Playing tiny maps illuminates the point kokoras makes here very well I think. I'm playing the Koreans on a tiny map and my territory is on a continent with 5 other civs. They are constantly at war with one another. Needless to say, I'm quick to use this against them, I'm picking fights as I go along. But it's a lot more fun this way.

Maybe they were playing an "Always War" variant. I've seen some civs like that. Once, I played a OCC on demigod level, where the Greeks were attacking everyone in sight. They had about 60% of the landmass, I had about 3% (1 city), and Russia had 30% (there were quite a few unclaimed tiles). You would think that Greece would attack Russia (they were at war with me, but I was lucky enough to have the only source of ivory!) and brought Russia in. I signed a peace treaty with Greece, and well... Russia never forgave Greece, and started pushing the Greeks back. Russia soon won by domination. Highest aggression was also on.

 

[kokoras]

My game was set in normal aggression,however war was going on for ever.
Fascism seems to be the goverment AI preffers.Before C3C communism had the same role on eternal wars.Anyway it is impressing that AI continue beeing at war even if there is no chance of wining it.

I assume that after 6000 years at war, war weariness is no longer an issue because people got used to it....

I can't say I've had a war last 6000 years, but I have had a war last several thousand. The first game of CIV3 I ever played I was Rome, huge map, max # Civs. Through a number of alliances and nearly constant war it came down to just me and the Russians. I ruled half the world, they ruled the other. We spent the next several thousand years at war, beating each other into oblivion. The current year is 6322 (or so) and I still play that game once in a while. The whole planet is a desert from nuclear war and global warming, cities are small and hardly productive and pollution is rampant. All either of us really build (if we can manage to build things) are nukes. I could've taken the Russians ages ago, but it was more fun to just keep the war going as long as possible. Many times a brief rest period will occur, still technically at war, just no actual fighting allowing us to try to rebuild some before blowing it all to hell again. My ultimate goal is to get to the year 10,000 and I'll eventually try to destroy the Russians so I can rule a worthless desert planet.
