Gandhi enjoys smoking crack

[Merzbow]

Occasionaily the robed one will indulge the crack pipe. Completely out of the blue he does this:

Gandhi?!? Granted I was playing a 3CC Prince game so I was a puny little civ, but still. A few hundred years later I sicced both Monte and Alex on his behind and Gandhi was sent packing to Nirvana. I won in 2009 by culture after surviving a war by Monte where he pillaged every tile on the map.

Military weakness will provoke attacks, especially from neighbors. Gandhi appears to be right on your border

Still, I was under the assumption that Gandhi would NEVER initiate a war. Whatever happened to non-violent resistance? Guess I was wrong. I can't say I didn't provoke the little guy - refusing tribute, agreeing to cancel trades, etc. Man I feel like such a pushover going for cultural wins. It's much more emotionally satisfying to roll over punters with stacks of armor and being able to tell Monte where to put his demands.

When Ghandi's really pissed at you then he often declares war. What gets me is when a civ with more plusses than minusses decides on a whim to declare war on you. That is irritating.

Well, if a civ sees a great oppertunity to attack you they probley will. Plus theres a chance they'll attack on any turn if you look at the XML files for the character leaders theres a little thing that says how likely they are to attack you out of the blue.

Yay Gandhi!

Just goes to show, you have to watch the little weedy guy in specs!

CIV ON!

The real Ghandi was far harder and more devious than most people know.......

 

[chewbaccad]

Ghandi may be one of the more peaceful ones, but any any AI will declare war if they sense weakness or if you peeve them enough. As long as they think they have something to gain...

please, put nothing about real life people in your threads, some may find it offensive and you'll get warned.

I'm currently dealing with an erratic Ghandi. I share a continent with Ghandi and (whoever handles Egypt). Ghandi and I are about equal for score, right in the middle of the gang. Early in the game he attacked me but I beat him back and took two cities. Over the next seven centuries he declared war three times, each time pillaging some improvements but not taking any cities.

So then I spent the late Industrial era building two large armies of marines, tanks, SAM infantry, artillery, Infantry ... and putting them on his borders. Apparently, in a century he softened, because I went to diplomacy to declare on him and he was FRIENDLY. ?????? I hadn't done anything good for him, but he was suddenly my best buddy. Weird.

You crushed him anyway, right?

Funny story.

This afternoon, I'm going for a cultural win on Emperor as Elizabeth. All is going well, I chop-rush the Oracle for Code of Laws, found confucianism. Send my free missionary to my neighbor Saladin who doesn't have a religion yet; he converts, all is well.

Three turns later, my brother of the faith Saladin marches two archers across my border, declares war, attacks the ill-defended Confucian holy city and ... razes it.

Incredibly self-defeating.

Gandhi secretly loves war, that is why he will build many cities by your borders on any civ game.
