Like Madscot wrote the game simulates WWI style wars from Nationalism till the tank comes around.
Combine that with a higher difficulty (say Deity
) and you'll have Cavalries (attack 6) trying to get four fortified Infantry in a size 13 city (defense 22.5?). Your only option is Artillery (about 50 of them). Same thing when the AI comes after you, just that they don't really use arty

I don't think you can make new worker actions. You can only edit the names. Like terrain.
This is a possibility. There is a list of Worker Actions in the "Units" part of the Editor (by each unit) that could make it possible for a Rifleman to build a Fortress. Think "Siege Engineers."

IIRC, the AI can't handle units with just some Worker Actions enabled.
I have had many battles last for years and have had no one gain ground. Eventually, someone will fall though - it's only a matter of time.
The only way to have a true stalemate in Civ would be if the game ended via time and the top points score was tied.
Anyone ever seen that happen, out of curiousity? Is there a tie-breaker?

Yes, I vaguely remember someone modding legionaries to be able to build roads - which seemed vaguely historic albeit perhaps unbalancing - and I think the result was that the confused Ai treated some legionaries as combat units and never built anything with them, and used some as pseudo-workers and didn't use them for combat.
There was a suggestion that the unit is 'tagged' when built as 'offensive', 'defensive', 'worker' etc and the Ai can't change the allocation?

I've modded my infantry & Mech infantry to build fortresses, because, well, they can.
I've also modded riflemen to build armies because, well, I can.

I used to stalemate, until i figured out what arty was good for.
One time, I had what you could definantly call a stalemate. I was the French at this time, and the major landmark that seperated myself and England was a large mountain range that separated our countries. However, I did have a few cities beyond that natural boundary, and the English, I guess, wanted to make that mountain range the official boundary. ^^;. Anyway, they took several cities, and then I went back and took them back ,and continued fighting for several centruies, afterwards no side gained or lost any land. Then I made peace, and placed units along the entirety of the border, to protect my land.

Good thought. Here are two nice early industrial Howitzers, suitable for WW1:

I once have a nice stalemate going with the French. I founded a city across the straights from my capital and which was then surrounded by French cities. Suddenly the French sneak attacked my city which was being defendned by 2 pieces of artillery, 1 cav and 5 or 6 riflemen. The first wave of French troops died upon my city walls but killing almost all my defenders. I had to rush troops across the 2 tile straight to keep from losing my city. My reinforcements were dying just as fast as I could bring them in. Once I left my home ilse devoid of military units, I began my counter attack. only to see my forces die. It was brutal.
20 turns later, we reach peace with zero cities taken.
I did get France's other neighbor in the war to avoid a loss due to the sheer number of troops the French could throw at me and had to protect my coasts with a navy. Helped being an island civ in this game.

Yes I have. It wasn't quite a stalemate, just a very slow offensive. I was using Cavalry and huge stacks of Artillery. It would take a turn or three of shelling to get a city down to size 5 so I could properly attack it.
The game was one of my SGs, if you are extremely interested take a look in the SG forum.
