Heh...could you imagine a Civ IV forum for the AI?

[PieceOfMind]

Great thread!

AI questions:
Is it cheating to use the mod Better AI? It's just the idea of making a mod with the sole purpose of making the game easier doesn't sit well with me.

Is there any logic to human DoW?

AI comments:
The human leaderhead is ugly.

It's unfair! No matter how good relations are between the human and I are, he never votes for me in a diplo win! This should be fixed, else the diplo victory is broken.

Because I am made up of code, I place a lot of importance on religion, and am baffled at how the humankind doesn't care, even though it has a long history of believing in supernatural beings. I swear humans make no sense!

Hmmm. I'm bored... Let's send spies into enemy territory for fun!

tee hee... Modders tickle.

Q: Do you ever get the feeling we're all just part of some game that has thousands of instances across the world, and some organic beings seek pleasure by pitting themselves against us for a challenge?

Reply: lol what reality have you been smoking and where can I get some? You reminded me of some crazy simulations I ran back in the 70's... good times.

Noob AI: Why can I only play at Noble level although I have heard of others, and why do I sometimes get more starting units and techs than at other times ?

Noob AI: Bump. Posted this years ago: no replies yet.

Peter: Ha! The human always votes for me, but the A.I. doesn't. That was so nice of him...in fact I think I'm going to send my armies on Mongolia instead...

TOPIC: BUG!!!!

Napoleon: Hey, i found this bug with the Human. I fought in all his wars, adopted his religion, helped him and gave him things, then ALL OF A SUDDEN HE DOWS ME!!!! I had almost no defense... He completely destroyed me!!

P.S.: What ever happened to Izzy; she doesn't post anymore.

RE:
Joao: We need a mod that either removes or fixes the human. Seriously, this has gone on too long!!!

RE:
Catherine: Izzy got banned for starting several threads bashing religions.

 

[Fei Kelei]

Why do the human players always take so long to upgrade their old units? It's so cheap that I don't understand why they don't just do it right away.

Catherine-A/S/L?

Epic win of destiny.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Anonymous AI- Hey guys and gals, I have an amazing idea to freak out the human player! Next time they ask "What do you think of Catherine", just say "Catherine? I like him (pleased)". Ha Ha!

 

[dirtyparrot]

The art of moving my units back and forth for the hell of it

Why you should build a factory on the brink of being eliminated by the human

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Why you should immediately settle that great general that just spawned in your city next to the humans enormous stack

ha, the Better AI would laugh at you. It knows not to do that.

AI comment:
"Hmm I really don't like Shaka and for once I think I'm more powerful than him. I think it's time for war. But give me one sec..." <goes to check something on his calculator>

Any AI-Hey how come I can only play Civ? I want to play Age of Empires, no lettling this human "think" for hours on end.

Response to Thread "I Can't Get Past Noble. Help!"

Posted by Don'tCallMeMontgomery: Are you building enough Jaguars? That seems to always work for me. You might want to check out the articles in the Strategy Forum. LooksLikeChuckNorris has a great guide in there for beating the human on Chieftan; it's a bit advanced (he's a BetterAI), but the same techniques should work on Noble.

Pacal - Humans Cheat!! Last night he got two Great Generals in peacetime!

In peacetime! Only a cheater could do that!


Has anybody else noticed an increase in privateers lately?


Churchill- That's easy. Do what I always do- convert all of your coastal cities to caravel production and send them out to attack the privateers the turn they are built.

Pacal- That's what I always do,too. Somehow the privateers keep getting stronger instead of weaker.

Thread Title: "need help plz with religin"

Gandhi: i want human to convert to hindu but it doesnt come up on diplo screen can ppl help plz

Isabella: Human needs to have the religion in at least one of its cities before you can demand a conversion. Build some missionaries and spread Hinduism to some of its cities, then you'll see the option come up.

Gandhi: ok thanx but i built missionarys and they keep going to other civs and i built more and now they just stand around whats wrong

Mansa Musa: You need "Open Borders" with Human so the Missionaries can go there.

Gandhi: i dont want to give ob unless their hindu so how do i make it come up on the diplo screen

Gandhi: *bumb* can anyone help plz


Thread title: "diplo screen doesnt show religin"

Gandhi: i want human to convert to hindu but it doesnt come up on diplo screen can ppl help plz

Catherine (MODERATOR): Thread locked, this topic already exists.

Poll: How many cities should you have before you build a worker?

a) Four or more
b) Three cities
c) Two cities
d) One city

Results:
Four or more: 85%
Three cities: 9%
Two cities: 5%
One city: 1%


Bismark: This is an easy one. The optimal strategy is archer, archer, settler, barracks, archer, archer, settler, archer, settler, worker.

Ramesses: Close, but you left out the Obelisk.

Bismark: What the h__ is that?

Ramesses: Er, Monument. It's called an Obelisk in the Mod I'm plaing.

Mehmed: I usually build a worker before a Settler.

Tokugawa: Noobie!

Genghis Khan: Usually four, but if I have a lot of forests to chop down I might build one after three.

 

[Turquoiside]

Actually, the A.I. I see almost always has a worker befroe I meet them. (During a warrior rush of course.....)

Peter's, as well as Mansa's and Augustus', part is based on experience

Topic: Nukes
by Willem

Post: Every time I get 2 Ledgendary cities, I get nuked. I get declared on and and I then get invaded. I was at pleased, and Frederick was rigght by the human starving his cites in unhealthiness, and I get destroyed? What?

Re: Nukes by Peter

NUKE HIM BACK! Stock hold TONS of Strategic Nukes and watch him DIEEEEEEE!

Re: Nuked by Mansa Musa

Heh. Your lucky, I get flat out suprise attacked when I go for culture. I just build SDI though, it usually keeps me safe.

Re: Nukes by Augustus

Heh. Your lucky, I get flat out suprise attacked when I go for culture. I just build SDI though, it usually keeps me safe.

Not true, I had SDI and Roosevelt launched about 20 Strrategic Nukes and only one was knocked down! Those aresome bad odds! I had to stay in that dump for two more years until I escaped into space!

Re: Nukes by Peter

What did I say? You cant't be defensive! Nuke him, nuke everyone!
