I don't even bother anymore...

Yes the AI is very dumb. Imagine that the so called most powerful military nation still has 50 spearmen and a few stone axe and bearskin units running around in 1953.

OMG -- what the? What's that warrior doing defending one of MY cities!? :rotfl:

Just kidding. I should probably disband about 50 cavalry, but I still find them useful in a pinch. Like when I'm rushing to complete a wonder they're worth 20 shields each! Or when I start building modern armor, I'll drop one for one.
 
Trinity: I love to brin in stacked Cavalry to follow my Modern Armour. They are 'cheap' (i.e. I already have them), they make good garrisons, and they can be surprisingly good at countering AI Infatry invasions (I always try to make sure the AI can't build mech inf :D). The trick is not to defend (even if you attack the AI wqhen they come in) but to throw huge numbers of cheap units into their territory.....


btw: just encountered one of the stupidest things I've ever seen: There is 1 iron on the continent, and two civs. The iron is like 15 tiles from the AI captial, 30 from mine. I send a settler there even though it is hopeless. The AI has a settler there before mine arrives - and the guy marches on!!!!!!!!! The iron is mine!!!! Can you belive that????? (Can post sav, too!)
