....I just can't understand the point of the way it's programmed.
Huge map, 12 civs, pangaea(sp), there are actually two large islands. Me plus 7 others on one and 5 on the other, I"m America!
All the way up to around 1500AD, there was no sign of the 5 missing, too far away. I was pretty well ahead in a lot of areas, havng the GL, I was able to reduce science spending and ride the coattails of the other civs. Also got STAoW, LEO, Magellan, and that economic one...though I was pretty much tied with the other civs on my island, though I had more gold.
I found the missing 5 and they were, at best, 10 techs behind me!!!!!!!!
LESS than 10 turns LATER.....those same 5 missing CIVS are now 4 TECHS ahead of me!!!!!! What the hell! I know they didn't have any money because I tried to extort their pittance when I met them.
So how in the hell did they get past me.....oh let me guess, the AI just gives them out freely!
That is what I don't understand....and this is only on the 2nd lowest setting???!!!!
I just don't understand!
NOW, everyone wants to fight me even though I've tried to remain neutral.......just doesn't make sense. I could understand if I was a warmonger! I guess its that mysterious combat calculator also deciding when all civs should gang up?
