I wrote mine more from the perspective of what an AI thinks of my playing style. Enjoy!
Wow, what an easy target! Sometimes his Cities are defenseless, sometimes they are guarded by a Warrior--and often his
core Cities are still using one Warrior each for defence well into the 1900s AD!
He also has
so many juicy-looking Wonders that I can't wait to annex his lands!
He's
constantly trading with my Worst Enemy, despite by requests for him to stop.
For some reason, he
loves to run a State Religion, even if it is counter to that of the rest of the world's State Religions.
He is
easy to bribe into a war for a tech or two and in fact, he will
foolishly trade away Monopoly techs to me for a pittance.
He
Opens Borders at Furious, trades away
Resources for even a single 1 Gold per Turn, and will
sell up-to-date
maps of his troops' placement
for a mere 10 Gold.
He can be easily appeased from attacking me by acceeding to his
Demands for small lump sums of tributed Gold.
He rarely defends his Cities properly with Archery units and will often
garrison captured Cities with lame defenders like Horsemen or Cuirassiers.
He
tends not to Pillage, seemingly in hopes of capturing other players' Cities, meaning that if I can fend off his stacks, my lands will remain relatively intact.
He is terrible at a Space Race--I mean, he
doesn't even prioritize The Apollo Program and the Casings. What is he thinking?
And as for The Apostolic Palace and The UN elections, if he is one of the candidates, he
sometimes won't even vote for himself! What a fool!
When it comes to a
Cultural Victory, he risks everything by
stopping research well before Rifling, relying on other players' goodwill to carry him through. Such a lovely target he makes!
As for Domination, he has this silly tendency to
give-away some of his conquered Cities so that he can grow his population and perform some silly tactic that he keeps referring to as "collecting a beverage from the cows" or some other such nonsense.
If I tell him that I
fear that he's becoming too advanced, all of a sudden he'll
start a military unit build-up and come after me.
He's
too dumb to spend a lot of effort building Espionage Buildings, so I can often see exactly what his Cities are up to.
He also
really loves to spread around my Religion for me--it is so simple: all that I need to do is send a single Missionary to him and he'll do the rest! Of course, it seems that whenever I build a Holy Shrine, he will get this evil-looking glint in his eye, so I have learned to settle my Great Prophets or to try for other Great People instead.
For some reason, he
ignores all of the best Wonders that I love to get, such as Stonehenge, The Statue of Zeus, The Shwegadon Paya, The Temple of Artemis, The Great Wall, and most importantly, Chichen Itza, even when he has a tech monopoly on the relevant techs. What is he thinking?
He also seems to be
in love with founding Confucianism. It must be his Favourite Religion in the XML.
You can count on him to
beeline Liberalism, making him a ripe target in the Medieval Age.
If I am sneaky, I can get him to trade me Education and will
beat him to Economics 2 out of 3 times. He seems to be content with getting Liberalism and The Taj Mahal. Me, I prefer my free Great Merchant.
He's also generally
too cheap to upgrade his troops--I don't understand why--I'll upgrade my troops at just about any chance that I can get! You never know when the enemy might come for you, so you'd best be prepared!
I can
consistently beat him to The Space Elevator 9 times out of 10. The 10th time is when we're playing Warlords or Vanilla.
He is
a sissy in the late game. I can count the number of times that he has nuked me or any other player on one hand.
He is also
overly worried about his reputation and if I can get other players to like me, then he will hesitate to attack me. Such foolishness! If you want a fight, come and get it, and my allies and I will take you on head-to-head!
If him being a World Wonder hogger wasn't bad enough, it seems that he wastes his time
trying to find a use for just about every National Wonder. Play the game already and quit calculating which location will have the most base Hammers or Food!
He
used to be a good player that Cottage-spammed the world. These days, he foolishly skips building a lot of Cottages. In fact, he doesn't even abuse the most well-known top tactic of the game: building Cottages until they mature into Towns and then paving-them over with Farms! I mean come on, what kind of a player are you if you can't use this game-killing tactic!?!
