See, THIS is yet another reason not to buy CIV! The AI never makes moves as priceless as that! Who needs Artificial "Intelligence" when you're already got so much of it right here!

Thing is, I've never seen the Vikings do anything like that before! They always seem to sneak a 'zerk into one of my undefended coastal cities... More fool them!
Sometimes the AI make no sense at all:
The Caravel came right out of the fog, I had no idea it was there. So the Vikings decide to use their amphibious unit... to land on the hill next to an undefended city!
your tilesets look really nice. Which mod are you using?

I'm pretty sure that's watercolor, can't remember who by.
Perhaps the Vikings just had a little too much beer... 
And the one with 3 zerks and a mace is explainable- the AI doesn't know how to unload units one at a time, so they have to unload all at once. The mace can't unload into the city, and so must unload on the hill. Since the AI doesn't know how to unload the mace without unloading all the zerks, the zerks come out too.

I'm pretty sure that's Warpstorm's watercolor.
Ok, I've never posted in this thread before, clueless as I am about how to technically manage screenshots. I hope some picture will show up below, but I can't promise anything.
I was playing as Spain, and as Spain, I had never really known how to use that Conquistador. Then I came across this this peninsula. I think, if I would be at war with either the Aztecs or the Carthaginians, all of a sudden I would have the perfect use for the Conquistador...
What you see in the picture also by the way, is a Numidian Mercenary fighting itself to death against a barbarian camp, not allowing himself to heal between attacks. Another example of silly AI behaviour.

Yep I'm using Warpstorm's Watercolor terrain - otherwise unmodded C3C1.22.

I found this wonderful area and lost it as the Babs stole it even as my people were on their way there. I should get a later pic of my city's bordering theirs.
I have taken the cow and one wheat from the Babylonians by culture
so far
If I had been able to get control of it, I would have put a city on the closer hill (which is where I did put my settler) and another on the grass tile that is CxxC from the hill. Plenty of food for 2 cities to share.

Wow, the RNG is being very kind to us lately!
Doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Darski, you should really enjoy this one.
In a recent game as the Celts, I had Theodora as a neighbor. I built an embassy in Constantinople. Soon thereafter, I discovered . . .
I'm sure that you can imagine where the story goes from here:
Not to be deterred by such rotten luck, Theo persisted . . .
Well, Mother Nature was not about to be deterred, either.
Mother Nature had spoken. Apparently, Theo wasn't listening.
I was reminded of a scene from a Monty Python movie. At the moment, I don't recall whether it was the Life of Brian or the Meaning of live, but it's a medieval scene in which the lord of the manor wants to talk to his son (who keeps trying to break into song.) "They said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built one anyway. It sank. So I built a second one. It sank, too. So I built a third one. It burned down, fell over, then sank. So I built a fourth one. And it stayed up!"

I am going to spend the whole day laughing about that one. My friends are going to be calling "those guys" if I can't explain this well enough.
It was too long ago, but I think that came from Jabberwalky. If not then it was the Meaning of Life.

You can't beat a good Volcano story! 
Thanks Aabraxan.
Thanks Aabraxan.

Shooting from the lip....
Actually, Theo had really bad luck losing two cities to a volcano like that. How often does one erupt per game - every so-many thousand years? And each time the odds are 8/1 against that the city tile is the one polluted.
Aabra - the sketch was from the 'Holy Grail'.

Actually, she lost 3 cities there: Constantinople, Varna & Trebizond!
THAT was it! Thanks.
@ Optional -- You're welcome. It was my pleasure.
