Is the AI menatally impaired?

[Graadiapolistan]

I was playing continents regent normal size Im sumeria, the celts, egyptains, spanish, Zulus

I came in contact with the Celts first, they were polite towards me, then the Spanish- both on my continet, they both liked me Im trying to win diplomatically- i make right of passage.

I meet Egypt on a small ok contionet with no iron or horses, only thing was wine. Then i met the Zulus on a huge contitnet by themselves, they hadn't settles all of it, so I started colonizing, so did the spanish

s=spanish
z=zulu
c=celts
m=me
e=egypt
u= unsettled
k= unknown to me


S

Anyway I have a right of passage with evryone
They are all polite towards me- egypt moves a boat to an unguarded city of mine (i only have 2 unguarded) I figure she wanted to settle somewhere
SHE ATTACKS MY CITY!!!!!!!!!!!!

???????? I'm also stronger than her!! I send all the other countries to war with her allied with me

Will I still be able to win diplomatically? and WTH was Egypt thinking

sorry the spaces didn't work, how do I post a clip?

 

[Bluemofia]

Hit print screen and paste it into paint. Then save it as a JPEG image, and upload it.

Also, putting the text between [ pre ] and [/ pre ] (without the spaces) will make it work.

Just don't leave your cities unguarded. Is Egypt attacking that city smart? Only if they had beefed up their defenses and made the proper prepartions for a counter-attack beforehand. But, of course, the AI will never do that, so that is what makes them dumb.

 

[Dachs]

The AI are all biased toward attacking an undefended city, if only for a free city. Obviously, it/they can't plan into the future.

 

[Graadiapolistan]

Theydestroyed it itthey didn't capture it

for the first half of the game the celts could have easily taken many of my cities
THEY WERE POLITE TO ME!

 

[Graadiapolistan]

the city that was destroyed

After

Before

?
I saved it as a jpeg

 

[Tomoyo]

You have to upload it first.

 

[Graadiapolistan]

this is what they did to my city and a map of what this world looks like on the bottom left. I'm light blue, yellow is egypt, dark green is celts, black is zulu, and white is spain

This is a few turns before egypt declared war on me- I'm lucky I happened to save it then

This is after egypt declared war on me

 

[Graadiapolistan]

Maybe i'm a complete idiot, i uploaded them, in preview they didn't come out i decided to try to post! What do I do!? they are uploaded do i just type in the name w/out the .jpg? This can't be hard. And i'm usually good with computers!

 

[Graadiapolistan]

Atleast they came out kind of

 

[Graadiapolistan]

hehe

 

[Graadiapolistan]

Woo! it worked

 

[Grille]

lol, evil Cleo...
But all that wealth production there, yummy. Would have lured me in, too.

Seriously, dropping a unit or two next to a city is a common AI method. Plus, a ROP is always somehow risky, so don't sign blindly.

 

[Graadiapolistan]

Whenever I sign a rop, and i break it every country hates me, won't the ai see this and not go to war becaue everyone will hate egypt? or is the ai too dumb to know I am more powerful and have 3 othwer alies if they decide to backstab me!!?!? those damn egyptians!!! they will rue the day they crossed me!!!!!

p.s. i don' twant the celts to get anymore powerful, I want spain to capture most of egypt's cities, is there anyway to stop the celts from expaning madly into the territorry of the egyptians?

 

[BasketCase]

Just shows that the AI's are as conniving and backstabbing as real leaders are.

When you're losing the game (as Egypt is, from your attached screenshots), what do you do? You go after the biggest threat on the map and try to do damage to it. That's what Egypt did.

How many human players are out there who simply swallow their pride and let somebody else win a Civ3 game in order to have a peaceful and happy and prosperous world?? Not many.

great pic - I actually laughed out loud

If they had attacked spain the second weakest- I probably eou;d have helped them- now they have the entire world against them the egyptians are a bit

so why didn't they try to enlist allies and attack another comp?
