Mystic bombings?

[zama666]

Hello,

I am playing with the latest patch 117f. It is near the end of a game and I am getting pounded by something on my roads - it says 'improvement destroyed by Persian artillery' - except I see no ships or units around. Is this spying sabotage?

Plus when I attack cities with ships - they get damaged - I guess they have coastal fortresses. Also - I rarely damage them when I attack from sea - bacd chances?

Any comments?

Thanks,

Z

If you can't see anything, then you can be sure that the AI is actually using artillery against you (like the message says). Sometimes this fire comes from a nearby city, but most often artillery is parked just outside your view, protected by a single defender.

Send out a fast unit to scout, as the range-of-fire is only two squares (so it's sure to be near).

Also, if you have enemy unit animations turned off in the preferences menu, you won't see air attacks unless your forces intercept them.
