Sometimes, I purchase a tile not because I want its resources/yields, but because I see units of another civilization (almost always, settlers) trying to reach certain part of the map, and if I buy that tile, they won't be able to get there. Is the AI also able to do that?
A little while ago I was trying to reach a city state far from my territory with four emissaries going together. Everything was going fine, I knew the path to get there easily. And, in the last step, bam! The tile I needed free to get to the city state was now Siam's property. Damn, I was so close. Now they have to take a huge detour to reach that city state. The next turn, I was going to cross Genghis' lands with my scout, and then... bam! Another tile that is not free anymore, and another detour.
Am I just having bad luck? Or is the AI mocking me?
