Culture Flipping doesn't get more ridiculous than this.
I led all as the Iroquois, but Greece Declared War with no warning (or apparent reason) anyway even though they had been "Polite" for centuries and we had just concluded a trade deal.
I crushed them. None too smart by their AI.
914 to 538 is the score, Iroquois to Greeks, and that difference is rapidly increasing owing to my military victory twelve turns earlier.
I have eighteen cities, and the Greeks just two. My Culture is very high, likely five times that of the Greeks. Sparta has a temple and library, plus the usual useless large garrison. My Military could swat the Greeks like a fly.
So what happens? Sparta flips, turns Greek, and the garrison vanishes. "Imagine"!!
No, I can't imagine. IT IS EFFING ABSURD.
So now I go to war, raze Sparta, but even the Indians will hate me as a "warmonger".
Another game ruined.
Obviously, Culture Flipping is determined ONLY by the PROXIMITY of one civ's laborers to their capital city, and no doubt some randomizing factor. It is truly a joke.
