The Most Annoying AI to play with

[st.louis39]

For me it's Isabella. She has to be the most annoying AI I have ever played with. I even like Genghis Khan better! Just like the real Isabella she aggressively encourages her religion.
She is always the reason I get into religious wars. She's Buddhist I'm Christian and she asks me to turn Buddhist. Then a few turns later it's war. So who do you think is most annoying?

 

[Hoticehunter]

Tokugawa's annoying just because he doesn't do anything with you ever unless by luck he picks up your religion.

 

[CCRunner]

Tokugawa and Monty all tie for first

Im playing a game against isabella at the moment.

I have tech lead (tanks/bombers to Infantry/cannons) but she pumps out so many units its crazy. Luckly I have jet fighters up against her blimps or I would be crushed by now, as it stands her units get pulverised on the march by bombers, so she cant make an offensive.

HOWEVER, on my offensive she suicides heaps of cannons against my tanks, and cleans them up with cavalry, so my offensive is stalled awaiting more tanks...

I just hope I can get a winning edge before she techs up to tanks or fighters, as that will really hurt. I should hopefully win a war of attrician though, as she uses many more units to kill my tanks...

 

[History21]

Tech whores like Mansa or Pacal. They can have like 20 cities and still keep up to me in tech.

 

[Silver21]

Tech monsters are really annoying too. Mansa Musa always seems to have a lead over me. Izzy is always horrible to be stuck with.

 

[unclethrill]

Izzy is a pain in the early game but in the late game on the upper difficulties Darius and Hatty can be real pains. Just as you get close to the spaceship they are popping culture.

Too much hate on izzy - she's very predictable and not particularly strong as an enemy. Attacks from her never come by surprise - if you're her religion she's not going to attack you, if you aren't it's not a question of if but WHEN.

I hate fighting shaka because he keeps massive stacks and is plenty aggressive towards other AI's also. Tech whores like MM can be a big problem if they start far away (HC falls into this category also). I'm also starting to hate willem because he culture whores but also techs decently, which means a thoroughly long trudge through his territory with often a lack of a solid tech lead. Very annoying.

I seem to hate annoying civs more than dangerous ones. Sitting Bull is also very annoying (he's a "gimme" ai), but Cathy is both...I do not like playing with untrustworthy massive REX tech trade happy aggressive backstabby cathy much. Ironically, I try to backstab her if possible as it's the easiest way to be rid of her.

Which sounds pretty damn annoying to me
Basically, if Izzy's in your game, you either don't bother founding a religion, or brace yourself for the war that's soon to come.

 

[LiberiGlacialis]

I've found Izzy not that bad the....two(?) most recent games. She spawned right next to me, and we became friends both times. 'Course, I hadn't founded a religion by that time....

Tech//Culture Monsters I hate the most. That, and a next-door Monty.

 

[PaulusIII]

Gilgamesh. He always gets in the way, is nearly impossible to dislodge at an early stage of the game, and is pretty strong (and aggressive) if you let him live.

 

[Itachi]

Louis. In every game I encounter him he never fails to tick me off. He allways seems to steal my wonders, found a key religion I wanted, or just plane stab me in the back. It seems like his only goal in life is to annoy me as much as possible.

 

[PimpyMicPimp]

I hate Sitting Bull blocking your expansion early on. He's a huge pain to deal with early in the game. Later on he fizzels, but he's so annoying early on. I hates him I do.

 

[cairnsy44]

Louis is my least favorite. Wonder-crazy and very demanding. Always looking for a free tech. I see him and know that it is a matter of time before I will wipe him out. Izzy is a good friend if you share a religion. But since I like to found my own usually, we are most often at odds. Monty is annoying, but predictable....he's going to declare war on you at some point. Hopefully, you can sic him on someone else first. Mansa is a dangerous opponent. Lately, my closest ally has been Hammurabi. 3 of my last 4 games have seen us friendly and allied against many others. I had to bail him out against Alex last time, which was too bad, because I was at pleased with him as well. I tried to tell them that Catherine was the person they should be worrying about! Eventually, I had to wipe out Catherine and Alex as well.

 

[Supr49er]

I agree with Mansa Musa.

 

[Rusty Edge]

Sitting Bullseye- he's forever making demands, and he's of little use.

 

[jdh79]

I find Suryavaraman to be the most irritating AI in the game. He is constantly backstabbing, declaring war on you for no real reason and making irrational demands. I think he is worse than Montezuma for the backstabbing. Zara Yagob and Charlemange also always seem to backstab me and played by the AI, Ethiopia and HRE seem to be the strongest civs in the game. HRE is very difficult to deal with because of the Protective trait and the fact they REX everywhere with their damn Rathauses.

 

[Turquoiside]

Izzy and Toky, with Monty far, far ,far behing in 2nd.

 

[Silver21]

Sitting Bull makes too many demands.

 

[thadian]

Catherine is the biggest 2-face, always negotiating pacts against me, and always build diplo pyramids against me out of my allies.

I also hate Victoria who is just useless should your colony spawn as her. Or of she is your vassal, she just keels over to die and never does anything to help you or send units when you tell her what city to attack.

But above all, I hate Saladin. He always demands me to change to inconvenient religions or civics.
