The Worker Steal

[Grashopa]

I just stole a worker from gilgamesh on a plains cow with roads - if the AI has 3 archers shouldn't he have killed my warrior the next turn?

I can't stand the worker steal, camp a warrior so the AI doesn't send out a settler nerf. Just wondering how its handled.

this is interesting. I steal workers whenever I can in the early going....I do see warriors move back on forth onto the worker's square sometimes. It might be cool if better AI could direct the build of an extra warrior (or other unit type) to protect them better. Maybe Defensive type cultures should do a better job of it?
