Wetlands

[Lord Emsworth]

Now it is at least:

What's the deal with that?

 

[Tomoyo]

I've never seen two rows of irrigation... Must've been a really stupid AI or two separate simultaneous equally stupid AIs.

 

[Lord Emsworth]

I guess there are two different workers - of the same civ though (America) - who have been ordered to build an irrigation to the city.

 

[adog]

That's alot of wasted turns!! Do you think you can get some settlers there before anyone else?

It wouldn't work that way -- an AI will always irrigate the shortest (and same) route from the water to the target. Two different workers ordered to do the same thing would simply irrigate the same squares and get the job done twice as fast.

EDIT: Actually, maybe you're right. I think it's more likely that each worker was ordered to irrigate to different cities, one seen hidden in the fog, the other behind/north of it. After all this civving, I thought I knew the AI...

Hey, Tomoyo is back!

Weird screenie there Emsworth. I've never seen anything like that before.

 

[Mirc]

The AI is never going to know what it's doing ... It's one of the weirdest screenshots I've seen.

 

[Naththebat]

that was a very weird screenshot and isn't that impossible that that can happen?

It happened

 

[Padma]

Obviously it's not impossible.

And why should it be? There's nothing inherently wrong about it, it just looks wasteful. But, then again, we *are* talking about the AI here ...

Yup..a human player would've just made one row...but the AI....

 

[Tomoyo]

Of course, he could've made that himself... you never know whether the human is on crack...

Could've....

But I prefer to take his word for it

 

[Naththebat]

That would've been a very stupid Al that could hav done that because i agree with Toyomo.

Each to his own then.. I still prefer to trust

 

[Tomoyo]

Toyomo.

Perhaps Lord Emsworth would best drop a word or two to clear things up..

About what?

They think you might've had done that irrigation.
