While you can arrange a meeting with the players you are in contact with, you can't have more than the most basic intelligence about their civilization without establishing an embassy either by pact or with a diplomat. If the player is an AI player, and they are not cooperating, you can usually find out why by trying to arrange a peace or alliance with them.Using the menus, decide on what you want to give another player, or what you want the other player to give you (see pacts).Select the player you wish to engage in diplomacy with.Go to reports -> players (or hit the F3 key).Once you have met another player, you can engage in diplomacy with them as follows: To meet another player entails having one of your units be adjacent to a city or unit of that player. In order to establish diplomatic relations with another player, either AI or human, you must first meet them. For Diplomacy in the Multiplayer ruleset click here.)
When the French take two border cities somehow, then take another two inland cities, his AI just forms a defensive line, not bothering to strike back.( This page is for Classic ruleset. Two units, a barracks, and city walls in every city, instead of the two barracks and 5-10 units he needs. He instead decides to see what the AI does to his precious plan. He practically has the game won, and can literally have it won by 1 AD. continue to expand, while building up the central citiesīy 1740 BC, he has Explosives and Engineers are connecting his cities with railroads. build Michelangelo to allow city growthġ0. develop Explosives (engineers!) to compensate for the Pyramidsĩ. expand to defensible border zones, fill in the inland ('moyo') laterĨ. meet approaching settlers with diplomats, convert the city as soon as it is built (cost: below 50, 5. build supply routes as the empire growsĤ. keep cities to size 3 or 4 to avoid having to build improvementsģ. The plan is practically failsafe, once you survive the initial stage.
But if I have a city in a certain terrain configuration, and the enemy has the same thing, same population and worker distribution and everything, then both cities should take exactly the same amount of time to build a warrior unit. Or that the enemy makes more optimal choices such as deciding to build farms first, or expanding as fast as it can, if that was the optimal strategy. Higher difficulty levels would mean the enemy has greater starting resources and you have fewer.
I'm outperformed from the very start by every single AI civ even on the easiest difficulty and when I have a perfect start location and settle on my first turn.Īnd when I said earlier about Deep Blue, I didn't mean that I expect the game to actually have good enough AI to beat the human player. The cheating AI makes it simply unplayable for me. By save-scum I mean I shut down the program and start it again, loading my save file, to get a new result)
(And yes I understand that the game seems to save RNG results. The AI clearly not only cheats on production, but on combat rolls as well. And then an enemy regular warrior will wander over and slay one of my full-health regular warriors on save-scum after save-scum. I'll attack with warrior after warrior (all regulars), save-scumming to get the best possible outcome, just to kill a single non-fortified enemy regular warrior. Yeah, I also noticed that it seems like the combat mechanics are funky.
