I recently completed a game (relatively easy level) in which I was victorious in the space race. The interesting feature was that at no point in the game did I ever engage any civ in combat and no one attacked me. I was in the middle of two AI civ's north of me and two south of me. Because of that, I decided to play nice and wait until I was quite superior in technology. I only had 6 cities until near the end when a few flipped due to culture. I checked out many of the cities near me and they all had 5-20 military units ready to roll. I had 4 to 6 units per city. I made a few attempts at conquering a city with bombers, artillery, and infantry, but always ended up with dozens of units attacking the defeated city. I returned back to an earlier save every time. I ended up doing a speedy spaceship and passed up my competitors using the Space Elevator and better technology.
What went wrong? Why didn't the computer civ's fight each other? I was third in power most of the game. Why didn't they come and get me? Did I choose a setting that ensured too much niceness?
Thanks for any help.
