Ok - I've played a lot of civ, both sp and pbem's. I've never encountered this before. Has anyone else?

And weirder yet...
As the Babs I have to settle on that spot before the Greeks do. So I build Babylon - and lookee here.

Has to be something seriously wrong. I play the first turn. The French settle right next to my border - which I understood the AI would never do. And they mysteriously have a warrior. Could be a very quick game. And the Greeks never moved. Me thinks this game may be corrupted from the start. Any idea on how this happens?Attached FilesCry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

3750 bc. The greeks never move, but they trade alpha for c-burial and 7 gold. Hello??? A chines warrior then wandered in last turn, and I traded alphabet for masonry. On turn 5, I capture the Greek settler and worker. Very bizarre.Attached FilesCry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

Hit him with the shovel!!!
Ohhh....
Very weird, never seen anything like it, including the French ICS move. Did you demand that the Greeks leave?The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

At Monarch or above the AI should start with troops. At least warriors, the number and types vary per level and civ.
I have not seen that at a map that large.Comment

Well, it should make for a VERY quick game Beta!

Did I ask them to leave. No. Partially because I was still in a state of shock, and secondly because I expected them to move. I suspect the start-up was bugged up somehow, and once the Greek settler ended up in within my borders - there is no AI logic to get it to move. That is probably what led the French to settle where they are. Fom this - I suppose one can conclude that the AI settles on whatever tile they start on, rather than moving to a more favourable position at the cost of a few turns.Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense.

Ok - is after dinner and I play a few more turns. I look at the histograph and the Greeks have respawned. And in 3400 they show up with a hoplite and two warriors. What gives?
And I was thinking of taking Paris. Silly me. Be lucky to hold Babylon now. This is a truly warped game.Attached FilesCry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

I've seen this, but only on pre-generated maps with little land where there wasn't enough room for the # of civs that was set.
Looks horribly bugged to me.
And, as vmxa said, where were the extra starting units??Comment

This was a straight-forward single player start. And it gets better. I manage to hold off the Greek attack with warriors and eventually a bowman which triigers my GA. Oh joy. I build more bowmen, and an one of my early attacks, he is upgraded to elite, and soon after he kills a Greek bowman and we get a leader. So here is Agnum in Babylon. I can never tell whether I got a military or scientif GL. I always forget to notice what they say. So I move them to a city to see what to build. Ends up Agnum cannot rush the pyramids, cannot build an army, and cannot rush military units. He can rush walls which would take 2 turns to build anyway.
I'm tempted to play this one out to see what other surprises are in store. Then again - it is a bit frustrating. If any one wants the 4000bc start save, send me a pm. I tried to load it here, but the save file is too big.Attached FilesCry havoc and let slip the dogs of war .... aw, forget that nonsense. Beer, please.Comment

The extra units do not come, until they found their first city. In a respawn they will get the bonus units with the founding of the city. It is considered the first one again.Originally posted by Kloreep

Can't wait to see how this game pans out.

Yep, always settles on the first turn nomatter what.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
