The AI bribed my capitol city!?

[geofelt]

I was on the way to a spaceship landing, and the vikings landed a spy and made rome(my capitol with many wonders in it) revolt!
Fortunately, I had gold to move my palace, and a spy with gold available to take it back.
---I thought this was impossible--- this was 2.42

[Gatekeeper]

Were you playing a scenario of some sort? Or a game where the rules were even just a bit "personalized?"

I ask because I've seen it happen at the Emperor level on my games on occasion — Macintosh version.

Gatekeeper (and, hey, one time I had the AI bribe a city with 60 divisions of armor and howizters in it ... don't ask me where they got the money ... cheat, y'know)

[Scouse Gits]

geofelt ... do you have a save to post just before this happened?

---------------------

SG(2)

[Hydey]

I did not think this was possible

[DrSpike]

Are you using the MAC version? If not what 'tweaks' have you got in place?

[rah]

Yes, a save would be nice. This couldn't have been a normal game.

[geofelt]

I did not think to go back to the autosave. This was a normal game, pc version, no mods, on 2.42. Earlier in the game, I double clicked on a square, and I got a message of some sort of a suystem problem and inviting me to continue or abort. I continued, thinking I could use the autosave, later if needed, but everything seemed normal. This was perhaps 20 or 30 turns earlier.

[Heresson]

Well, I was playing a 1-city game once. It was going hard, but I had some 4 wonders in my very big and modern city,
and it was spaceship time, when a (I think it was a viking one as in your case, but I may be wrong) bribed it and destroyed my civ! I was furious.

[rah]

Interesting. Never ever heard of it before this thread. Now I really want to see a save.

[Heresson]

I think I reloaded, spot the spy and destroyed him, and continued the game. so don't count for it.

[War4ever]

too bad you dont have the save....... i have never had my capital taken by revolution before.....

impressive if true...and something new

[Gatekeeper]

It happens on the Mac version now and then, too, and only on the Emperor and higher levels.

[War4ever]

i learned something new...... seems this is habit forming the last while

[rah]

I'd like to hear of a PC version example, that didn't include a system error during the session.

[Elephant]

Could the Spy have sabotaged the Palace?

I did not think this could happen, either. Especially in OCC. We need to see a SAV.
