    Is this dirty or should i expect this in a game?

    I have been in games where people build on my specials, which almost defeats the purpose of looking for the four special patern unless they are in the water. Is this considered fair play? I find it appalling when someone lands on my gold with a pike and god only knows what else and you can't remove them.

    And Ming, dont' give me one of your wailing laughs please

    It can really ruin a great city. Anyways, obviously there are ways to combat this but still, gr.......

    I guess i should look for other peoples specials, no wonder i always build on mine

    It's a provocative act. To say the least. Tell 'em to bugger off or else.

        If they know you're there, it's provocative. You're entitled to prepare for war.

              HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

              Yes, I will build on your Gold (or any other special) if you leave it unguarded. It's a good way to screw people that take advantages of four or three patterns.

              And yes, you can take it as an act of war... Because frankly, that's exactly what it is!

              HA HA HA HA HA!

                Just because the AI is too dumb to do this doesn't make it wrong. You'll find some players who are extremely aggressive; if that style bothers you, don't play those people. You may be able to find a group who prefers a nice peaceful game. My opinion: MP games, especially duels, are zero-sum games. Weakening your opponent's civ can be just as effective as strengthening your own. The ideal situation is where both happen at once: you steal the gold from your opponent's city so your own city can use it.

                Expect human opponents to do things the AI never dreamed of. Defense is very important in MP; many times the best defense is a good offense .

                  Through either threat or force they must be moved. Not doing so is a sign of weakness.

                    I'm a gold hungry bastard... I always leave my specials guarded well if they're near the coast or into enemy territory, some of them I just build right on top of especially gold and iron...

                      Some seem to pay more attention to what you are doing than what they are doing!! I don't know if such a thing is really a low blow in the sense of being unprincipled, but it is irritating, as is building cities very close to your own.
                      Did they trade maps with you before doing so, or were they just nosing around? If so quit trading maps with them... hehe

                      I would rather go over when there is a good possibility of taking a city before I would go over and harrass it.

                      Once someone made trade routes from many if not most of his larger cities with two of mine. They were about size 8 and developed a bit, but I starved em down and rushed settlers in combination, selling off the stuff inside, and re homing the settlers to other cities till the 2 cities being traded with were disbanded. Then rebuilt them and used the extra settlers to get them up over size 3 and WLPD back into shape.
                      This was costly to me but most satisfying to hear the response when he realized most of his trade routes vanished!

                          If i can build a city withing 2 squares of someones capital, I'll do it every time. If it's gold, that's the icing on the cake. If it's their wonder city, you can really screw with their heads. And if you get to espionage, you can really trash their capital, and the spy will usually return to the city for more fun the next turn. I've made people move their capitals with this type of annoying behaviour.

                          Also another reason why it's not critical to have your capital be a four special city. I'll build on the special so I don't have to worrry about it.

                              LOL whiner eh? I was just curious as to what everyone thought. I agree that it is a great way to aggravate you opponent as well as steal his resources even if you just plant a cat and pike on the gold.

                              I shall have to add this to my repitoire then
