List of AI Struggles: Can't ___ to save its arse.

[Ribannah]

Hmm, yes, I saw some in the OCC#17 scenario. Probably because I gave them the tech real early and they just grew on them

But they didn't have many aquaducts when we landed in 1716. Had some supermarkets though, but still no 'duct in cities with fertile land for up to size 30.

[Chainsaw]

Uh... what does all this "arse" and TSIA stuff mean...?

[Sten Sture]

Chainsaw -

TSIA is short for "To Save Its Arse."
Arse is the Brit slang for Buttocks, or Ass.
...to save its arse or ass is a colloquial phrase implying stupidity. Another way of saying it might be "could not ____ even if it's life depended on it."

Maybe one of the other Deutchlanders can give you the German equivalent.

• The AI loves to get its byte into our maps, but can't use the map to find its arse with both hands

Nope. None of you got it.
THE AI CAN'T WIN THE GAME TO SAVE ITS ARSE

[Ribannah]

LOL - and if it had two arses, it would stack them undefended ...

SilverDragon,

Oh, but the AI did win in my last game! OK, so I decided to OCC after founding my first city in a few hundred AD on a normal size map at Deity, but it's SS definitely would have arrived all of 2 years before mine! (if I hadn't been wiped out by a dozen bombers ) Perhaps I will not give it spaceflight next time..

Er, on topic

The AI can't wipe out a human player with one city and no walls TSIA.
The AI can't launch a SS first TSIA.
The AI can't avoid being hostile TSIA.
The AI can't set up trade-routes with a city producing 100 arrows/turn TSIA.
The AI can't build frotresses outside of a pre-arranged pattern TSIA.
The AI can't offload fast units from a boat onto a square next to a city TSIA.
