This is almost correct. You can expel him if he is closer to your city than to the nearest city that is not yours. (i.e. if he is in your territory, not some other civ's, with territory defined by the nearest city.) I have yet to determine how it calculates distance on diagonals.

[Scouse Gits]

The distance between points in Civ 2 was expounded in a post about 6 weeks ago - needless to say I can't just lay my hands on it, but from memory the distance is defined by taking the rectangle defined by the two points and adding together the length of the longer side and half the length of the shorter.

The AI cannot (in my experience) bribe a Democratic unit or city in version 2.42 and later (there was a bug that allowed this to happen in earlier versions).

As has been said above I believe that the AI needs 60% of human production only at deity when the human is in front on the powergraph under other conditions than this the AI needs a higher proportion ...

Keep up the good work

The AI can get more money than 30000. I saw the AI have something like 65535 gold, once.

AI can pillage and fortify the same turn

[debeest]

The AI changes freely between building improvements, units, and Wonders/spaceship, which I think players can only do at the lowest level.

Really? I was under the impression that it couldn't improve terrain even when it does have one.

I've frequently seen AI settlers working. Can anyone confirm that the AI doesn't need them? That would be bizarre!

[SandMonkey]

Simpson II -

It might work along the lines of how any AI unit can bribe, and yet I have mostly seen AI diplos doing the dirty work for cities and such. Maybe the AI just uses a different unit when there are absolutely NO settlers around.

HOLY **** HE'S RIGHT! I have a save I think...

I was testing the winning every 7th battle (something that obviously doesn't work) and I stumbled across this by accident!

I did active the cheat menu, but I only used it to increase the size of the city, make a barracks and harbor, 1 mine and 10 vet phalanxes and one battleship... the irrigation and roads was done entirely by the AI, I have 2 saves of this... I guess city size has something to do with it since the other civ built a settler (in two turns ) and started working... deity small map, I'll e-mail it to anyone who wants to see or post it on their site, sorry I don't have the time to do this myself...

[Caesar]

Furthar testing proves this to be true! Once the city grows to another size improvements are automatically done! This also uses the cheat menu, but I'm not sure how else you can really tell... but I'm sure others will get the same results, just wait for a city to grow a bit, then it'll start automatically irrigating and roading squares! Without settlers! If you don't beleive me try it for yourself, just turn on the cheat menu, reveal map, then just watch... the cities will irrigate/road without settlers! Otherwise I can e-mail you my saves. I'll have them zipped in 5 mins...

[SandMonkey]

I stand corrected... and jeez, that's probably one of the most blatant AI cheats I have heard yet!

[Caesar]

Yeah I know, I was surprised by it... sorry I don't have the time to put it up on a site right now... I got it zipped and all, but I don't have the time for a site... maybe I can send it to someone and they'll do it for me?

[Sten Sture]

I haven't reviewed Ming's Civ3 cheat thread for a while; there has to be some AI related stuff in there that is being missed.

(having trouble with your dl caesar...)

The deity production/food cheat is a handycapping, and is documented as being intended. Should that be excluded from this list?

When the AI founds a city it will sometimes get a square irrigated and roaded right from the start. I am not sure what causes this. I used to think it was because of a lack of grassland squares, but I don't think that is the case now.

I had not seen that the AI doesn't pay maintenance. Has that been thoroughly tested?

AI fighters & bombers crash all of the time. Check out Xin's strategies for making it happen in his RedFront and Lord of the Rings scenario posts.

Oh, i can show you a way in which the HUMAN player can cheat.
