This might be true or it might not.

Culture! if you have a lot = take over nea by citys early in game.

It seems the computer (higher then chief) likes to build near you and take your natural resources from you. So If your culture takes them over you get them!


OF course, we all know that. But here is my question to all of you... DO you think by taking over the citys with culture angers that other civ? there by down the road declaring war on you? Or you think that war is inevitable?

I think was is inevitable, personally, weather it be a smaller level or higher.

Since the city (and citizens) willingly joined your civ, it would make sense that the other civ would not get angry. You know, being in awe of your culture and all. Just a guess.
I think there are a lot of things like this going on that we are unaware of that will make the game very deep strategically. Kinda like a UN strategy where you gift other civs to make them love you, and hence vote for you. It's a feeling I have abou this game. I am a proud member of the optimists club.

[MonarchyMajor]

yes

yes, I am fan of this game. I like the AI very much, much more realistic and challanging. This game might be A LOT more depper then we thought it would be. Maybe one of the firsxis guys could enlighten us.(as the greeks would say )

[treedom]

Now why would you want them to do that? Finding out how this stuff works by playing is half the fun

[MonarchyMajor]

aah

treedom, I see your point

although you must admite, it is a bit scarey not knowing how real this AI might be!!!
