Check this out,
One day last week I was playing with the editor and brainstorming about diffrent units. I thought that a Merc. unit that worked the same as a Privateer on land would be cool. Slip him in on a Gov. you don't like and have him pillage or cause general havoc without declaring war. Anyway, I picked the Explorer as that unit gave him a small attack, deffense, and 2 move to retreat if attacked. I also hid the nationality and under AI stratagies clicked "offensive". I played a little more with the Editor that night and went to bed.
Fast forward a couple days; I'm playing a 16 civ small map on Warlord and around 1500AD a funny looking white shaded unit shows up on my boarder
, why is that explorer white, I think. The next turn it jumps a nearby worker and he becomes a Aztec worker
. (Mind you at this point I've completly forgotten about what I did to the Explorer unit) "I've never seen the Explorer do that, was that in the manual"
. Soon the other four Civ's on my boarders jump into the fun, workers abondoned me in droves, I declare war to get them back............all hell breaks loose
.
Needless to say, I remembered what I did when I went to the Editor to check the specs. on the Explorer.
The funny thing is that the AI did things with the unit that I never thought of, It devoloped a stratagey of its own: Take my workers without a declaration of war.
So in closing, I think the AI will pick up on your mods. Lesson learned.
