Post patch..1900 and still no wars..World Peace?

[elcapjtk]

Well my game has been a big, big war on a max land Pangea map

It started between me and the Zulus, then the Romans came to the Zulu side, then I got the Greeks and the Persians, then the persians got the russians, then Germany got on the Zulu side, ect. ect. So far this war has lasted 1500 years While I am at peace, I am slowly using my culture to assimilate the surrounding English, Greek, Chinese, Persians, ect

Always had wars, pre-patch, and post-patch. Somebody always declares one ... I think it depends on a number of civs and on a map - the more civs you have on one single continent, the more chances for war. :::shruggs:: but that's just a wild guess ...



Here's a riddle for Russians, Polaks, and may be other slav-brothers:

Ded-Moroz, Ded-Moroz - Ti podarki nam prines'?

In my current game as the Germans there have been wars.The first war versus the Russians began over a city site. Tensions remained high on my continent until the Russians declared war on me again (after I asked them to remove their troops from German soil). I crippled them during that war and wiped them out a few centuries later. The other nations on my continent were annoyed but refrained from springing into action. Now the Persians have attacked me so I'm off to wipe them out.

The other continents were mainly peaceful, except a large war that wiped out the Zulus.

According to Soren (AI programmer, Firaxis), it depends on how you play the game whether you have a lot of wars or not. The game supposedly adapts to your playing style, giving a different experience to every player.

Say, this may explain why certain posters complain of a sucky gaming experience.

It also probably depends on how many civs you play with.

I was playing on a huge map with 16 civs (including me) as the Egyptians. It was my stated goal from the start to be peaceful and start no wars.

I almost made it. I was lucky enough to have expanded quickly and had every resource in my home country (didn't have oil for about 2 turns and had to pay 4000 gold to get it from the French, but then an oil resource bubbled up from the ground right inside my northern border (whew!).

In any case, the only conflict I had before 1946 was a limited invasion from Russian horsemen in the dark ages (1100 or so) when Russia had conquered its continent and started to look for places to expand. They landed, declared a war on me, were wiped out, and never returned.

The problem came in the 1940's. I was the big guy on the block...a clear tech lead and getting close to starting my spaceship. I also refused multiple offers for Mutual protection Pacts as I did not want to get dragged into some petty war that did not affect me.

Well....eventually those MPP offers I rebuked went to other civs, and in short order the entire rest of the world was an entangled mess of MPPs. Then the Japanese landed a large invasion force in my heartland. I mean large. Several transports full of stuff. Not the kind of force I can laugh at....and more on the way. So my envoy goes to Japan and says "Hey...what the hell is all this? Get these foreigners out of my territory or declare war!"

Japan declared war. And in the course of untangling the MPPs, so did every single other civ in the game....all on me!

So much for a peaceful game eh?

In my preivous game I was attacked without warning twice by the Zulu's and once by the Aztecs, no mpp's. The whole game seemed to be a big war and when it started I didn't want it. Needless to say it took me too long to recover and i lost to score in 2050.

I am just finishing my first game ever, on Chieften level, with the patch. Its 2028 and there has not been a single war. I had hoped for space victory, so didn't provoke anyone, and no battle started between the other 7 civs. The only fight I was in was with barbarians at the very beginning of the game.

Truth is, I wish something had happened, because the game has become dull, but I'll just play it out.

Slax,

Sounds dull. Why not start a little war somewhere?

My guess is the AI is pretty unagressive on Chieftain level (which I have never played...so I am just speculating).
