It's still pretty early in my game (BC) and I'm trying to kill the babylonians. I've watched the borders fairly tightly and I got all their citys, but they persist! So I call up diplomacy, and lo and behold they're still around. So here's what I don't get. I had considered making peace the turn before, and so had checked out their stats. In one turn that I'd destroyed their capital they founded a new city on another island (they don't have boats- they don't have coast cities!) gained 100 gold and a worker. I'm not whining, I just want to know if this is skill or if the AI is really just preserving them and if it would be pointless to pursue them to the ends of the earth.

I think if you wipe someone out early enough, they get "re-spawned" somewhere else. I'm not sure of this, so if someoen could confirm/deny this that would be great.

IIRC someone posted that when he took the last city of a civ, he saw a settler and military unit of that same civ spawn immediately somewhere else (I think it was in the thread about the savegame cheat )In een hoerekotje aan den overkant emmekik mijn bloem verloren,

It's spawning, and it does happen. It happened in Civ2 as well.Comment

Yes it does happen in the early game.Comment

Yeah, it happens, and it can really suck, because the "respawned" AI is still at war with you, but just got teleported far away and given free units, tech and gold. I got my butt kicked once by an empire I had destroyed.
They came back twice as strong, with units I couldn't build yet, and wouldn't talk to me because they were more powerful than I.
It's in the game to hamper the really early rush.

In a recent game on regent level (v1.16f), I captured the last Greek city about 1000 BC and they respawned 8 tiles away. In the end, I destroyed them a second time."As far as general advice on mod-making: Go slow as far as adding new things to the game until you have the basic game all smoothed out ... Make sure the things you change are really imbalances and not just something that doesn't fit with your particular style of play." - WesWComment

I've experienced respawning, once. It's a good thing.MonsterMan's Mod: http://www.angelfire.com/amiga/civ3/Comment

It's been a feature in every Civ game. It stops happening after a certain point, though I'm not sure what it is in Civ 3. Anyone know?Comment
