The AI sometimes builds paratroopers in my games, and never for paradropping. It's usually at a time when the civ in question is down at the mouth. I recall the first time I saw one, wondering "what the hell is that cool unit, and how come I don't have one?"

I have yet to see AI paratroops. So I can't argue here.Grrr | Pieter Lootsma | Hamilton, NZ | grrr@orcon.net.nz

I wipe out the AI too early for them to be able to use paratroopers. But in the few cases where they can, I haven't had that problem. They're getting tanks, tanks, and yep... tanks to reinforce their killer spearman regiments."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." -- Benjamin Franklin
"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." -- Thomas Jefferson

Does the AI finally upgrade its units in 1.21? It's a change that would make the AI slightly tougher, and, IMHO, one of the easiest to implement.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

In my game i'm in the early-late modern era and the AI continuously churns out tons of paratroopers....why!? Surely tanks would be a more sensible and profitable option for conquest especially considering the AI never actually uses the airdrop feature of the paratroopers!?
Anyone else been finding tons of paras and very little number of tanks appearing from the AI?
could you give more info , as who you play , map , tech's ya have , the ai has , etc , ....???

Never even seen the para unit. On regent an above AI just FLOODS me with modern armor. Lost half my (large) empire in one turn when 6 (yes 6 ) countires declared wor on me simultaneously then beat me to the ground like a scared little girl. And I HAD been winning....Get 84 Resources, 96 Resources, or the NEW 153 Resources! Get Rockier Bonus Grassland versions1.0 or 2.0! Get My Mix of Snoopy and Womocks early terrain! Get Varied Goody Huts!
Upcoming Mods - Optimator (with over 1000 new units!!!) & Godzilla, Revenge of the Kaiju!
I am in dire need of new dino and Kaiju units!

I saw one game where the AI just kept cranking out Marines... they work well as an offensive unit before the advent of tanks. Of course, that didn't save the Zulus when I came along.Dom Pedro II - 2nd and last Emperor of the Empire of Brazil (1831 - 1889).
I truly believe that America is the world's second chance. I only hope we get a third...
