ai arty and workers are unguarded when bombarding my invasion naval force and repairing roads and so are vulnerable to marine assaults. this should be plugged. when i want to create a beachhead, i have to bombard the hell out of a wide area so that the reinforcements do not push me to the sea in one turn. killing workers is essential and if LB is off, that can be done by marines. idle ai mech inf should guard them. usually, they happily stroll around while i am more than happy to capture them with my semper fi lads, disband the lot of them and then leave my marines to die heroically. i can sacrifine 3-4 marines and take out the whole work force they have.

Re: Re: ai and worker protection
Yes good point, however what I think LaRusso was trying to imply was that when invading another continent or island it is hard to ferry the workers back without having the ai recapture them. Better to kill them so that the roads to the beachhead are not repaired. A most excellent tactic! This reminds me of the Normandy landings during WW2!Originally posted by panag

LaRusso:
I never thought about prebombarding the roads before landing my assault force. Nice strat, one that I can't wait to try in my current game.signature not visible until patch comes out.Comment

Re: Re: ai and worker protection
In a current regent game as Persia, I've got a plethora of workers from razed enemy cities. I've got to wait a while for them to move each turn which is annoying. So, now (in this game) when I raze a city I disband the workers. I'm looking forward to them sleeping soon.Originally posted by panag

True, but my culture isn't dominating and wouldn't want to tilt it towards another civ. Also, I'm just now building hospitals so my cities will grow beyond twelve. If I join them in these, they'll starve anyway --- poor bastards.Originally posted by panag
