I didn´t see any mention of fixing the AI under Communism. It´s fun one game see them whip themselves back to the stone age, but in the long run it´s simply annoying.

Why, they set the unhappiness time back to 20 turns as it was pre-1.17f. That should make it. The effect you mention came only with the last patch and the increasing of the unhappiness time to 40.Comment

Great, seems I missed that.

Also, judging by previous patches, not all changes to the AI's behaviour get mentioned in the readme. If the AI was slightly less inclined to draft itself into oblivion under communism, that might not be get a mention.Comment

Tech trading is nicely reduced, and the AI seems to want even more in trade, 6 techs of mine for their lousy monarchy.Grrr | Pieter Lootsma | Hamilton, NZ | grrr@orcon.net.nz

Extortionate and crazy AI trade demands were one reason I rarely traded with 1.17.

Frack. Have I got the God's edition of the game again? I got Literature for Contact with the Persians on a Tiny Pangea Map. I was ripped off. I should have got Literarture for 1 Gold!(\__/)

Abandon is JUST that.
I tested with a one pop city and, after confirmation, instantly I had a warrior crouching naked on the plains. So I tried it with larger city. My capital in fact. The difference was that I had spearman standing fortified with nothing else to show for it. So the city simply vanishes. Not a good way to get rid of a large city.
Sure is quick though.Comment

Hmm. I can only see two uses for that function. One is the free palace jump. The second could be to keep a newly-conquered for a few rounds to let your units heal (especially if you have Sun Tzu´s) before you raze the city. But since you lose the workers I think it will be worthwhile only in smaller cities.Originally posted by Ethelred

Abandon city...
You get diddly poo for abandoning a city. No workers or settlers. I don't see it being exploited.

For the free palace jump it's actually better the old way: build settler at pop. level 2, no food surplus. Advantage: you can immediately resettle on the (usually attractive) old capital's location.
Don't see a real immediate use for the abandon option, haven't played 1.21f yet though. Might work out fine for Aeson's ICS ?

Re: Abandoning a conquered city
Has any seen a negative affect from abandoning a conquered city (as opposed to razing?). I am assuming here that you can abandon one. If you can, and there are no diplomatic setbacks to abandoning as opposed to razing, that makes it the premier choice for getting rid of those annoying enemy cities when you are willing to forgo a few extra workers to avoid a diplomatic hit.Fitz.

I think the abandon option came from those annoying tiny non-growth cities you swallow with culture. I always hated wating 20 turns to grow settlers, i'd much rather just kill it. Also, sometimes you don't know if there's a wonder inside the city, so you take it instead of raze it, but then find out theres diddly squat inside and there's 10 resisters throwing fruit at you everyturn
then the abandon function would come in handy.

You get nothing? What happens to the population? They all get teleported to the Klingon home world, or all commit suicide by drinking the purple Kool-Aid like with Jonestown??
How dumb.Comment
