Colonization, hurried production; culturally conquering a region

Touché.

Well, the AI doesn't... Fosse... it doesn't rush build temples, cathedrals, libraries, etc in order to convert surrounding cities.

Right... as I said, they stop at the spearman and don't rush anything. Really, I should't have been saying that they employ the cultural conversion... but they certainly make a beeline for those 1 or 2 open tiles... which is just so annoying.

Odin, you are aware of the fact that the AI always knows where your units are so you cannot 'hide' outside his radar range?

I thought the AI just didn't have a fog of war and knew where resorces were before it discovered the right tech, DOH!

I feel so for the lone programmer.

Yes it is. I especially hate when I'm annihilating an AI, another one comes and builds a city in my newly conquered land.

@ Mountain Sage

If the AI builds cities in locations where the civ I have attacked used to have a cultural radius, I just take that to mean

"Hello! You should attack us next with all those battle-hardened troops. Here's an easy to capture city to get you started. I'll see YOU in our capital..."
