peaceful AI

[Enriquillo]

Yes, it's true.

I just started up a game half an hour ago to check on some wonder info.
Now what do I find when I return?
The game is 31 minutes underway, my three farmers are still going at it, as are my woodcutters.
The AI hasn't attacked me during all this time!
I see an airbase next to his Pyramids at the other side of the map as well as an anti aircraft passing by

I feel something nasty is going to happen soon though

What difficulty level?

Just be prepared. If the AI does attack, things can get hectic real fast, especially if he brings an ally along too.

I played one game, where no one attacked until the industrial age. Then, I enter the Modern Age, and within seconds, I was attacked by two nations, lost a city, and caught in the middle of two AI's lobbing nukes at each other! OUCH!

maybe it was Boom AI ? 31 minutes is still a lot, maybe a bug ?? maybe..oh wait

Its probably programmed not to attack until you are at least slightly built up.

What?? bring an ally, I only had what I started with, I didn't build anything nor did I scout or research anything. I just forgot to quit the game 30 minutes earlier.

I thought so also..I was trying a huge infrastructure buildup..and got caught with it in my zipper

The ai has attacked every game I have played as soon as the age possible..(I usually play "Peace until period X")

I mean..they come quick and fast!!

Buildup or not...

At least thats what happened to me!!

Peace

I find the AI knows when you're simply not a threat and will sometimes ignore you. In one game france was left with two towns in the medieval age while the rest of us tossed nukes back and forth. In another *I* was left alone after it bcame clear I was stuck in industrial age while THEY all marched ahead (well they left me with two towns too)... Once I tried to grab anymore territory (through forts or whatever) the AI clamped down HARD on me...

It makes it a LOT more fun to know you're impotent but still alive because they have betetr things to do... until it's just you and them or you piss them off.

Was it a diplomacy game?

The kind of AI thinking is very Civ-like. If you're #1 on the graph, you get attacked.
