mystikmind2000: Oh god no!
I don't want the AI to be so aggressive in the early game - but i would like it to be more aggressive once i am powerful... too bad i cannot put a timer on the aggression option - so it kicks in after a certain period of time.... that would be nice!
Edit: so yea, Civ3 the AI keeps coming at you hard even though you are powerful, that is the part about it i like, but not in the early stages of the game,,, that's why its such a hard game to play.
Lebesgue: This is actually pretty annoying in Civ3 in the late game. Often AI will have no cities save for couple crappy cities super far from your domain, but they keep waging war on you refusing any peace offers. You actually have to go out of your way and wipe them out but good so that you can get some peace and focus on developing tech or an actual war with someone worthy.
It is a nuisance and does not make sense. Do this civilization have no self-preservation instincts? They really want me to wipe them out in the next 10 turns.
You use diplomacy in civ games??? Personally i have better things to do than be insulted by idiocy, so i don't use diplomacy and wherever i have to give a response i always reply with "kiss my arse"
I don't use diplomacy in any of the civ games.
I don't use diplomacy in Alpha centauri
I don't use diplomacy in civilisation call to power
I don't use diplomacy in Civilization beyond earth
Yes there are some advantages to be gained, but its not worth the trouble in my opinion. I much prefer simply destroying unreasonable AI - the more idiotic and unreasonable the AI is, the more satisfaction i gain from destroying them.
I do use diplomacy in Gallactic civilisations! - there is an awful lot of advantage to it in that game... so much so that ignoring diplomacy is akin to playing two levels harder!
