Well, the Incans have done it again. They(of course) spawned on this continent far away from me, and ate up the Japanese and Celts. So they are the giant pink blob on the other side of the map. They have only a couple of unimportant late middle age techs on me, and we are both in the industrial age without any industrial age techs yet. So they decided that they'd just come and land a crap load of knights and pikemen in the middle of my northern territories. I missed the landing, so I didn't prepare, and they killed the archers I had defending those two cities. My ENTIRE army is on the other continent messing up the Zulu, so I'll have to use only newly built knights. This is highly irritating, and I don't even know if I'll continue. Blah! I'm sure I could defeat their landing forces, I just really, really don't feel like doing it-and then having to rebuild all the auto-destroyed buildings. Civ 3 AI is so peculiar in its actions. Normally it is so unable to land any force of consequence, and then it comes and does this! Screenshot:

The AI can be amazingly boring, but then again it an be amazingly challenging!
-- tones (9/1/2009) I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

Yeah.. I feel your pain. Unfortunately, you HAVE to keep at least a FEW Spearmen/Pikemen in your cities. Even the home ones. And it SHOULD be pikemen or higher. Archers stink on the defense. They're vicious with their horse units. Had a few on this game do an end run on me and steal some workers. Scooted RIGHT past my units.

Locus Coeruleus (9/20/2008) Dundein, sometimes the AI is surprisingly effective. Gotta hand it to 'em. You left your homeland undefended and got taken! tough like. LOL, your avatar.....is that the Pink Incan blob that wreaked havoc on ya? Bah! My first time on an archipelago map. I figured the AI didn't have the balls and I could pretty much forget about homeland defense. And a big indeed on the avatar. The Incans stalk me throughout all of my Conquests adventures (damn that bug!). They always seem to build the Pyramids, and that makes them a big dawg in soo many of my games.

But but but these were archers armed with uranium tipped arrows! Honest! They had been sitting in those cities since BC times when I was having major issues with barbs in that tundra, and I decided to just escort my settlers with archers so I could take some offensive action. Mistake!
