The reason for this behavior, is that all AI players play the game to win (i.e. exterminate everyone else) so if they see you taking the lead (top score) or a member of a powerful alliance, they will become perpetually hostile towards you. This is IMHO a quite depressing play style and effectively removes much of the fun in player vs. AI games for me. The most annoying part, I think, is the fact that far-away civilizations you meet late in the game are already in this terminator-mood - I guess through alliances with players hostile towards you. I wish that AI attitudes were decided through 1) your own action - i.e. attacks on their forces, or 2) strategical rivalry - i.e. control of fertile land or a body of water etc. Also that attitudes could improve through lack of armed conflict for a long period of time, bribes, or general changes in the political geography... Oh well, sorry about the rant. This is just the no 1 thing that kills the fun for me in single player Freeciv and I had to get it off my heart. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
