There is no lava on the city tile?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Forced AI palace jump!

You wouldn't see the polution as it is covered by the Fog of War.

Great stuff!

Now, isn't that about the stupidest place to settle?

The AI, near as I can tell, never moves it's initial settler. Blame the map generator.

There was a similar one at CFC some months ago, except it was well into the middle ages when Paris, in the middle of the prospering French empire, was blown to dust by a volcano.

True, it was their original city.

Once, I had the AI settle and be destroyed 3 times in the same tile. I felt pity and after the city was destroyed for the 3rd time I settled one tile away. The tile was a good tile wrt resources, but not good enough to settle next to a volcano.

Yes, it would have been their starting location. Although not a lot of land around, there was a better settlement site just one tile away, which would have had instant access to the fish.

It should have been named Pompeii instead of Babylon!

Only slightly worse than average for that map. Blame Mountain Sage's sadistic sense of humour

AI ignores risk of volcano errupting when deciding where to found cities and moving military units.

If anything, AI workers are attracted to volcanos, because the AI assigns a high value to clearing polution, and so especally in BC years, the worker send to clear polution from a volonic erruption may clear it up just in time to be killed by the next erruption.

No trick to it - he just noticed after the fact, and then reloaded the autosave to take the before pic, I imagine.

You imagine correctly

Same way I photographed the nuke descending on my capital in AU501. Now that's a good pic.....if rather distressing!

Didn't think about the preserve random seed option keeping the volcano going. You should have still taken the credit, Aqua.

Good pic Aqua, but this palace jump isn't a tactic, its the result of losing their capitol, no different than if it had been invaded. Now, if anyone has a pic of a voluntary AI palace jump, let me know.

Ah yes, of course you're right MB. Silly me, I hadn't thought of that.
