I treat that as an exploit even though the AI does it. I just figure that is too powerful to use.

The AI doesn't actually use RoP rape. It may attack you when you have a RoP in place, and it may use that to get 1 unit into your core region to take a city, but the AI will never move it's entire army into position and then attack.

quote: Originally posted by GhengisFarb One of the biggest factors in holding an enemy city you have just captured is how many tile in its radius you control. Every tile in the city's radius is calculated towards the potential culture flip based on who controls it. If it is under a civs cultural control that civ get a point for it unless another civ has a unit on it. If a civ has a unit on a tile THEY get the point for it, not the cultural controller. I have built huge numbers of Spearmen and fortify them on all the tiles of the enemy city and just wait for it to culture flip. It is a very slow game, but I am just playing it to see if it is possible to win through not attacking.

Arrian, I've seen the AI use a ROP-rape with great(but futile) effect. I lost 20+ workers to it once. May have been a coincidence but I didn't have a single worker left on that continent afterwards. All of them were deep inside my territory and in small groups(2-4).

I do an awful lot of fighting, but I go out of my way to avoid breaking treaties (usually... if I see a benifit in breaking a treaty and I think I can pull off The Deception, I'll do it). I don't tend to start razing cities until the industrial age. But I have razed an entire continent before, because they pissed me off (they = England). Every city, every tile improvement. Gone. You never were, Liz! -Arrian

I'm with ya Arrian! I recently finished a game where I razed all of Liz's cities (after nuking a good portion of them) because she was such a bloody wench!
