    Dancing Spies or delayed barb attacks.

    Ever had your spy having a dance off with an enemy spy? It can take up to 20 seconds before the strike sometimes which can be detrimental if your opponent is attacking you the same turn because there's nothing you can do! Same with the warriors climbing mountains to attack a barb!!

    The worst thing IMO is when you overrun legion armies. They keep on panicking in place and the cat army takes 'em out one by one. Every time that happens (quite often if the AI gets to survive for a while) I fell like throwing something at the TV ...

    I've had a single AI Warrior unit I found just standing in a field one time, moved my horses directly on top of them and it’s like they weren't even really there, I could even still see them under the horses. Moved so they were out of view then went back, still there, still couldn't attack them. Just made me want to kill them that much worse, had to go kick my neighbors new puppy just to feel better about it.

    Had my General I won decide to split off from my army and do his own thing tonight in an MP game, that was pretty annoying. When I loaded the army on a ship he even went scuba diving along several tiles behind. I guess it was kind of realistic like a real General would do, set back in his office pushing papers while other people do the real fighting and he gets all the credit.

    Never happened to me in MP yet, fortunately. But several times in SP.

    He can also climb mountains
    Yes it is yet another stupid MP bug. The GG will follow your unit 1 tile off in the same direction all the time after this happens. It even works giving 50% extra strength to any unit that happens to be on that tile. So you can use him if well positioned, juts not for his own army.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think they are always Roman settlers too regardles which AI you attack! It's usually the turn before the walk in! I played a game against Mario the other day and I took Tripoli with march horses. I knew he was going to attack me next turn but Saladin popped up beginning of next turn so I was slow to retreat back a tile and he attacked at the same time I moved. Cue invisible march horses! We were talking on chat and I'd sold out on those horses due to being on a two barb island so didn't have much else going for me so I attacked and was overrun -2.25 to 4.5 lol
