Post your experience here when an AI walks in on your cap.
Here's a recap of what I posted in another thread:
Playing as China, walked a bit, picked up friendly, settled next to a 1 flag barb with a USA AI on a hill on the other side of me. Rushed warrior, took down the barb for 30g and USA walks in next turn.
REM018: "I don't think the strength argument is valid since warriors pass on your empty cap all the time right after you settle. Let's say you settler walk, settle 3300BC next to an AI warrior and make peace. It will always pass on your empty cap even though the AI is "stronger" (1 warrior vs. no units at all)."
In my case, it didn't pass on my cap. So I don't think it's a guaranteed "always" like the pre-2000 BC, 2:1 barb scenario.
Maybe the A.I wanted to get to the barb hut and it turns out right through your city was the quickest route?
Aztecs and sometimes USA will walk in on you. Other civs won't.
I already took down the barb, so it was gone when he walked in.Originally Posted by HydroDragon
Always or usually? That's what I'm looking for.
And of course, we know the Zulu will too, if you haven't met yet.
Zulu will too... Has happened far too many times for my liking.
india will walk in pretty consistently. i think its how ghandi started his war monger persona.
Zulu only happens if they are 2 tiles away and accidentally walk in. If you initiate peace with them they will not. At least in my experience.
Don't forget the MongolsYou can ask Remo about that one
Me too. I tested it out once. Met the Zulu, left my cap open, and the Zulu went the other way.
If you make contact, they almost always walk the other way - almost :-( And by that I mean 99% of the time they do not take your empty cap. But yes, I had the Mongols take my empty cap with their only warrior at 3300BC. Totally uncalled for. I do recall that this happens sometimes with other civs too. Question is why? But this "phenomenon" is so rare that it probably does not warrant any effort trying to find out the reason why the AI does that 1 out of 100 times.
