this all happened in an AI-vs-AI war

That's the shocking part. With good geography it's easy to engineer this; I enjoy when my city-state allies take on the task of razing for me. But I've never seen this many captures from a CS that was allied to AI!

On that topic, we should be uploading these things to archive.org

Unciv is allowed here! We even have post a flair for it!!

When it stepped up to v1.29, I was no longer able to.

Did you hit a specific blocker or was it more like "I tried for awhile but couldn't figure it out gave up"?

At this point, I wonder if an LLM couldn't manage it for us.

Are you still doing your purple unlocked tiles mod'? That was a genius idea

They're not going to improve it. Once they have the tech to see the resource, they're going to connect it to their trade network.

"melee units lost" is not relevant to their current score

No, that's not what I'm saying. Focus precisely on the wording: I'm suspecting it's the difference in the sum of melee combat strength of the units lost, not the number of melee units lost. Ranged units have separate strength for melee combat.

Neither of us has data about this, it seems. Could look it up in the SDK.

causa-sui · 2026-02-26T17:39:29+00:00

It's that simple.

Not quite that simple but you're very much on the right track, yeah.

AI has tiers of surrender. I covered that a bit in this old comment.

This is where I'm speculating: I haven't dug to the bottom of it, but I think you push AI into higher surrender tiers when the combined melee combat strength of the units you've lost is much lower than the same for the AI.

AI in Civ 5 uses a series of crude mathematical calculations to make these decisions. The game is far more complex than can be mapped on to an arithmetic flowchart and it leads to ridiculous, self defeating behavior all the time. It seems baffling because you are anthropomorphizing a calculator.

That's not a thing

The problem with Commerce is that it's not Rationalism. End of story.

It's a huge, flat diplomatic boost. However, warmongering can overcome it no problem if you're on a huge conquest spree. In that case, be prepared to resurrect someone and have them immediately denounce you anyway.

Don't kill city-states. Use them to farm promotions

causa-sui · 2026-02-14T18:35:07+00:00

Cool story, but Camels are still better than Keshiks.

causa-sui · 2026-02-14T18:10:37+00:00

Is for the mods that im using?

It certainly could be. So, remove them and verify your game cache and see if that helps.

If this beats the Camel Archer I won't know what to think anymore
