What I've Learned About Civ V AI Players
I've learned that AI's aren't meant to be friends. They're alright for just keeping around, but I never count my chickens before they hatch.
One time, I was playing and there was the Netherlands. Sweet, fun-loving William wanted so hard to be my friend, a friendship pact every 10 turns it seemed.
I finally accepted around the third time and we had it good. He made some good deals and I grew fat off trading, even giving him a little when he was tight (because I knew it'd just go back to me). I even got into a war with Montezuma and William was there with what little army he had. I beat back the Aztecs and I swear I saw a Dutch rifleman fire a bullet once at that one battle that happened.
But William became friends with England. And, God, did I hate England because Elizabeth was a bitch that never lighted up and I was always catching her spies. Next thing I know, one spy too many, I'm having a navy battle with the Empire of Which the Sun Never Sets.
William came over and says "Remember those thousands of years of friendship? **** you, buddy." He never declared war because my army was 5x as powerful as his, but I'll never forget the knife in my back from that moment.
I was so angry I switched from an economic victory route to a domination victory and slaughtered the world. And as I approached the final capital, William knew he should've kept his mouth shut.
