MP Dealings. 2 Humans, and 3 AI.

[CornMaster]

I'm playing a game with a friend and I'm leading right now. I took out the AI Civ on my island, so now I'm expanding and growing. He still has 2 AI civs on his island. He is ahead of them and it's only a matter of time before he kills them and comes for me. Now....I'm ahead in tech and units sooooo.....I'm beefing up the AI so that they will put up more of a fight against him so that when he does win...I'll be able to take him easier.

Was this a good idea???? I want 2 opinions. Tatically and morally.

Tatically, I feel it is unsound. I'm giving away my tech lead to all players. (He will steal the techs when he takes the cities.) But even though he will have the techs he will be worn down afterwards. Had I not have boosted the AI their 5 combined cities would have fallen already. And he would be preparing to attack me. I'm actually at wat with the Japs. I gave them Conscription and they declared war on me. LOL Anyway....

Morally, I think it's unfair to do this to a friend. 3 vs 1 isn't too fair. When it's 1st, 3rd and 4th place against 2nd place, he can't live forever....but then again it's only a game and who gives a crap!!!

Comments???

You should come in the back door when he's out attacking the poor computer.

Morally, picking on the ai is wrong. The computer has feelings too!

Just kidding, but seriously, anything goes in civ and shouldnt be taken personally in any way.

let some human player take over one AI and ally with your friend.. so it's like 1 vs 2 vs 1 AI.. how about this sounds?

yeah, that sounds quite good to me, sekong... I wonder what he thinks about it though

Well he killed the other AI's.....so it's just me and him. I destroyed one of his cities and about 5 units. I just kept putting units in the city until he destroyed it because I didn't want him steeling Armor!! He made one (and his first) landing on my island but I sank his ship (and 8 of the 9 units) before he could unload them all. (yeah for me!)

I'm having a big problem with Barbs. Partisans, Calavary, and cannons EVERYWHERE, destroying my railroad!!! GGGRRRR!!!! Any hints for containing the barbs.? I got forts and stuff. I guess I could build cities everywhere.....but the land is crappy. I have 25-30 barbs on my island at a time. Not to mention Pirate ships that happen to land too.
