I settled once city on a hill as Korea. Ethiopia, who was a friend and trading partner, started a war with reckless abandon
Deity Korea
After a surviving pointless attack by Phoenicia, I finally was able to create some infrastructure and settlers. Ethiopia paid a premium for diplo and luxuries. Not sure where he was, but it seemed he was across a small bay/ocean from me. Classical era
Set up a city on a hill. And the response is extreme, even for deity AI.
A surprise war declared with no units in sight. The next turn, 5 warriors from a city state in the water outside my coastal city
My archers deal with that, and more warriors start to cross from a DIFFERENT city state (he levied two)
Two catapults, an archer, and two horseman of his show up.
He continued to send units intermittently and won’t make peace despite a slaughter. I have a galley in the bay, and archers in the city, so the stronger units don’t make it to land and the ones that do are near death before touching the city
Won’t make peace in medieval, still sends a unit je two across the ocean.
About all he did was force a slinger upgrade and delay a harbor by 5-10 turns.
I’ve played a lot of deity and had the AI do wars, but I’ve never had this happen. All because I settled on a hill. :(
