AI Could not get diplomatic victory

April 18, 2006 3:22:03 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
In my most recent game, I had reached a point where there were 4 civs left, Myself (Arcean), the Korx, the Thalans, and the Yor. Both the Thalans and the Korx were allied with everyone else. Neither of them got a diplomatic victory.

Now, I dont know if this is really a bug or not. But I would have assumed that the AI can win the same ways the player can, except for conquest, since the game ends when the player is eliminated.

I can post the screenshot, but dont want to host the image from my personal website. I can also send a copy of the save game to someone, if I am provded with a place to send it.

Were they allied with you? Be definition a diplomatic victory means that all players (Human & AI) are allied.

I've observed several instances where the AI had alliances with every player left in the game (including me). As best I can tell, presumably by design, the AI simply can't win a diplo victory.

No, I've won a diplomatic victory where I'm the only one allied to everyone. Some of the other civs were still at war with each other. I only did it because I was bored with that particular game and wanted to start a new one.

So wait, AI's ARE supposed to be able to get a diplo victory? Or diplo victory is supposed to require everyone to be allied with everyone else? Either one of these is news to me, so could someone clarify?

Yeah I'm kinda in the dark too... I thought that a diplo victory required that only the player need to Ally with all the AI's (kinda hard to make AI's allies... have no idea where to start)

The alliances were like this.

My allies == Korx, Thalan
Korx == me, Thalan, Yor
Thalan == me, Korx, Yor
Yor == Thalan, Korx

Since I was not allied with the Yor, I dont qualify for a diplo victory. But both the Thalan and the Korx do.

I will send the saved game shortly, just as soon as I figure out how.

A Diplomatic victory is easy enough to prevent, just dont be allied with someone, and they cannot win. But if your ally is also allied with everyone else, then they should win.
