Are automated workers this bad?

Hi,

In addition to RBP1 and RBP2, I am also playing in a third pitboss game with 6 hour turns and no rules (double moves, spies, etc all allowed). I just killed my neighbor on T103 (we're playing Epic speed) at a point in the game where I have 4 cities with at least their special resources all improved. Let me show you the guy I eliminated's land:

The SE city ruins were his cap. The NW ruins were his only other city (Which has no early food resource. I cut the map off because I didn't want to include any of my units, but the rest of a fat cross was just grassland and jungle.). I assume the reason I have 4 cities and units and he had 2 cities, 2 archers, and 3 warriors was because I am the amazing combo of Exp/Cre India and I log in almost every turn, while he only logged in once every three turns or so. Even with queued actions you lose a bit missing so many turns. However that does not explain, at all, the condition of his tiles. Note the following:

*Grassland Iron in his cap's first ring, not roaded or improved.
*Grassland Pigs, mined!
*Grassland Farm built at cap despite irrigated corn and clams.
*Second city has only a grassland hill as an improved tile.

So my question is, is it possible automated workers did this? If not then I think this surpasses the Templars for worst slow-paced-game terrain improvement scheme of all time.

Did he know about the iron? Maybe he didn't have Iron Working.
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

Hmm, maybe not, though I've had it for some time and without copper or horse one would think he would have researched it. However I guarantee you he or the AI knew about the pigs wink

Maybe he lacked Animal Husbandry, The Wheel, Pottery and Bronze Working so mining the hill was the only worker project available? smile

Did he go religion crazy or just crazy at the start?

Hey, don't forget the fearsome dead WarningU2 and the dead not-so-MightyBoosh.

I'm surprised the legendary CivOperaActIII isn't in the game.
