Not sure if it was because I started off at Chieftain, but still not overly impressed with the AI. Build up an army of tanks and mechanized infantry and artillery, park it off the border of a country (who definitely notices since they build up too, with their crossbowmen), contact them and demand 10 gold and they say no?

Not until I had taken all but one of their cities did they offer something for peace.
Ya, the AI is all over the place. The Indians that we on my continent decided that their 2nd city should be about 20 turns from the capital, right in the middle of 2 of my cities.
I took that city and all of the sudden Ghandi offered me all his his gold, 4 gold/turn, + iron + horses......back in Civ4, Id be lucky if I could get a lump of gold.
