Help! AI keeps stealing my tiles
In a few games, I've noticed even if I have workers on tiles, the AI will steal the tiles from me. Like one game, I was the peacekeppers and the AI was the Gaians. I had a base with farms, mines etc and I had workers working these tiles, along come the Gaians, and build a base a row of tiles from my base. Would a sensor stop this? I could always edit the Gaian.txt file, but I don't really want to, but if it's the only thing that I can do..., I might as well. So is there any way to stop the AI from taking tiles from me?

Sounds to me like you need to take that base from the Gaians and destroy it. There is no other way to take the tiles back if they are now in Gaian territory.

At the risk of being overly obvious, the borders are subject to change depending on where new border cities are planted. A tie (a tile equal distance away from two different factions' bases) will go to the faction that founded their base most recently.
War is not usually the best option for me. I typically try to out-encroach the AI by building lots of border bases first.

Yeah, at times the AI will start these "border wars" by building bases to encroach on your space. The best approach other than going to war is to do the same.

You could always release lots of mind worms into the wild right next to their base. Might just eat em alive...

My first thought was how the heck another faction gets a CP that close to your base. I have faced the seabase situation where an AI seabase takes away terraforming used by a land base. I don't know how to completely prevent that but on land you have options
1. ZOC block their units and CPs from getting close
2. Border push-- place your bases to grab maximum territory and then backfill.
3. Kill the offending base
4. Perhaps you could terraform the "homeward" side of your base first so that the AI can grab land but you would be less likely to lose improvements
