You should be able to set fire to your oil, to keep an attacker from getting it

Even better, when attacker finally gets the oil fields, they relocate to another continent at the same turn.

Not having coal and being ahead in tech race when you get steam power is somewhat depressing. I hate going to war just to get some lowsy resource that could no just appear in MY territory.

My favourite is when the AI builds a city in the remaining space between our growing empires in the early game, just beating my settler to the spot. Cue 3000 years later and oil just happens to be there. Left them alone until that point but rather than just take that city, I send in a 3 pronged attack with 50 + cavalry and restore the "correct" situation.
War for oil? No
Oil for war!!

That is hateful, a enemy city in the middle of my territory. That usuably never happens, since I like to have huge culture values and often get that city because of culture flip.

bloody AI does it all the time, any territory I don't want to build on directly in my empire as its pretty naff but want to absorb via border expansion is at risk.
You can just see the AI settlers, who aren't supposed to know it exists, lining up to move on it.

It also amusing, however, when you know you're going to settle a patch of land before the AI gets there, to watch an AI settler walk all the way across you vast empire (as you noted, to somewhere it shouldn't know exists) only to have to turn around and walk all the way back.

I hate those hitch hiking type settlers... I can almost see they pointing their tumbs on the road, asking a hike to a local farmer.

I usually don't have to war for resources in most of my games. Of course, I always remember fondly one of my best games (the India Rubber Campaigns, as I call it. )
|
Really? That's surprising to me because it seems like in just about every one of my games there is at least one key resource that ISN'T in my territory.
No problem, though - I just go ahead and smack the AI around a little bit and take the resource by force. Even if I have all the strategic resources, I'll go to war just to acquire more luxuries (can never have too many of those).

Actually, the settler should know the hole is there. Fog of war doesn't affect culture borders.
