Hello dear humans,

I just had to retire a game at turn 160 because the pacifist trait made it impossible to play.

One AI went for treason several times, breaking treaties and engaging in wars, so earns the trecherous badge, then for an unexplained reason got the pacifist badge. That happened around the classic era, and from there it absolutely blocked everything. It makes for an insane synergy : with the pacifist badge, I am the one losing war support, yet with their treacherous badge they can go from 2 to 100 car support in a battle. That makes it impossible. After this AI attacked a city (still having the pacifist badge...), I gave everything I had and barely made it, yet the AI was the one with 80+ war support and I was losing what left in 2 turns, so I while I won a formidable battle, in the end I was forced to surrender.

Where I draw the line is that after that, that AI waged several other wars, continue breaking treaties, and to just make it fun was the only civ having powder, making it impossible to even because it was still with both badges.

I just abandonned. This tiny mechanism destroyed the whole game. That AI destroyed my ally in a single turn, yet still level 3 badge after invading half the continent. It does not seem like a bug yet it blocked the whole game. It could attack everything and still be untouchable. Whatever planning, strategy, decision, tactic, nothing had any significant impact to counter this.
