I guess in the final analysis it feels like pure cheese to me, just taking advantage of a flaw in the design code. And I don't like to do that. I prefer winning against the AI fairly.

Of course, it might be said in response to that, "Well, wouldn't the AI lose if it tried to attack a Draconian or city with land forces, in any case?" To which I can only reply, "Yeah, but if that AI were being rebuilt today, it would certainly take that into account, and not attack a Draconian city unless it had flying units in the invasion force."
