KO has replied in the AI's thread yesterday:
"I got an idea regarding AI dependancy on LI when I was away. Vacations are 'foyson' for the mind.
Regarding fort construction. I'm not sure how the AI works, but where would you build a fortress? Consider fort type, nation, geography, income, resources etc.
What is the most important matter? How should they be weighted? How much shall current wars affect the spending of time and money. What army should build the fortress?
I wouldn't mind a numerical evaluation of this such as:
Castle cost / 2 < Income + res + gem income x 25 + neighbors x 5
Add a couple of other conditions.
Just to make you think. Eventually it might result in something good."
The devs ARE wishing to upgrade the AI., and we MUST HELP TO THEM WITH IDEAS AND REPORTS. Stop TROLLING HERE Nagot Gick Fel!
