Re: Good game, but....the AI is very bad.
There have been plenty of people here talking about the AI. Some of them program at various levels and have said that it would not be easy, simple, or quick. A single-threaded AI is going to be a hard project to patch. And other methods would be a major rewrite (scripted AIs are a great thing but everything in the game has to have a script-handle written into the code for it to work)
Thre are some threads that are helping the subject along. Do a search for
SUGGESTION: AI castle building algorithm
SUGGESTION: AI troop building algorithm
both of which need people who are wiling to test their ideas and post results.
