Think whatever you want. It wont change the way things are. I think people should offer solutions instead of problems but thats a common saying in the workplace.

I didnt knew about those old topics what we had, so maybe it was really pointless to make this post, since that old thread is from november, and the developers never cared about that thread at all, as I see. It was a huge thread with LOT of good ideas, I just saw it.

Which thread is this that they "never cared about"? I thought they answered in most of the threads?

Gandalf even you posted a lot in that thread, I just saw it, so you must know, that lot of good ideas can be found there, and still, the 'fix the ai' thing was on the bottom on the 'to do' list, that is for sure.
Hopefully it isnt there still..

Of course it is. Well not the bottom but lower than many other things. Why wouldnt it be? No one has come up with anything to change that yet.

I am really trying to be constructive, but this AI coding thing is a bit too complicated to me I think, that is why I only mentioned the LI and castle building problems in that case.

Bull. You cant play a game of Dominions pretending to be the AI? Try playing with no LI at all? You can beat the AI so often that this is a problem but you cant play like a dumb AI to test a theory?

Do you have any idea what army the AI should have? How do they get that? Do they build all HI until they cant afford more and then build LI? Or should it be LI, LI, HI, Cavalry, repeat until broke. Now how well does that work if you arent playing Ulm? Does it work for Man? Pangaea? Ctis? Caelum? Atlantis?
Should they build only at home? In every province? How well does that work if you are on a map larger than the small maps? 100 provinces? 200? 300? 500?
