600, 800 or 1500 units, it wont make a huge difference. Basically most of the units are cannon fodders, or we aint using them at all strategically.
The galciv2 AI is much, MUCH better then the Dominions 2 AI generally. There are weaknesses in it of course, but those are mostly player exploits. I am pretty sure that the Galciv2 team knows about those player exploits and those will be fixed, maybe in patch 1.1, hence they are saying that the AI will be upgraded again, probably they gonna add AI counters for those "exploit tactics", like the hit with fast ships/planet bombing/run tactic.
Like I said the galciv 2 AI generally much better, especially if you fight against 3+ AIs on the hardest settings, it is almost impossible to win, I am usually ending up on a 2+ front war, and you cant win that in Galciv2. In Dominions 2, I could hold 3+ AIs alone without much probs on the hardest settings.

So all in all, lets wait for the doms 3 demo, and we can decide to buy the game or not. I am pretty sure that many players would buy this game for singleplayer, may I ask that how many players who bought Dominions 2 were playing multi games? I was checking out this side, and I only seen a "few" ongoing games most of the times/AARs about mp games.

I just hope that the devs can fix the Doms 2 AI errors, I am very very happy that they gonna do something with the AI castle building thing at least, that is a good start indeed.
