Okay guys. We will close this thread if the hostilities continue. Let me give you Shrapnel's take on the AI:

The AI "has never been fixed" because we did not consider it broken. Saying that the developers aren't supporting the game is wrong. This game has been, and will be, very well supported. Again, the AI was never considered broken. For a game of this complexity it is a solid AI for the novice and can be fun to play against for more experienced players. Those that are experts at Domionions, will find it lacking I am sure.

Is it perfect? No, there is room for improvement (as are ALL AIs) as Kristoffer O has already posted. There will be improvements with Dominions 3. Will it make the experts ecstatic? I doubt it.

And finally this isn't Gal Civ this is Dominions. Comparing the two isn't exactly productive. As has been pointed out, Gal Civ uses alot of non-AI means to make things more even at higher difficulty levels. Maybe Dominions could do the same, but the developers have a vision and it may not, probably isn't, the same as Gal Civs'.

Let's keep things civil, please.
