Default Re: Best AI Nation in EA?

Ive run long tests by setting the game to process every half hour and leaving it run for days. Mostly map size is a big factor but on really big maps with all the nations playing it tended to be:
Ermor up until about 50 turns
Oceania up until about 100 turns
Arcos after that

So the "winner" tends to depend on whether or not the game lets Oceania stay in long enough and then whether or not Arcos can stay in long enough. And alot of that depends on who ends up next door to who.

I havent run enough tests to break down the win/lose points on all of the other nations. Sometimes the "heims" do really well. The only other pattern Ive noticed is that Mictlan tends to fall out first. Sometimes so early that I dont think they met another nation (its hard to randomly create a good mictlan setup).
