[PvK]

AI isn't brilliant but I find it plenty fun to play against (after years of playing the previous versions of Dominions, too), and challenging with the right settings. I think it mainly disappoints players who for some reason want to be impressed with its intelligence even after analyzing what it does. I'm actually pretty impressed with how well the AI plays, considering how complex the game is! Certainly it does some dumb things and could in theory be improved in many ways. I just make the scenario as challenging as I want it and then apply a little imagination and suspension of disbelief, and I have great fun playing against the AI, especially from a roleplaying perspective rather than a chess-like analytical problem-solving perspective.
