Default Re: I\'m evaluating to buy Dom3

Most of the problems with the AI seem to be its linear code. Its basically one AI for all of the nations with very few "if" routines slowing it down checking for every unique nation situation. Most of the "better AI" games are ones where all of the nations are basically the same wearing different colors.

Improving the AI in Dom3 would be very difficult without going external with lots of hooks written into the code, or writing a complete AI for each nation plus various subthemes. Maybe Dom4
