Default Re: Temple Destroyed Event kills AI!

Extreme scales pretty much HAVE to allow for extreme results. And the AI does have the option for extreme scales.

Everything has its pros and cons. The more that "intelligent" limitations are put on AI actions, the more predictable it becomes, and the less replayability in solo play. Extreme randoms allow for surprise wins as well as surprisingly stupid failures.

Dom3 out-of-the-box goes with random over controlled results in many areas (map, your own units AI, computer player AI, magic sites, populations, guardians, etc). However, as an option we do have the SemiRandom program which tries to fix those if you want a slightly more controlled result. That includes logical gods and scales for computer player AIs which can help against the problem mentioned here.

For some people, unlimited options is the same as no options at all.
It if its not on the menu, its not an option?
