Graeme, your words are getting a bit insulting. Yes I dont know anything about scripting, but what the hell is your point?

People who don't know anything about something usually assume that something is easy. You have assumed that AI programming is easy, when it is just about the most difficult thing that can be done with a computer.

It is my fault that the Dominions 2. AI never been fixed? What are you trying to say? I understand that AI scripting is hard, but is it impossible?

Yes, it is currently impossible to create an AI that will challenge a competent human player without massive cheating in any game more complicated than chess.

Secondly, I dont expect any AIs what can beat a human player 1on1...but I expect an AI what is challenging.

And you expect the AI to remain challenging even when you become an expert at the game, which is impossible with current technology.

Beating 3 AIs alone is just annoying, 3 AIs should easily beat a human player. Do you agree? Go and try Galciv2 on the hardest vs. 2-3 AIs, and tell me that it is impossible to script a good AI.

The Gal Civ AI gets massive production and information bonuses over a human player on high difficulty levels. That's not an AI that is capable of beating a player because it's smarter than the player.

Graeme, you dont get my whole point, and you just keep insulting me with your words. I think I was objective enough, and you call it whining.

I fully understand your point, you aren't happy with the current AI in Dominions. The problem with your point is that it is impossible with the current state of the are in AI research to create an AI that would make you happy for a game as complex as Dominions. You don't understand this, however, so you keep demanding the impossible.
