Single Player Rant

[Beorne]

I usually preface all my posts with "I play only in mp". I have the luck to have a group of players and mp is so much fun. I don't have much free time (sometimes I can't do a turn a day) and I prefer investing it in mp. I find sp boring, and I haven't said I win easily with the ai, simply playing sp bores me soon. It's notorious peoples are more fun than computers.
Regarding ai improvements to create better sp experiences, it is very, very, very hard to build good ai in a so complex system. Correcting the balance for mp (and sp as side effect) is much easier.
