Default Re: Suggestions for upgrade of AI

I don't know what happens in anyone else's games, but the AI in my games, starts the game with immediate knowledge of my location and makes a beeline to me. And when I say immediate, I mean immediate. In a straight line, the same number or provinces as turns have passed, which means it didn't scout for me first. It knew.

Secondly, the AI never fights other AI. They all come for me, like it is a team game or something, and almost never fight each other. I can make a 600 province map, only 4 AI opponents and by turn 15, I'll be surrounded by at least three of them.

The odd thing is, they get to my "border" and then hesitate. No killer instinct. Many times, I just scratch my head and wonder why the AI didn't attack as a turn passes.

That has never been the case for me. Are you sure you aren't playing Starcraft, or maybe Civilization V?
