		A sudden thought: Did you use mercenaries? I believe that the AI is less fond of them than it should be after the new mercenary system was introduced.

		you know...that is right...Mercs are a GREAT addition to an army...especially in the early game if you can get some good ones....That could make sense too if they are not using them.... 
 
KO, how would you change that? just some settings in the AI? or would there be a lot more "re-programming" going on?

		It should not be too much of a problem to make the AI merc-loving, but I'll have to ask codemaster-JK.

		you devs, i can't keep up with you...you guys need to change your name to Jim, Bob, and Al.... 
 
K.O. = Jim 
J.K. = Bob 
and J.0. = Al 
 
Although...now that I think about it, I have only seen one game where an ai nation took a Merc team....I forget who it was though...but only one....and I usually check every turn for Mercs...

		I started a couple games (poor me, too busy to play!     ) and always thought the mercs were way too expensive, so I never hired them.  But when I checked the next turn to see if the price had gone down, the AI had snapped them up.
 
Are the merc prices always for a 3-month contract?  At any rate, from what I see, the AI is grabbing mercs ASAP... but these games both had many AIs, at every difficulty level from easy to impossible, so for all I know, maybe some of the levels don't grab mercs correctly.

		Storm, another though:  
 
What independent strength did you use? Default, higher or lower. I recommend the default settings. A setting of 0 or 1 would change the working of the game radically and wouldn't be much fun. The AI would be seriously disadvantaged (especially at 0).
