I don't want to be rude, but the Galciv AI is pretty much average. I've installed the game again to try it out with the latest patch. I steamrolled the AI on the hardest level...and I wasn't playing for lot of weeks.

I won't be so definitive : in GC the AI is surprinsingly "intelligent" strategically, enters into diplomacy with more or less good results (for it), but falls into "traps" that are easy to design by players.
In Dom1-3 the AI is totally brainless, can't be reasoned with, but produces things and send them to attack you: sometimes it even win ! |

Re: Dom-III discussion at GalCiv
I definitely have to question what AIs you consider "above-average" if GalCiv is average. Everything I've encountered with regards to it has given me quite the opposite impression... but perhaps you've played some awesome games I've never heard of.  |

To be honest I haven't seen a good game AI ever...the fact is, that its absolutely not hard to beat the Galciv2 AI on the hardest settings. So I cannot say that the AI is good.
Not to mention that the diplo AI can be exploited totally by the human player.

Interesting...u must be a extremly good player to do this with GC2 1.3, what lvl were the AI's on? Sucidal is the highest (but its cheating, 200% universal bonus to everything), I think tough is where it plays exactly as the player does, without cheating (individual AI setting ultimate), I can not name another pc game which plays better without cheating, can u?
In Dominions is the AI cheating on impossible level? If so by how much and in what way?
I personally do not care how a AI puts up a challenge to me in any SP game, wether it cheats or not. So long as the game is entertaining and interesting.
Please note I am not attacking Dominions in any way, I like the game or I would not have pre-ordered Dominions 3. I am a DominionsFAN too...

I was playing on suicidal [incredible] level. That is 200% bonus for the AI players. Well I was playing a lot with the game many many weeks ago, so I consider myself a good player still.

Re: Dom-III discussion at GalCiv
In that case, all I after say is, may we never meet on the field of battle, especially a Dominions one. |

Actually I plan to play MP games with you guys, and not just with my real life friends. Well playing with real life friends is the best, but I really like this community, so I want to play with many lads here...but only TCP/IP games, because I hate PBEM.

I´ll take the glove as soon I get the game. I don´t mind loosing to good players (I did). That way you learn new stuff. Know that I've been patched to build castles and path-improvement items. so beware.
