Civ rev - The AI sucks

[Gr8mohawk]

How come rather than the AI getting more intelligent with each difficulty, you just get more penalties to give them the advantage?

[a420and69er]

it is very difficult to program an AI to be more intelligent and only a few game companies out there have the expertise and money to design a smarter ai so the smaller companies add penalties to save money

i played civ 4 for about a month and when i tried to play it on the hardest difficulty i noticed that the only change was that the ai started with 3-5 times the amount of units and settlers from the start

Well do you want the now or in July of 2010. It takes a ton of time and resources to design great AI for strategy games.

Actually, as has been pointed out, before, you get bonuses on the easy difficulties. Your warriors are more powerful than the AI warriors on the earlier levels. It's actually the AI that gets penalized, not the other way around, although I think that changes on Deity, and you get penalized, a bit.

The Ai Tried To Offer Me 5 Gold For Code Of Laws The 5th Turn

[xnaruhinax]

lol, they offerd to trade me hbr for code of laws, a great trade! but the a.i. really does get u in multi, when ur not really looking at them, they can just randomly make demands and tip the balance in the other guys favor....but u ever played call of duty 4 or halo 3? legendary(vertern, whatever) the enemy didnt have better ai, they just did massive damage.
