Thats why some of us dont feel the need to wait for multi team democracy games

Give me a smart AI. Surprise me with craftiness rather than overwhelm me with power.
It's easy to create a hard AI. Give an idiot enough of a handicap and he will be difficult to beat.

I want the game on the highest possible setting to have every bit of coding the developers can think up. EXCEPT CHEATS of course.. I hate AI cheating :P

I want the game to have unbeatable Emperor (or whatever the top rank will be) and force me to play down around warlord / prince to have a 50/50 chance of winning.
