The Civ V AI

[Adagio]

Yes, I have been reading that AI is terrible. but I wonder if that is something that can be fixed in a patch or an XP. It sounds like a major overhaul of the AI is in order.

The AI in Civ IV was also terrible when the game was just released, but then a better AI mod showed up, which was then included in a patch. Maybe the same will happen to Civ V

Then you probably shouldn't say "I've spent about 200 hours playing the game."

I was quoting what steam says are my hours of use.

The concepts upon which Civilization V is based are great. Unfortunately, the game, at the moment, is unfinished. After several patches, the base game should be finished, and the game will probably be really good. Then, unfinished expansions will be released, and they will have to be patched. Once all of this is completed, Civ V will be a great game, and Firaxis will release an unfinished Civ VI so that they can continue patching, with no break in angry remarks from the public.

On a less pessimistic note, I do like the game as it is, and would probably play it a lot if I had the time. Unfortunately, I don't at the moment.
