AI's in MP Games

[rah]

I always figured if you allowed that, the person that was located nearest would have to great of an advantage, since it's so much easier to wipe out an AI vs a Human opponent.

ESPECIALLY SINCE THE AI BUILDS ON ****E TERRAIN...

Its conditioned to 1x production.

[rah]

Yep, which really annoys me when your city grows and it picks a square to work thinking you're in 1x.

[War4ever]

the game places for growth not trade or production which means the human player will always be handicapped against the ai..even though its a small handicap....kinda like my golf game

[War4ever]

i finally figured it out....Hydey is really Baron O with an accent

[Hydey]

having spoken to Baron O on ICQ phone I will take that as a compliment.

He on the other hand may feel insulted.

Can be the case.

Otoh, if one player is constantly subject to ai attacks and the other players aren't, then it can be a big disadvantage because the others will zoom ahead. So we've taken the view in past games that its better to get them out of play as quick as possible by any means.

We usually only get ai civs these days when a player drops out of the game.

Well that is the biggest advantage, YOU CAN take them out quickly.

not so easy on 1x without bribing - the effort of fighting could put you too far behind on science and wonders. If you get an agggressive ai next to you it can be a real pain - like getting a barb hotspot.

really 1x and 2x are totally different games.

[rah]

Yes, but like you guys, we don't start with an AI, so by the time someone leaves you have the infrastructure in place, so fielding the army necessary to take it out isn't a problem. I'll take an AI next to me rather than Berz or War4.
