I just realized that no civs have the 'build often' check for artillery on. I set it to yes for all civs. Does anyone know if this makes that much of a difference?

The REAL question is will they use the extra artillery to good effect. Artillery use is supposedly not one of the AI's strong points. -
Exactly. AI is terrible at using artilleryComment

I once went into the Editor and clicked on "build more artillery" for the French. Cannons were in fact the prime offensive mover in the Napoelonic Wars.
So a war (musketeer era) begins and the French go on the offensive. Unfortunately, they left all their artillery just sitting in their cities! Stupid. 1.21 doesn't seem much better (?).Comment

Actually; in 1.21 I've seen the AI use artillery offensively. Not to great effect, but still...

To be honest I don't tend to use artillery an awful lot. I prefer to bombard from the air or the sea as I don't like losing units. Maybe I would win more wars if i took along some cannons etc
Can't say I've ever seen the AI use bombarding units for anything other than destroying improvements. I once got so annoyed that i built 5 carriers, filled with bombers then went about destroying every land improvement in their borders. Slow but painless way to end a civ's fighting ability
