Dumb AI

[OmniGod]

Okay can someone tell me how to make the AI start building a civ right away... it's 30 turns in and only the Canadians are smart enough to build a city... some civs aren't even moving around to find a good location, they're just standing there dumbfounded... is the the large map that confuses them, or are they just looking to be knocked off in the first 100 turns, by my army?

Omni - how do you fix this?

Omni,

Even on massive maps, the Civs will move, settle, etc.
You have the 'Ghost Civ' problem. Stems from the scenario getting messed up internally while it was being created. Generally, although not always, this comes from not deleting the original settlers before playing with the 'Set Start Loc' options.

POSSIBLY, if you go back in and delete all the settlers, then set the Start Locs again, it might fix it. Although, quite often, once the scenario gets messed up, it is toast and no longer usable.
