yes I think Earth has experienced something narrative and abstract like a global IQ drop... simply because of fascination and obsession with the term "AI"
no, different leaderheads in Civ aren't different "intelligences" that are "artificial"
it's a lazy term used wrongly.
the XML files produce a spread of results and the player uses their imagination
period.
you could play on paper with a pencil drawing everything if you knew the rules
i bet the true spirit of alexander is rolling in his grave at the thought of some spirit of intelligence being sold to people
sick
twisted
it's weird cultlike behavior
the only "AI" in civ
is the transit pathology
available to all players
the game"" doesn't know if Alexander is being operated by Ming, me, or a script
from the perspective of THE GAME... any INTELLIGENCE alternatively and artificially
is the TRANSIT PATHOLOGY available to all players WHEN YOU HIT G the goto function.
thanks
beyond that tracking and trying to prove behaviors with gameplay is fakenewbie nonsense
"the perfect game" by "the perfect alexander that day"
"AI NEVER MAKES MISTAKES"
or That Person is The Other because of mistakes
"hahah you played like Alexander that day"
because all the leaderheads and people in history are Balanced
another selling point (not a criticism of firaxis) for a selljob
people need to understand that AI is the game running on a 486 instead of wrigley scorebored runners drawing frames for them or performing as live chess pieces
the game itself is always the artificial and the intelligence
people are misunderstanding and misusing the terms at the top because they aren't smart
tech is populated by dimwites (sic)
most leaders might say Just Win when confronted with an Abstract Strategic Situation.
the sell job of the Anime Chick as ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is a story intelligence and has nothing to do with Machine or Coded operations
people can argue to infinity the nature of independent origination in narrative history
(story intelligence)
after my tenth season in Madden 2035, Michael Jackson the 31st (no relation)
the game took too long explaining both the genetic bondedness of humanity
and the apparent randomness and lack of connection to all such prominent individuals
even though nepotism is strong
it became a phone book that flagged everyone
the utter perfection of all humans at level zero against each other with only clubbed to death programs holding back the music at the clubbing to death programs
