From what I have been reading this game AI is no push over. Not many reviews posted yet but the upside is that the game is a up hill battle all way. No mid game AI wanting to retreat behind its borders . Loves to take cities. Thats ok but some feel that the AI diplomacy vs. human player might be tweaked a bit . Stan says bribing the AI is a must to stay out of war. Also Stan wanted the game to have a Mutiplay feel to it. Im thinking it something like the mod Conquest. What do you think?

Just play Cradle mod to get a feel for it, since thats what its based on.

I can understand him saying its based on MP game Vs a human, this does mean its mostly military, any positive diplomacy you do make will be with weaker nations, or bribing bigger ones not to attack you, which is realistic.

Maybe I should. Will be good practice till AOM comes in.
I know that Cradle has 3.5 Diplomod as its base which I think is better than 3.6. The AI will never give you anything unless your in a postion to deal hard with them. But have made peace treaties but mostly with Ghandi type personalities the rest you have to push them it to it.
