Its a bug or the ai cheat ?

[Vherkin]

Hi, i play the game with good mod and apolyton pack.
A oversized maps with 12 AI.
I wanted to play in impossible but the ia is really to fast in tech, produce and expansion.

I have one settler and the AI have four... (in 4000 bc)
I have 3 tech and the AI have nine:

AI:

Writing, tool making, stone working, slave labor, shipbuilding,
religion, bronzeworking, ballistics, agriculture.

ME:

Agriculture, religion, toolworking

But in current of the game they have advantage to:

More sience, more PW, more production, more all !

In 1 AC they have canon, infantry and other tech like this.
So i wanted to know: Its a bug ?
If its not a bug, the hard/very hard and other lvl got a ai more dump or the ai just do less cheating ?

I love hard play but i dont really love when i got rushed by a dumps peace minded ai with overboosted unit.

Sorry for my english, im french. i able to read but to write it im not good.

It's not a bug, it's just the easiest way to help the AI, especially in science, because the AI doesn't develop it's cities well enough to keep producing more and more commerce (for science and gold).

Have you tried the Ages of Man IV mod? It's got the best AI of all the mods.

Tanks for the advice.
I wanted to know: So the Ai intelligence dont change with lower lvl, Just the cheating is reduced ?

[Maquiladora]

Yeah, I think so.

Tanks, so i will able to train with a ai when they have 100 % of they strategic capacity. When im become more good, i will play in impossible level.

That sounds like a good idea
