I wish to report that despite numerous protests, the AI still cheats.
Microsoft is a company that should be able to produce an AI that does not cheat. How hard is that?
If the player’s population max is 200, then the AI population max should also be 200.
How is it then possible that the AI can continue to create wave after wave of massive armies to throw against a human player, yet at the end of the game the AI stats show a win on villager high?
You cannot produce over 50% villagers and still produce massive armies yet the AI does this over and over.
It does not matter what setting the AI is selected for from easy to absurd the population caps need to be equal for all sides whether human or AI - otherwise you have to concede the AI is not capable of winning as it currently stands, unless it cheats.
How can Microsoft produce such a bad game AI and yet want to be taken seriously in the overall AI world?
