When the game came out I reported that the AI doesn’t build any trade/native posts.
That was corrected, which is great.
But now the AI is too aggressive with building trade/native posts.
It’s OK on the enemy side but not so much on the ally side.
For example, when the game starts, I always use the 200 wood I get from crates to build 2 houses.
The AI on the other hand uses it to build a trade post.
My suggestion is, for single player, when we play Skirmish with the AI, change the ally AI behaver NOT to build any trade/native posts for the first 10 minutes.
This will allow human players enough time to build them themselves.
