:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Since the latest patch the AI almost never builds trading posts on minor civilization settlements. The problem does not affect the trade routes. Only in 1 out of 5 skirmish matches I have played the AI player allied with one single minor settlement on a map with 4 minor settlements. The AI didn’t even take the settlement right next to its base(shown in the picture below).

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

100% of the matches i have played

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start skirmish 1v1
  2. Notice the AI almost never builds traiding post on minor settlements while at the same time securing most of the trade routes(as it should)

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

AI should take all the settlements not under the control of the player(as it was before the patch).
