Developers, make AI replace players who lose internet connection in multiplayer games.
I think this is a cool idea as an option for custom games. But I wouldn’t want to see it in ranked.
Some players are worse then a AI which I have seen when hosting comp stomps from many different difficulty levels so it can cause problems. Such a thing should never ever be in ranked game.
Just base the AI difficulty on ELO of the player that dropped out.
Also the AI is only really good in early game because it can just execute it’s build order, the AI gets a lot worse in late game when it has to adept to player behaviour.
Another way to do : share the ressources between all others and let them control the civilization
This suggestion is especially good for team games.
The AI is absolutely miserable and AFKs half theirs vills at all times (don’t even bring up water maps), but it’s better than a griefer losing 12 mins after you finally aged up and can play the game.

You can’t have AI in any ranked mode. It’s that simple.
