ISSUE EXPERIENCED
Tried a different map than the usual generic few I do for SP conquest vs. AI… and it was a Nomad map – which I haven’t tried for years. Yes, “Pilgrims” map. Instant regret. AI had no idea what to do so stopped playing about 5 minutes in. They never left their tiny islands. Seems this was reported 4 years ago:

And at one point I saw they had deleted their TCs and other buildings on those islands.
There are at least like 120 maps to choose from and I picked the only one where AI is clueless? Or are all Nomad and all Island maps this way? I bet it’s the latter. Can AI be fixed so when we decide to venture away from the simplistic Arabia map, the AI will know what to do?
And if the AI is broken in a bunch of maps, can a filter be added to the map selection screen in the meantime called Not compatible with AI so we don’t waste our time accidentally picking a map where AI will stand around or have other broken characteristics (like dumping all their resources into navy for certain water maps)?
AI (blue and orange) just standing around. I’m yellow in the map screenshots:
PS: There was a TON of fish on this map. Way too much, imo. And a lack of variety. They were only huge fish (dolphins and marlins). No smaller ones, which looks weird
