I have a question ... i know the AI is stupid ... but let's say if there was this wonder that gave the Wall Street effect but with a 3 unhappyness in all cities would the Ai simply build it even though his people are miserable enough ...

Or we could take the example even further ... if there was a wonder that only gave 10 unhappy would the ai build it just because it is a wonder ?

Or if it is a very good wonder but has about 30 maintainance, would he build it depending on this treasury or build it blindly ?

These are my questions ... please consider all of them and not just the first one (like everybody did the last time i asked smthing:mad:)

AI wants to build any GW only because it's a GW. There is no effect analyser. It's quite understable as no GW gave a bad effect without a good one in vanilla civ. So.. yeah for all your questions.

K, heres a suggestion.. open the editor, and mess with the wonder properties, take the three earliest. Start a game, and see if the Artificial Idiot builds them :)

:hmm: i'll try that Stormrage, when i finish my research ... maybe tomorrow.

In my mod there will be a LARGE number of wonders and improvements that will have negative effects but also positive ... Among these neg-effect wonders, a large part will be in the category of Heresies (for each and all religions). The biggest neg effect wonder would be for Satanism :satan: - just imagine how upset EVERYBODY would be if the pres in your country would facilitate their developement - in the game there will be a HUGE number of unhappy people but this wonder will build in ALL cities a building (name not decided) that creates a powerfull unit (name not decided) per 2 turns ... so before all the cities will riot you will have a tough no maintainance EVIL army. :evil:

Supa is right - the Artful Idiocy will build any GW it can lay its dirty registers on.
