Are you using the official v26 version with parch 1 Or the SVN?

There have been some major changes on the SVN vs the official v26.

Hope to hear how it goes for you.

Hi,
Yes, Koshling has done so very much in improving the AI.But even with Koshling's work REV is very unfriendly to AI empires. And it gets compounded by the City Limits thru Civics Option. One splinters strong AI opponents, the other sets artificial barriers that the AI does not see and so can't overcome. An AI empire that grows w/o REV/City Limits On is a much stronger opponent and harder to take out. I'd also suggest using a faster gamespeed than the much touted Snail or Eternity. But that's playstyle and preference speaking. One last suggestion for seeing a better AI is to play a Huge map (or bigger) with 12 or less AI. A crowded map also makes for a weaker game. It puts the AI into War mode too soon and it doesn't develop it's Empire's economy.
