None of what you just posted has really anything to do with what we discussed in that thread at all, but OK.
Does Civ 5 (Gods and Kings) need a Happiness nerf?

Because I have changed views now. Its not about the Austrian bonus, if the developers had made the civilizations better in the way that the AI would play the game with more accurate strategy, they would not need the happiness/gold/ and other bonuses that allow it to be strong.
Imagine, if they did make them better, and at the same time they removed all these artificial bonuses that allow it to be strong, you would not have a runaway Austria in none of your games

Imagine, if you actually played single player, you'd understand the problems with Austria instead of hypothesizing on an unknown quality.
Also, making the AI better fixes most of the problems people complain about, not just Austria. But it's not going to happen. The devs only seem to take babysteps on improving the AI and won't let modders touch it.
if they nerfed AI happiness (but not player happiness) it might actually fix a lot of Austria AI's runaway properties. they might not buy so many cities states if it sent them into negative happiness.
i said it once before, all firaxis had to do to help alleviate some of this was give advanced setup options the ability to keep civ opponent's random but allow exclusions. having to specify every civ to guarantee you wont see austria takes the fun of mystery out of it.

I have played single player, and i know it would fix the problems to most things in the game including how people perceive the austrian bonus. If the city states didnt grow as fast and had normal production to complete less buildings and units then you as human player wouldnt feel cheap, and if the ai didnt have so much happiness and gold, it wouldnt buy as many. And even if it did, they wouldnt be as good as they are now, specially in higher difficulties. Also, i think they can make the ai better, but it would require more time which means more money, each civ is different and would need to pay attention to each civ individually. Take a look at Netherlands, i never see naval ai battles, and ai are always resistant to trade, making netherlands as a uselrss ai civ without proper coding to how it should really work, or look at sweden never wanting frienships as the ai.. In conclusion some bonuses shine more than others not because of the ability, but because how all ai civs are coded under one universal way of playing.
