The AI is just plain boring to play against. Things I dislike about the AI:
In fact, the "AI" shouldn't even be called AI. It is just simple set of heuristics that fails the Turing test miserably.
- Pointless attacks on your cities. Even though the AI is sure to lose a particular battle it will go ahead with it anyway, not just once but repeatedly. All this does is level up your own defensive units.
- The constant shuffling around of units within your territory. It's not using them to attack, they just keep moving around, why?? Makes the AI less human and generally annoying.
- No cohesive strategy. No major coordinated attacks. Just randomly tosses units at your cities. I wish the AI actually tried strategizing or at least calculated the usefulness of a certain attack before commiting to it.
- Erratic diplomacy. Really gives you the feeling that the AI is just rolling dice.
