BTS AI kicks ass. I think we can make it better.
First, making the AI smarter.
We need a better power graph. As it stands, the power graph more closely reflects "total number of shields of units" more than "total power of units".
Second, there are AI tweaks that can make the game better, without making the AI better, if you get my drift.
Proposal: When the AI passes the following thresholds, it should make an offer to you:
1> I'm willing to call this war off if you will call this war off.
2> I'm willing to give up a city to call this war off.
3> I'm willing to capitulate and become a vassal state to call this war off.
Having to check each turn if your victim will capitulate is rather annoying, and if you fail to check each turn the AI is likely to surrender to some other AI.
