Whether it's vanilla, R&F, or GS, the AI is the same plan. It builds about 6 to 8 cities quickly and then stops. Perhaps late in the game they will add 1 or 2 more cities but that's normally it.
What ever happened to AI building 14+ cities? Is it just a soft coded decision by developers, or is it hard coded to avoid out of range errors?
I've tried playing with just 2 or 3 AI and not city states, just to test if AI would ever build more cities if there was no competition and lots of free space. Nope, same process, they build out quickly and then just go high and not wide. I miss having 4+ AI's with one expanding wide and competing for strat resources.
