To be honest, I haven't seen any improvements in the AI's game play. Been playing a game as Scotland on King and have noticed a lot of behaviours that I noticed in vanilla. For example, the AI will randomly send unprotected builders and great generals into my lands when they're at war with me...

Yep, same issue here, occurs in the late game where the combat animations disappear when zoomed out by a certain amount. Zooming in close enough will restore them. Makes me think it could be a memory issue perhaps? Either way, don't expect them to ever fix this issue since similar problems were...

Recommended requirements for this game call for an i5, not an i7. But since you think that it could be bottlenecking my GTX 1070 (and it sort of does in other games), I decided to go ahead and purchase an i7. Pricey yes, but hopefully it'll be worth it. As it is, I wasn't really too impressed by...

Umm nope. Still as stuttery as before, frame rate remains the same as before also.

Think the bigger reason for them rejecting your refund is because you played more than two hours...

Also noticing some strange and sudden FPS drops when navigating through some of the menus; sometimes the FPS will drop to 30 for a few seconds then spring right back up... chalking this up to game engine issues.

Seems like the battle royale AI is exactly what we got on release. Funny too, considering people were initially praising the AI for being really aggressive in the early eras. Now that everyone's had a few days to play the flaws of the AI are being revealed, and they're unsurprisingly similar to...

Nope, tested without Vsync and the game still runs the way I described in my above post. Stuttery, lower FPS.

So are you saying that what I'm experiencing is normal and that everyone else's game becomes stuttery with a lower FPS when the camera is zoomed all the way out and positioned over revealed terrain? Wouldn't THAT be considered a performance issue then?

I'd like to see someone try to explain my situation here: I'm running a core i5 6500 @3.2 Ghz, a Nvidia GTX 1070, and 16 GB of RAM. At max settings, while the camera is positioned over revealed terrain with a lot of detail onscreen, so that would be over my cities with lots of tile...

The shuffling is the real Achilles Heel of the AI, imo. At least in Civ V the AI would actually try to attack your units, which meant that you of course would take casualties. Here, it's like they're too afraid to attack. I was playing as China and Arabia declared war on me in the Atomic Era...

When playing later in the game (probably Industrial era and beyond), when I zoom all the way out my FPS drops down to 30-40 FPS from the usual 60 FPS it runs at, and there is a noticeable amount of stutter. This only happens when the camera is positioned over revealed land, it doesn't happen...

Right now the AI is so afraid of declaring war in the medieval era and beyond because of the insanely high warmonger penalties. This means that you can just go around declaring war on the weaker civs and the stronger civs won't ever retaliate by declaring war on you.

The warmonger penalties could definitely use some fine tuning, in fact I'm considering starting a dedicated thread for that topic since it has such an impact on the state of the game right now.

I hope that's somewhat of a joke, otherwise that's a very insensitive comment to make considering the amount of effort that the dev team has put into this game. Sure there are issues with the AI and the pace of tech progression but other than those two glaring problems it's looking to be a...
