2016 Winter Patch - Combat AI...?

[Raider]

Well, this thread makes me feel that much better about decision to request a refund for this game before the 2 hours on Steam were up. What I saw in game plus Firaxis history with Civ 5 made it obvious that there were major problems with the game and devs weren't going to address those any time soon, if ever.

I find that weird. The city bombards - shouldn't it be based on a ranged unit...?

Ranged attack is based on the best ranged unit, and defense combat is based on the best melee unit.

Wow, I had no idea I was in a game where the AI each got an extra settler. That makes me even more disappointed in the AI than I already was.... sigh.

On Emperor and Immortal they get an extra settler, Deity they get 2 extra settlers. I hate it and hope they can improve the AI enough so they can remove it from Emperor/Immortal.

Really hate the extra settler on Emperor. I think I'll mod that out when modding tools come. But then again, maybe that's the only difference between King and Emperor, or are the other changes also?

There is a mod: Smoother Difficulties for this

Give the smoother difficulty mod a try. No extra AI settlers at start, except Deity where they get 1. Also scales AI bonuses based on eras. You don't start in such a big hole, but the increased bonuses make it harder to catch up.
