AI and WOI

[Hrvoje193]

AI gets fairly early high support for independence, but after that percentage just keep droping.My guess is by that time they produce large quantity of food, therefore new colonists.

Actually I have seen AI declare independence several times in the past ... but it is years since I played a game of Civ4Col until endgame.
At higher difficulties however AI should still to be a real competition for who becomes independent first as it got much better considering Liberty Bell production.

Generally I am not sure what you are actually asking though.
Because yes, independence rate is mainly computed by Liberty Bells / Population.

We have a test feature where the AI takes over the human player and the game races through sometimes hundreds of turns without human interaction. In other words some relatively quick test of AI as well as in general to see if errors (or asserts) are triggered. In those games, winning war of independence is a thing so clearly the AI is able to do so.

I have also seen AI declares independence a few times, but it is rare.Maybe one starts WOI and not always.Come to think of it same applies to RAR.Looks to me AI produces too much food/people, and it grows to quickly, so it can't achieve 50% support.
I checked WB and lot of them are just idle as stationed in the city, probably like guardians.Often dozens of them.

We are talking about hardest difficulty(Revolutionary) and second largest map(huge?).
