AI doesn't care About Luxuries any more?

[steveg700]

Hey, I took a long break from Civ, at least six months, probably more.

Last I played, happiness had been made more important and harder to come by. Amenities were good things to have at last. But in this game I fired up, I'm in the renaissance era, and the five AI civ's aren't trifling with luxes. They either have one or none, and they all have in the neighborhood of 6-10 cities. They should be suffering pretty badly. And yes, they do have plenty they could be improving.

Is this apathy representative of the current state of the AI?

This is a noted problem, discussed in at least AI not improving luxuries and Are the AI upgrading luxuries/strategic resources after March patch? I am not aware of resolution.

I haven't really noticed this problem, and I'm playing with the Real Strategy (AI) mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1617282434), so I'm assuming that might fix it. It should be noted that when I started playing again a few months ago, after a several year break, that I used this mod from the start, so I can't compare it with unmodded AI.

As has been noted this is a known issue some people have experienced.

Closing as already a number of threads on this.
