Bad lands

[Vladislav_the_I]

AI builds it city's on a bad terrain or not far away from other city's
when he could make better use of the lend.
Happed's the you get bad terrain, but engeeners can change it to a better one, but no AI never use this option!

Yes the ai programming could definitly use some improving in the area of city site selection.I can't say how many times I see ai cities one square from being able to reach 2 whales or something.
The ai uses a 2 square ICS type overlap city layout plan.Doesn't matter to it if one of the overlapping cites is yours. ..course we can do the same

Well no one accused the AI of being smart

How hard could it be to add some code like this:

if square = swamp and square.special = false then irrigate

Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it seems they've skipped some of the easier programming of the AI.
