Crazy AI

[PPK]

I'm playing my first game in RoM/AND and I noticed something weird.

Playing as Bismarck, prince difficulty, ancient start at snail speed on a standard map with 12 AI's. Simply put, the AI can't pick a civic and stick with it for more than like five or six turns. On almost every turn there is an AI that starts a major 4-5 civic revolution. Seeing as the revolutions take many turns, this has to translate into a significant loss of production/growth... I'm not a very good player but it's 700AD and I'm significantly ahead of everyone, whereas in vanilla BTS I'd struggle to keep up with the AIs on prince. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Oh and I thought I'd say : this mod is fantastic. Thanks a lot!

If the the diplomacy window's small red fist means that AI is in anarchy, then yes, I've seen this too

The red fist means they're increasing their military strength. The little man means you are the enemies worst enemy.

Also, never seen this bug, playing on emperor difficulty. If you are so far ahead, maybe its time to turn up the difficulty?

Oh, so that's what it means?! I always thought it was to do with rebellions or some such.

Both wrong. The red fist indicates that the AI is planning to go to war.

Ah, that suddenly explains why in my Earth 28 game, almost everyone had red fists. Thanks

On my first game as well.. Prince on normal speed with 20 civs, and I am steam rolling the comp. It seems to me that the A.I. just doesn't manage the tech tree well enough.

I started with ritualism, and made way to mysticism and priesthood. Founded Hinduism and built Stonehenge and The Oracle with my first two cities, on my way to getting alphabet for free. Playing with Monkut of Siam philosophy/creative. Usually the A.I. beats me to almost everything, but with more options it seems the A.I. doesn't beeline as much. Of course, after I followed the religion path and found most of the early religions, I just bullied the rest of the civs with my culture. Surprise they let me do it, as it was all down hill from there..

The A.I. seems too stuck on which tech path to follow, instead of trying to be more aggressive like in the regular BTS. I might have to leave aggressive AI on or step it up a level.. I guess more games to follow and we'll see how it goes?

Hmm then I guess it's normal for the AI to be a little erratic in this mod... I'll up the difficulty!
