How AI thinks in Civ6? (parameters)

Infixo · Mar 14, 2017

Do we know how AI thinks in Civ6? I mean - on the level of parameters in DB - not talking about programmed algorithms in DLL. E.g.
- There are Flavors in Civ5 that say AI the relative value of an object for specific purpose (e.g. what building to build) - what is in Civ6?
- How AI decides on what unit to build?
- There are mods that are supposed to change AI behavior - do they work? To what extent?

2. Not known, supposedly done by dll file
Can be linked to "operations" taken by AI. I suspect it is always "the most advanced available unit in every class". Not sure about class distribution. Read more at discussion thread for 3.
3. AI+ works. It is on the same level of operating as you can find in official patch notes but with focus on making AI smarter.
