How strong is AI going to be?

[generalwar]

What do you think about how strong AI is going to be? I mean, now, on upper levels, AI has a grand strategy and is very flexibile and you'll never seen the same AI twice(probably). Won't be civ 5 too hard to play on Immortal or Diety?

How could we possibly know? We haven't played the game, and none of the pre-release information lets us evaluate the strength of the AI.

Aye, pointless to speculate on something we haven't tried out, we don't even know how much "cheating" the AI will do on harder levels, so how can we gauge how hard they will be.

With stack of doom removed i believe the AI will be easier. If they use the same way to boost AI difficulty as in IV and III (haven`t played the other games) you can simply set up your forces at good strategic points, fortress them and let the AI throw everything at you. Chances are you will get tons of exp and leaders, making your quality troops better than their quantity army.

Ofcourse that`s just my speculation. It could be that the AI just gets alot smarter and yet receives no extra hammers/research/etc...
