I hear this alot. "Honor SP tree is overkill since the AI sucks". True or False?

[Artifex1]

I like honor because I have had my ass kicked by the AI quite a bit early at times with rushing some of my far flung cities. It seems honor helps me when fighting wars, but then again maybe I am not that good, lol.

Funny, I've never actually heard that once. While the A.I. isn't great - on higher difficulties with many civs you can find yourself constantly at war so honor can help immensely.

Honor is the one SP I take nearly every gave because it helps attack and defense and assists with most strategies and situations.

New honor is amazing, you should be able to get atleast 3 extra happiness per city. The combat and xp bonuses are just icing on the cake
