Is it possible that the ai is the best while in thier uus age and then is not as good any other time

 

[No.Dice]

Well they usually get their golden age shortly after the UU becomes available, so that certainly helps. The extra money allows them to put more into scientific research, as well as negotiate military alliances more readily. Extra production allows them to create units faster. Since their golden age was most likely triggered by their UU in wartime, this could give them an advantage in numbers. Conquering territory certainly rockets you up to the top on the scoreboard.

I haven't noticed the AI becoming drastically worse when their UU becomes obsolete.

It could be said that the human is best during the age where their UU is available too.

I am talking about the whole age not just the golden age and while the uu is useful

You might have noticed this because the AI seems to be stronger in the earlier part of the game. After railroads, their combat tactics don't come close to a human players. Combine their early strength with the fact that so many of the civs have early age UUs which augment their strongest part of the game with a golden age, and they can seem quite a bit more powerful early on than they do later in the game. But the same thing can be said about a human player too. Someone playing persia will have far more success in general than someone playing germany in an ancient war. But if you advance the time frame to tanks, all things being equal, German panzers will have far more success in a war than persian tanks.

On Cheiftain I am modern armor he is industrial age he was growing like crazy against Iriqouis and is giving me a bit of trouble with calvalry. Then with panzers he is starting to weaken because he just got to the Modern age or at least that is what it seems like
( This was just a game for the fun of it to kick some butt and to have all out battles when I reach modern age cause I always win befoe that on Regent)
