Hi guys I have a request for a mod and it's because I think I've worked out why one of the most glaring ai problems happens. And why this problem is most present in slower game modes.
In order to allow us .. and the ai to effectively combat the new psycho barbarians Firaxis decided to make ancient units maintenance free. Unfortunately according to my theories this makes the ai waaay overproduce them. They spam out those warriors because they cost nothing. And there is no formal unit cap based on cities and city size like in civ 5. So they literally fill the map with the damn things. Warriors .. and chariots need to cost the ai something to maintain. SInce the ai doesn't upgrade them since their new maintenance would leave them flat broke.
