Scenario / Handicap / Crappy AI

[XerbSys]

Hello,

i've build a little scenario for a relaxed game on prince. 12 Civiliziations, 10 City states and almost original rules*. As i said, i choosed prince as difficulty, but the AI play really crappy. Almost no wars, siege units aren't used at all, and once the (small) start-continent is full no more expansions are build. Has the "Handicap" Setting in the world builder something to do with this? I left this on "Chieftain" setting, but was sure, that was overwritten by the general difficulty, which obviosly doesn't happen. I'm I on the right track, or lies the problem somewhere else?

Thanks a lot!

I came looking for the same info as I also made a scenario and the AI was beyond crappy. Being that this thread was posted a few weeks, it wasn't that bad of a resurrection, maybe still looking for the answer?

I found this thread: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=395462 and I'm going to try it when I get home. If any one has any additional info on making the AI play better, please let me/us know.

The AI is going to play bad because it's on Prince, and the Prince AI (well to be fair, the AI on any difficulty) is just laughable.

This is nothing different than the base game.

So I tried what GenericPlayer suggested in the link I posted above, and the scenario I built was much more enjoyable. The AI actually built cities and attacked me.
