The AI is stupid.

[Oerdin]

I've taken 6 out of 8 cities, I have over a dozen units to their zero units, I offer peace at neutral term and the AI refuses. They should be begging me to let them live and the dumb turbs are literally facing annihilation yet they refuse an extremely generous offer of peace. The AI is worthless and stupid.

Oerdin's masterpiece was written 29 September 2010, it is now 02 December 2010 and the AI is still stupid. Will a mod sticky this topic to save energy?

The AI patches to date include: addition of basic retreat battle intelligence, and the inclination to maintain a naval reserve.

Yeah, the AI isn't so good in this game. lol

The naval AI is terrible. Sometimes you can bleed out an enemy ship without being attacked yourself (especially if there's a barbarian trireme nearby), which just makes me lol.

On the same vein of not accepting peace when they are almost defeated, the AI also gives unreasonable demands for peace when it may have a slight advantage. I have had many wars where I defend perfectly with no loses and decimate their attacking army yet when they bring me an offer of peace they want half my cities, all my gold, all my resources. Its ********.
