The Diplomatic AI in MP

[Akaoz]

Does the AI still not make contact with human players in MP?

 

[Gort]

That's right. It sucks.

It works normally in hotseat (and therefore GMR) as far as I know.

 

[Arksa]

Are they also brain dead or do they play like in SP?

They play like SP as in they will declare war on you and then lose their army for nothing, accept deals that are bad for them, refuse deals that are good for them, etc...

 

[Akaoz]

So... AI still broken in MP?

 

[tommynt]

just brokken everywhere

 

[Akaoz]

Heh, indeed. But, will the AI still not initiate diplomacy in multi-player?

 

[tommynt]

last thing i want is a ai contacting me start of turn while real oppoentns (humans) kill my units.

Truly wonder why people dont see the obvious and ask same (not so clever) stuff over and over

 

[Akaoz]

tommynt: So this is a feature? Why isn't this a feature in SP too?

 

[tommynt]

because in SP the game is stoped once ai contacts u while in mp the timer have to be running - or u want have 5+ guys other do nothing while u try deal with ai?

 

[Akaoz]

And the game can't do this in MP because? Oh yes simultaneous turns. That can't be turned off...

How was this handled in Civ4?
