I had a question regarding the state of the AI, or more specifically, the state of multiplayer AI.
A friend and I used to play (way back to civ 2) multiplayer 'co-op', just us together with bunch of AI's around. Now the base civ 5 game completely screwed this over, since the AI isn't great in singleplayer, but multiplayer AI is even worse (for those that don't know, it's dumbed down and gutted, it's absolutely terrible)
For this purpose we used to play with JDH's active AI, which switched the multiplayer AI for a singleplayer one (a .dll swap afaik, back then it was with a special launcher for it)
Now i know how to play vox populi multiplayer, i have the modpack created properly, but i'm curious. We did a trial run like months back, and back then to me (who also played a lot of singleplayer vox populi) it felt like the AI wasn't playing on the same level as singleplayer. Making me wonder if vox populi multiplayer AI is actually still a dumbed down version of it?
Does anyone know if this is true? Or what the general state of vox populi multiplayer AI is. I know it's kinda a niche market, most players either play single player or only vs humans on multiplayer. But i'm just curious if someone knows the finer details. Especially with all the recent (this year) AI improvements having been done to vox populi.
