The BetterAI Project is located on Sourceforge. You can download the latest version, sources, and development documentation from that site. Builds are available for both Warlords and Vanilla Civ.
Better AI improves the AI's decision making, enabling the AI to put up a stronger game with less reliance on handicaps and ultimately to play a balanced game more like a human. Better AI improves nearly every aspect of the AI, for example the AI is capable of pursuing Cultural Victories and militarily it is far less of a pushover. It falls into less traps than the normal AI, with superior research choices, the Governor functions are improved for both Human and AI players, the Automated workers are also improved for both Human and AI.
Gameplay compatibility is preserved with the exception of a few bug fixes and other "Grey areas", the most noteworthy being the starting point code, Better AI eliminates very close start points and generally makes starts a bit fairer or less absurd (in a nutshell this is because the starting point code was inadvertently changed in Warlords patch 2.08).
Save game compatibility is also preserved, you can thus start or stop using Better AI at will.
Better AI is moving toward its 1.0 release, expect a more detailed list of features for that release here.
Better AI development will continue post 1.0 release.
