AI The ESSENTIAL ingrediant...
Im new to the forum, and consider myself a Civ Fan. Ive played all the variants over the years, including the abysmal Call To Power 2.

Scanning this group, I only saw the importance of the AI mentioned in a couple of headers. Without a good AI, all the nicest play mechanics, animated units, neato things to build, terrain effects etc etc will mean jack-squat.

Alpha Centauri's AI was good in many respects, and far better than CTP2's hopeless AI. It does worry me though that there is not much AI discussion here or even a detailed explanation over at the official site on what we can expect. Will the AI overly cheat? Will it use diplomacy correctly..etc

For a good AI check out Starships Unlimited www.apezone.com A much simpler game than CIV, but a tremandous AI nonetheless.

I am SO hoping Civ3 has a quality computer oppenent taht is both capable, but doesnt achieve its ends by blatant cheating and stats fudging.
