AI played Empire and did build a farm and a bakery, but did not build a mill. Is that intended? Cheers Waldecker Yesterday I stood before an abyss, today I'm one step further Top Quote

Does a replay also help? Yesterday I stood before an abyss, today I'm one step further Top Quote

There is a possibility to improve but I am not sure whether it would fix it Top Quote

I think when giving a bit more priority to the economy instead of military in the early phase of a game might fix it. Yesterday I stood before an abyss, today I'm one step further Top Quote

In some cases, AIs may be designed to adapt to different situations and make decisions based on the resources and constraints they are facing. APKLUB Top Quote

Waht it does is simply ti determine what building is needed most in the economy, based on a scoring system and including military buuldings. then it checks a number of fields and scores them for being suited for the most needed buildings. if expansion is needed Military buildin gs get a higher score, if the enemy is near as well. Neededness for expansion is decided on available space and available mining fields and available build materials and some other factors. That is (simplified of course) the concept of the AI.
