freeciv ai is broken dont say it isnt because it is.

I guess the AI must be coded as if you were playing a game where each turn is played by a different player that has no idea what the previous player was trying to do.Īlso, the AI in freeciv is pretty fast, even on old devices, so I guess it must decide based on rough estimations, and simple algorithms. You must take into account that AI can take control of any player at any moment, so it must be able to play on the fly, without planned movements. I think AI requires some adjustments, but I do not think it is fair to call it lame. Workers management - fail, defence - fail, attack - fail, choosing proper buildings - fail, unit movement - fail, diplomacy - fail.

Overall - AI have no idea at all what to do, it doesn't do any single task properly. if u give very farmed civilization to ai it will go communism probably and sell buildings/disband units, starve cities or maybe even it will go anarchy and stay in anarchy to have 0 building upkeep :D

U just need to survive early game, with cannons u can easily start killing all ai. if u play against 20 allied AI it will always randomly move via your terriory, if u keep 2 phalnxes in city with walls and some chariots/catapults u can easily snipe units each turn. There is 0 coordnination between units, each unit plays YOLO. if u put a lot of units near ai u will see it's randomness - its often doing something like - 'I have 6 phalanxes in city, i will take 5 and put it next to your catapult' send ironclad, if it sees that city is defended by phalanx, or just some weak unit - kill it,Ĭhance that it will drop musketer to take empty city, is ultra small ( it would be totally random, by sending random tranport with 1 unit ) send chariot somewhere - if it sees empty city take it,Ĭhance that it will send 2 chariots and attack your city with phalanx inside, and conquer city is very small
