Multiplayer AI Weak (NOT REGICIDE) Increase the size of your Attachments

My friends and I have been playing Civ3 PTW 1.14f Multiplayer against AI opponants and they have been been EXTREMELY passive. We have been playing hotseat, standard, no alt game types like regicide etc, and have been putting the AI all the way up to Diety, but still it hasn't been a challenge AT ALL, the AI never expands past 6 cities.

Is this just something we have to live with?

Also, there seems to be a bug where you have to start a game twice to make changes stick. So if I start a mass regicide game it will load up and I'll have no kings. Then I'll start it again and it will work.

Any suggestions?

Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

The AI builds more than 6 cities in my MP games.

Put an end to popups!

Pyrodrew, how are you setting up your game? Because we've tried numerous times and we always pull way away from the AI without even really expanding that fast. The AI rarely has more than six cities even though it has plenty of resources like iron and wheat squares which are just begging for a city. We want to play over our heads and have to work together to defeat a massive Diety level AI, but the way it's going we end up creaming each other because the AI isn't any challenge. Again, this is with standard game settings, no whacky capture the princess or anything like that. The only thing we change from stock is Accelerated Production on, but that doesn't seem to throw the AI for a loop in a single player game, so I don't see why it would here. Any patches which make the AI stronger?

Tired of ads?

Have you tried reinstalling the game? That is odd behaviour, and the AI doesn't do that in my game, in normal setting both in SP and MP.

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

I don't know.

I played one Hotseat Emperor game with my borther and it ended up with Chinese AI taking several of my cities.




P.S.
Maybe you turned on Elimination mode.
That could explain passive play of AI.
