Is there a standard AI research path? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Can't recall if this has been covered before or not.

But, it there a standardized order of techs the AI will research,
or is it all random?

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

My understanding is that the AIs will pick a tech to research based on what that tech will provide. So each is weighted according to what units/resources/buildings/wonders/diplo options/etc. they will provide versus cost to research.

That said, the AIs do seem to wander down the same path from game to game.

nothing hard coded, note the AU mod.

they moved the pyramids to mathematics, and the AI gets that a lot earlier now

the AI seems to have a sense of what it wants/needs, but there are definately standardized patterns for similiar games.

Tired of ads?

It seems likely that a civ's traits will influence its research path.

Hopefully pointing to That Other Place every once in a blue moon won't bring great wrath upon me, but the formula can be found at:
