	Question about MOO3 Multiplayer Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I have a question about MOO3 multiplayer that perhaps reviewers or others with the game can answer:

In MOO2, my friends and I had great fun setting up LAN games with a mixed set of human players and computer players. For example, 2-3 of us would play a network game with 3 or so computer opponents to "mix things up". We'd set the difficulty for the computer players to impossible, and if some of the computer players got too powerful, we, the human players, would forge an alliance and try to take down the powerful computer player. Added a great dimension to the game. My fondest memories of MOO2 multiplayer were from this kind of scenario.

So, my question:

Does MOO3 multiplayer support computer players in multiplayer games? Or are we just stuck with human players? If this feature has been stripped out, this is going to be HORRIBLY disappointing for me and my friends.

You can have multiple computer players. If you like, you can play it so that it's damn hard to know which is human and which is computer.

Up to 16 total, of course, so the max is X humans, 16-X AI, where X is 1-8.
