[Bug/Gameplay/AI] v.0.262 AI builds two large improvement and can't expand thus (no houses)

from Elemental Forums

The AI built a kingdom palace and a woodcutter. Each of those needs 4 tiles, thus making building of houses impossible. Stagnating the AI city forever.

 

8 free tiles - 2 x 4 tile buildings = stagnation

 

(The more buildings that are available makes the problem with the current housing system even more obvious, since you can easily overbuild your city so it can't grow anymore.)

Yeah, we have since made some changes internally.  Thanks for the post.

I think that there might need to be something done about this in general.  Especially with your first city being next to a farm tile, it is the instinctive thing to build the palace and a farm.  But this screws you over completely.  Perhaps the palace coule give you enough population to get you to the next city level?
