Is the AI not implemented yet?

from Elemental Forums

The reason I ask is because I have now played 3 different games with large map, multiple continents and the AI does nothing. I've seen a few civilizations now and they have just one city, don't expand further and their units just keep traveling around the city area that's it. I saw two civilizations that had groups of 4 pioneers who just sat there and did nothing. They never try to found other cities. They don't produce any soldiers and have not gone farther than getting to a lvl 2 town. There is enough food plots near them but they also don't build on them so perhaps they aren't doing any research?

I am curious of this as well.  Maybe we are choosing some settings that is putting them into a dormant mode?

I have only played 2 games, to try out both fractions, and in both games I am seeing no AI challenges.  No city attacks, no city building, and no NPC's roaming the map after the first 50-100 turns.   I even added 2 more AI to the default choices of a Large map on the 2nd game (not finished yet).

This is great for learning how to play, but I think others have mentioned that their towns were attacked and the AI was really agressive.  So, no idea.

I just started a new game with just one single continent, large map. I am seeing some things which are different. For example, roaming monsters. I saw no roaming monsters when I did multiple continents and large. Perhaps this time I will see some action from the NPCs.

If you check out Brad's development journals you'll see that there's no AI yet.  He's working on it.
