I have been playing BTS for a couple of weeks now. I find it much more
difficult than Warlords and my usual level (Prince) is now impossible for
me
due to the extreme agressiveness of the AI Civs.
To get around this and to try out the corporations I have tried a couple
of
games with the 'always peace' option on a custom game, so I do not have to
worry about wars. This goes fine until about half way through time, when
the AI Civs research slows to an absolute crawl. I can see from my
espionage that it is taking them about 160 turns to research fairly basic
technologies. I can research every technolgy possible and they are still
in
the middle ages at the end.
I think part of the problem may be because the AI Civs seem to spend every
bit of production on military units, which is strange in a 'no war'
situation.
Is there a solution to this?
Cheers
Mark
