AI late game still fail?

[Vacloud]

Hey all. I took a big break from the game after I kept seeing the AI on deity stay in first government for most of the modern age and not making units(aircraft) etc. Has that gotten better? If you can recommend mods that make the AI smart in late game, that would be helpful. I tried a bunch of AI mods so far on steam and none of them fix those issues.

Being in modern area and seeing a civs still classical republic is just frustrating to see.

You can rush ahead of the AI, the government type doesn't mean they're behind, it means they might be refusing to "upgrade."

Both of those things you've mentioned have been tweaked in patches. They changed government type priority for the AI (a big problem was that they avoided some of the research needed) and also re-balanced aircraft stats and priorities.

But the AI hasn't really been fundamentally improved. If it bothered you enough to stop playing before it'll probably still bother you.

Pro Tip: play CivVI on Deity without any playmodes active. The AI shines.

Especially, avoid things like Corporations mode, it breaks the AI into being worthless.

sad part is, the ai on deity is not any better it just cheats more.

If you mean, can you rush bombers and still crush the AI, then the answer is yes. You can still do that.
