AI cheats?

[Dazzle1988]

Hello folks

has anyone else noticed that when the AI of 2 stars and higher establish an island, they seem to be able to advance significantly faster and build faster than a gamer?

Yes, AI cheats. Same as in previous versions.

You did realize that AI has unlimited money, uses production buildings completly independend from production chains, doesn't need any workforce, creates ships out of thin air and doesn't consume or trade any ressources?

You can call that cheating... but basically the AI just builds stuff randomly following a simple script that only defines the general layout. Totally independend from every game mechanic. To even call it AI is somewhat insulting to AI's :)

What really pisses me off is that they can build defenses in a port that you have totally blockaded. For example, I lost an island but then took it right back and they for sure never had a ship get close enough to drop off resources for cannons.

Yet, like 3 minutes before the ceasefire ends they started sprouting up a bunch of cannons RIGHT in front of my waiting ships. Cheating is lame as hell.
