With machine learning, there’s no reason we can’t have better AI other than cost. I hope strategy games eventually look into this.

If I got a single wish for a new Civ edition, it would be game AI that scaled well without cheating.

Machine learning is irrelevant to the sort of AI used in a game like this.

It worked for StarCraft. You train a model on human gameplay and then have it play the game.

I’d just settle for competent AI at any difficulty. I only ever had a few runs in Civ6 because the AI consistently fell apart in late game. Conversely, it’s why I had over 1000 hours in Civ5. Yes, it cheated, but once I started to ignore that, it was really satisfying to climb the difficulty ladder and still feel challenged even into the late eras most of the time.
