A question about the AI and city defenses...

Is there a way to change the AI behavior in order for them to upgrade their city forts? (like they do in empire) Can you also make them upgrade their damn logging camps? I swear the AI is trying to lose. Sorry if this has been disscused before, but the TWC search sucks...

about your question, I'm not really sure. The AI probably doesn't upgrade forts because they're extremely costly, and that makes it prioritize other builds. Possibly lowering their prices would help.

But the AI building no forts isn't all that bad, considering how much sieges suck in this game. I'm more pissed at other inconsistencies, like the british AI never making the slightest effort to defend gibraltar from Spain, or to even build a PORT there lol.

Forts suck and are insanely expensive so it makes sense for the AI to not bother about them. They do upgrade roads and villages i see it happen all the time.

Well, regardless of whether forts suck, even if I give the AI 1,000,000 in funds they still dont build them. Yeah, I know they upgrade their roads and everything with the exception of thier logging camps, which is really annoying to me, and obviosly some kind of bug... what else is new. But my original question was if there was something in the AI behavior I could change, or maybe there is something in the Stratpos.esf I could change to make every city start with a basic defense level. I probably should of posted in the mod help.

Why would you want to? sieges are horrible

Yeah, I noticed that too. They do occasionally upgrade factories, universities, etc. but I've never seen the AI build even a single logging camp improvement.
