It's been some time now (and one major patch!), and I think it's time to try and create a list of all gameplay problems which we've noticed, and suggest improvements. Note that I don't mean bugs and crashes (that would be technical problems) - I mean concepts which we think should be changed, improved, etc. It would be great if any admin has a direct contact with Firaxis and a way to send them this list - I think that we are some of the most dedicated players of Civilization games, and are qualified to propose changes.
I'm gonna start:
General Gameplay:
- I think that the AI doesn't construct enough planes in the late game. In fact, I played 5 or 6 games to the latest stages already, and if I'm not mistaken I didn't encounter a single airplane built by the enemy, even when encountering supposedly warlike civilizations like Germany! This is clearly a problem, because the AI doesn't take advantage of one major part of the game.
- The AI doesn't seem to construct Neighborhoods. I doubt it's because all of their cities are so perfectly developed as not to need additional Housing, or because they're afraid of Partisans...
- As a direct consequence of the above, the Spy can never perform the Partisan mission.
