I was wondering if anyone had a list of the general dispositions of the AI civilizations (aggressive expansionist, civilized perfections, and the like) as well as any known definitions of the terms. Also, I'm curious as to the opinions in the Apolyton community of the most difficult AI civs to challenge. I find the Babylonians are generally the best computer opponent. I'd like to add the AI civ behavioral profiles to the Distilled Tips thread. Also, any other information regarding selecting a civ--advantages and disadvantages--would be appreciated. I've heard that the Romans generally get the best starting location as the computer seeds new civs by rating the starting locations and placing the Romans in the sweet spot, but this may or not be true. Thanks! |

I seem to remember reading on one of the threads that the starting position was in fact determined by the color of your Civ. The post indicated that any Civ with the white shield was the first Civ placed, and consequently got the best starting position. I don't know if this is true or not though. I've definately gotten some crappy starting locations playing as the Romans before. |

Well, I interrogated the Rules.txt file to pull all the civ attitudes and dispositions. The Civilized/Militaristic classification relates to which technologies are researched first by the AI. The Expansionist/Perfectionist classification relates to the number of cities the AI tries to build (many vs. few). I'm not sure what results from Agressive/Rational behavior, perhaps it is more easy to demand tribute or negociate and trade with rationalist civs? Here is the compilation:
Aggressive(1)/ Rational(-1)
Expansionist(1)/ Perfectionist(-1)
Civilized (1)/ Militaristic(-1)Romans_______Civilized Expansionist
Babylonians__Rational Civilized Perfectionist
Germans______Aggressive Civilized Perfectionist
Egyptians____Civilized
Americans____Civilized Rationalist
Greeks_______Militaristic Expansionist
Indians______Rational Perfectionist
Russians_____Aggressive Militarist
Zulus________Aggressive
French_______Aggressive Civilized Expansionist
Aztecs_______Civilized Perfectionist
Chinese______Civilized
English______Expansionist
Mongols______Aggressive Militaristic Expansionist
Celts________Rational Expansionist
Japanese_____Aggressive Militaristic Perfectionist
Vikings______Aggressive Expansionist
Spanish______Rational Militaristic Expansionist
Persians_____Perfectionist
Carthaginian_Militarist
Sioux________Neutral
Arabs________Aggressive Civilist
Incas________Rational Civilized Expansionist
