It just struck me that I've never seen it happen.

Started a test game and let it run for 40 turns...the graph never changed at all. No wonder the computer uses so much light infantry!

If the computer doesn't like building forts, it ought to be tweaked to choose the really high admin ones, to get more resources. In Dom I the comp build forts, just VERY rarely, and never in the early game. If I remember right.

I actually have seen AI forts appart from the capital. Once or twice that is in something like 20-30 demo games.

The demo is great btw. I just preordered the full game together with Uncommon Valor.

Just like the stronger AI armies.

I confirm.. I've played a "end-turn" only game with 10 AIs, not ONE of them ever build ONE fort in 40 turns !! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif
That's definitely a bug http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

BTW, i have neither built forts or temples in the demo, thanks to the reduced income.

The AI just migth not have the money.

In my Last game (turn 37), I have 3 forts, and Pythium AI 2. So they can build if they want, but do they want? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I saw Ermor building a castle.

I say built because it seemed to me that it was not a "magical castle". But it's not sure.
