I would like to put forth the idea that we should be able to make our own AI Personas for our internal library using the traits that we have unlocked instead of having to rely upon selecting either the pre-made personas or the personas of other players. I really don't know why this was chosen to be restricted to some kind of faux multiplayer integration.

And while this one's a minor complaint: I don't like being forced to either use the defaults or a persona named "xXl33th4x0rXx" because I, personally, find it a bit jarring outside of actual multiplayer.

In other words, adding to your complaint, let us give a proper name to our AI Personas.

Yes, this is probably one of my most desired features after you guys get the worst of the bugs ironed out. I'd really like to be able to play as one, level it up and then swap it for another one and play against my own creations.

I been looking for and upvoting any forums about this topic.

I do not care about creating an AI persona for "myself". Want I always wanted was to create AI "characters" to play against and share. I'm not sure about the AI system having buffs the player do not have access to, sounds like creating. But I love the concept of giving an AI bias towards play styles.

I have been enjoying the game itself. Actually learning how to play a 4X game for once. However I refuse to dress up my avatar, sticking with Poe. I have no interest in downloading random players AI Personas. I find them all to be boring and uninteresting. What is interesting is fighting against the presets of assuming historical characters. I only want to see dumb Internet names if I am actually playing against the person online together.

You know, I'd be a lot happier about them if we were at least able to rename our avatars because some of those G2G forum handles are just massively immersion breaking. My avatar, Kutuzov, is a female and looks a lot like Eowyn from the LOTR. But she's called Kutuzov. That's not the worst though as some folks have names like 12345joX.

BTW, my avatar is female because I can't create an avatar that looks much like me so I went for something close to Elisabeth I and then saw Eowyn and decided to stick with that.

After having unlocked some awards, I have been able customise my avatar so that she's an Advanced AI avatar so I can see a reason for why the devs have made one avatar per profile. I'd still like more but I can see the idea. BTW, she's not a showboater that gets a 30% boost to Fame earned. That's a pretty OP power and I can see folks barring these at some point.
