hi all - i believe there's an error, or at least a strong bias, in how the AI randomizer chooses AI players for the game. in nearly every game, I'm seeing Mama Ocllo, Elissa, Livia Drusilla, Wang Zhenyi, Semiramis, Beowulf, and Gilgamesh. i have only ever seen Ancestor one time, and Walinong Sari never. dozens of games logged. further, downloaded AIs seem to be rarely if ever included. am i doing something wrong?

The obvious solution is for you to stop using the "Random" option and instead choose your own opponents, Is that so hard?

You couldn't pay me to use "random." I want good opponents, tough opponents. I want a nice mixture of aggression and kiss-up. Nothing good ever comes from using "Random", instead it's just a dumpster fire.

thanks for this helpful reply! /s

obviously i can do that. i thought the folks watching the forum might be interested in knowing that i don't think it works.
