I would take the AI as is if I could just play the game, but I have finally had to give up on it completely. A bunch of my save games have finally disappeared and nothing I do with my computer config, video card drivers, or memory mgmt helps. It now crashes within the first ten minutes regardless. It has literally become unplayable. It's really rather outrageous that it's still being marketed, in spite of all the bad reviews and heads-ups posted by purchasers. I have no idea how people are playing this title long enough to get into discussions of the details of its workings.
