[GodsHand]

Mimetic polyalloy.

[Lazyeye79]

This... is totally awesome!!!

[MicrocutsX2]

Wow, I remember computers being able to beat players in chess but now civilization...it's kinda scary if you ask me.

[GodsHand]

It is seeing now it can determine how a civ is started, and then destoryed. It could be a real game changer in the future against other nations.

[guitarded77]

Nah, we can trick the computers by giving them manuals with faulty information.

[Bay]

Does this mean that, in the future, we will be able to face against AI opponents that know the game in and out and will repeatedly crush you at every turn, unless you're smarter than it? :D

[GodsHand]

Smarter, or just able to use expolits. If I hear, or find an exploit in a game I use it to my advantage.

[Neckbear]

No, because that'd put off valuable customers.

Gotta make that AI as retarded as possible to make even a monkey feel like a champion.

[Bay]

Good point, haha.

[shak]

ohh, awesome

[aaagamer]

Technology is getting too advanced.

[Gordo789]

Christ, it's only a matter of the time before the machines rise up against us with units of Phalanx, Elephants and Catapults!
