1 year ago Aside from bonus xp for units and great generals, encampments and their buildings come in very handy in the late game for building nukes. They help with stockpiling uranium which can take a while from its discovery till researching fusion. Hence, having a large stockpile of uranium once fusion is researched, enables putting all cities in making nukes and erasing the world soon after :)
[from Steam workshop] Juvenile 24 Aug, 2020 @ 12:14pm for conquering victory: ai loves building military area, for most of the time they build military area first in a new city even when there's not much threat or adjacent countries or players to conquer. They dont really like to build commercial or industry to develop faster, which makes later game simple. And they dont build academy or theater at all, so they just got stuck and develop very slow. Besides, they dont like to expand, they build new cities very slow even when there is still many good positions.

@juvenile Encampments are considered a “military” district by the AI because they produce Great Generals. Vanilla AI gives them a huge priority because of that. RST counters that to some extent but it is not possible to eliminate this effect completely.

Reat 20 Jul, 2022 @ 2:31pm Excellent mod, although I find it makes the AI too defensive. What values would I need to tweak to reduce their encampment spam/non-aggressive strategies?
