The AI in Civ 6 is kind of a mess, I have civs on the other side of the globe I've never interacted with more than a scout passing by once dozens of turns before just declare war on me. Then nothing happened for 3 dozen turns because they couldn't reach me and they sued for peace. That happened multiple times.

I'm an AI modder for Civ. Civ 4, Fall From Heaven AI, Civ 5. Civ 6 hasn't released the source for the DLL, so none of the AI modders can do anything about it's AI. We have the tools, we're aware of how it works, we're just completely held back until Firaxis releases it. Base Civ 5 AI is terrible. Modded Civ 5 AI is glorious. Every single AI modder has quit, waiting for the DLL. I don't even know if we get everyone back the longer they wait. Really disappointing.

  Do you have a recommended AI mod for Civ V? It'd be interesting to get back into it with something like that. I've only ever really played vanilla Civ. (since 2...)

    I have heard good things about the 'Vox Populi' mod, and I've been meaning to try it soon.

  Are Civ5 AI mods allowed when the game comes from Steam? Doesn't Steam do some sort of integrity checking for the game files?

    Can't speak for civ, but steam hasn't ever done any sort of integrity checking for other games in my library. For instance, something like fallout 4 script extender modifies/replaces much of the core game files, and steam hasn't once complained.

  I’ve never met a civ 5 fan that uses AI mods. I’m sure many use AI mods, but I must know a dozen or so fans of Civ 5 and none of them play with mods, just expansions. Most didn’t move on to Civ 6, but “no AI mods” wasn’t a complaint that I heard.
