Here is a direct quote from (chief dev & CEO) Brad deep in a thread titled "AI isnt very smart.. it Cheats":

"In the future, if someone wants a serious response, they should consider better titles. Having some guy come on and declare that the AI isn't smart AND that it cheats is a bit off putting and erroneous."

I think this deserves its own thread; words matter.

Personally I hope the devs are encouraged by GC2's success and want to continue being devs.

Bring up problems, ctd, bugs, etc. is all good. It's even better if it doesn't dis a dev is the process.

ps. here's Brad's link to his answer (great read): https://www.stardock.com/screenshots/cheatquery/
