Civ AI Survivor: Season Five

[GeneralKilCavalry]

Could the EP difference between observer and AI be prompting AI espionage spending? Or is the AI unaffected?

No it definitely has a huge effect and has been brought up basically every season. I think it really skews things since once a civ hits a breakpoint against sullla in courthouses or whatever they can turn off their espionage slider and launch their research way above their competitors still wasting a fifth of their entire GDP on the observer civ.

Can't remember which poster has posted the text edit solution to this for several years and sullla keeps saying he doesn't want to mod the game.

But it is the debug mode that enables zooming into cities, correct? So wouldn't it be better to dump espionage buildings and specialists in the observer capital, allowing for demo visibility, but not skewing results?
