You might want to consider making an exception to neutral AI for all difficulties, at a very minimum as an option, to expand your fanbase. Again, this is a feature not seen in other 4X games i know of and in regards to neutral AI, there is no fairness argument
I am probably in the minority here, but I think it's great that the cpu tries to stall out, I think it's a perfectly valid strategy and I'm sure the same complainers have no problem stalling out the AI in their own battles.
I feel really challenged by Caster of Magic and feel that the AI uses smart fortress garrisoning strategies, attacks you at your weakest point, and really am given a mental battle versus usual AIs which kill you with 10x the army but sacrifices 95% of it stupidly to beat you. Thank you for this awesome mod, and I'm looking forward to CoM 2!
PS I'm a software engineer by profession, so willing to chip in if you feel you need any help! This game and Master of Orion are of the timeless classic variety that I feel i will always come back to.
