Artificial intelligence
The Definitive Edition AI manages its late-game workload more efficiently and has received behavior improvements for island invasions, Deathmatch openings, hunting Boars, trade routes, and freeing stuck Trade Carts. These describe the current AI’s supported behavior; individual decisions still depend on the map and match situation.
Overview

How this system affects decisions
Economic systems are shaped by worker travel, access to safe resource sites, and the time spent gathering versus building or moving. Compare a change by how many workers it affects and how long it remains useful, then balance it against the food, wood, gold, and population required to keep the army active.
