Thank you for the overview. As spectator is saw that the Brutal AI automatically earns money/resources also if the AI has no refinery. Is this behavior the same over all differnet AIs and how much is it?

And a second question is the behavior of the Naval AI.

Thank you very much.

No probs.

Ah yea I missed that off the list. Normal and above get a bit of money if they have less than $2500 in the bank.

Every 18 seconds:

• Normal gets $500
• Hard gets $750
• Very Hard gets $1000
• Brutal gets $1250

For comparison a single harvester averages around $650 in the same amount of time.

The Naval AI gets no bonuses at all, and was really just a workaround for playing island maps with no bridges (to stop the AI building ground forces that would just be stuck forever), but it probably needs a rework. I'd just avoid playing those maps.
