That's a good question. For years, some of us would chuckle because every time a new version was released, heck, sometimes just for a patch, Markus would be barking about the "Improved AI!"
Undoubtedly, there have been improvements over the years. It just was difficult to see them sometimes from one version to the next.
However, and I said this just recently here, it is my opinion that version 14 introduced some new level of AI performance by which it became much more difficult to dominate the game after several seasons. One used to see threads titled "Game too easy" and "How to ramp up the challenge?" I'm not seeing those threads with this version.
I can attest from my own experience that I have been UNABLE to
consistently dominate my league in OOTP 14, and that is a first for me. I have won, yes, but there have been times when I have stunk for quite a few season in a row
, all the while trying my hardest to build a winner.
As it should be - as in real life, where there are no guarantees of a championship no matter how good a GM you are and how much money you spend.
