Is AI ever forging items?

That's sad.

In a recent game, I had found my very first AI true Thug : by luck, the AI had managed to fully equip its prophet (LA arco Hoplite commander). The prophet had : lucky (from the sword), fireshield (shield), an armor value of 22 (23 head) from its good armor and as well as Krupps' bracers (armor and defense + reinvigoration), and he add a total defense of 28 (including his heroic ability).

He also add another misc item, but I don't recall what it was.

Most of the time, he was behing his army casting smite and other holy spells, until this great battle when one of his mages cast berserk on him.

This hero died only versus a squad of my sacred units (with F9 blessing and 21 attack value each + fire weapon, even then it took several round to kill him)

Grab one of my chaos maps and you will find all kinds of strange units scattered around with magic equipment

I am afraid, my machine won't be able to handle turns on any map, bigger than small..

The AI definitely forges items. As a matter of fact he loves to put 2 shields on most of his commanders in my games.

Definitely sounds like time to upgrade into a new system.

Thats the advantage of playing on a server also. Eventually I will start some mega games. Altho it appears I will not be able to host any 79 nation games since that capability has been "fixed". Now a game can only be one era unless someone wants to make MODs available to change that.
