I guess by now most people have noticed that AI opponents in 2.2 can't keep up economically into the mid-late game. I've seen people claim that the AI is totally incapable of managing the new systems, but I believe it's caused by a far simpler issue:
The AI doesn't seem to upgrade resource buildings at all. This isn't noticeable early-game, so I didn't realise this at first. However at about year 300 they're sitting on tons of unemployment and unused resources, including the special resources needed to upgrade their resource buildings.
Has anyone else seen this? I hope that I'm right, because if so it will be easily hotfixed early next week and I can get back to playing.
