Does the AI ever create anti-popes?

Does the AI ever create anti-popes? I have never seen it in any of my games. I wish they would, because it is very boring/annoying seeing a pope have 100 moral authority despite all of spain and france under the muslim hold. (I think they should make it so if Muslims control all of Spain it lowers Pope authority over time until it is no longer 100% muslim)

Anyway, yeah, does anyone know if if the AI ever makes anti-popes? If they do, when do they do so? Because I have never seen it.

If AI does not make anti-popes, then what is the use for having three possible antipopes in the religious tab? why not just one?

It's never happened in any of my games either. So your at least not the only person.

That is very disappointing. AI should make anti-popes

It's another decision. AI are very bad at doing decisions smartly. Therefore, AI are banned from making most decisions. There's some post on the topic of why AI don't commit suicide that explains this.

Apparently the AI decision making doesn't work as a probability, it works like a bucket being filled. So if the value for a given decision is at .5, the AI will NEVER make that decision. Once it increases to 1, the bucket is full, and the decision fires. That's how somebody else described it anyways, I haven't gone into the code.

Yeah thats basicly the gist of it.

Computers only think in 0's and 1's, true or false.

The trick into coding something like this is by making the bucket size variable under certain conditions. But what determines wether it should increase in importance or decrease? There are way to many factors a human brain can instantly determine by a few glances but a computer needs advanced algorithmes and flowcharts to even get a basic conceptualization of the problem at hand.
