NOT A BUG: WaD: Inflation control by computers?

Inflation control by computers?

In the multiplayer game I am currently in the players are not the most dedicated, and so at different times they will leave or join the game. Now, when the computer takes over their inflation starts to drop, but not all at once, but at a rate of a percent almost every year.

Presumably they are building governors, which has precisely this effect.

Andrew,

Couldn't this be due to the automatic inflation reduction the ai gets towards the player level because the ai can't handle inflation like a human player?

In single player, the ai inflation will usually stay at about 10% or so above the human nation unless it gets into a bankruptcy cycle, but I'm not sure whether the base level in MP is the lowest player inflation or what.

My initial reaction is that this is what's at work. I could be very wrong though.

I talked to the player just now, and he said that he didn't have the tech level to build governors. So it must be the auto reduction. Thanks.
