This idea comes from AnnihilatorX. I know it's simple, but I think it's brilliant. So, GPG and Stardock, please think about this. And EVEN IF you didn't completely remove the gold/exp awarded from killing an AI, you could at least cut it by 3/4 or something. Please consider this because at the moment, if a player drops early in the game, it's almost futile to even keep trying. If a player drops late in the game when everyone is higher level, it's not AS MUCH as an issue, but the farming issue definitely still causes problems. So, think about it, and let us know?!

I think the whole thing depends on how much u want to cry about finishing a game.
In Custom, if someone drops, why bother sitting around to get beaten by a team with more players? If you can beat such a team, you were always going to win or u had already won. Just finish and start a new game. It's not like u lose points or ranking or anything. Of course, u might want to test yourself to see if u can beat unblanced teams. Whatever. U don't need AI.
In Pantheon, if your team mate drops, think whether you can beat your opponents even tho u are man down. If the answer is YES, good luck, get some points. If no, quit. Start a new game.
It's Pantheon, man up and stop whining about wanting an AI 'helper'.
The trouble with AI is that u don't want something artifical dictating the outcome of a MP game, whether it be because they give too much gold/xp OR cos they make the AI too useful (ie make him rock hard).
BUT, in Custom, it doesn't really matter what u have I suppose. Hell, for all I care, put in an option that lets you replace a human with a nuclear powered grenade launching assassin... oh wait, that's Regulus... hur hur...
Pantheon must NEVER have ANY AIs in it.
Random teams, equal number of players, no AI. First to 1 mill.
Sure, whatever. Most anything is better than the proposal in the OP.
I'm glad that people at least realize the exploitability of AI.
