Meanwhile in BE, it's not unusual to see them stick to around 5 or so cities and just stay that way regardless of the difficulty settings. In Civ 5, confrontation was happening all the time because the AI was often aggressively and unapologetically expansionist even at the easier difficulty levels. Whatever patches we might expect in the near or distant future, I think it's safe to say none of them will fix one of the most major problems plaguing BE, namely that the AI is tragically inept and far too passive.
