Great Game - But at upper levels, AI is broken – Le Havre (The Harbor) Review

Very fun strategy game - as challenging as Caylus and the lower levels of AI opponent skills makes it excellent and totally worth the price. That said, at the higher levels, you’ll find that your AI opponents will have FAR more buildings than would seem normal. At first I suspected it, and now, 5 games in a row, I can confirm: AI opponents will purchase buildings WITHOUT the proper resources. Examples of AI purchases, 5 player game... Game 1: Round one, TURN ONE: Shipping Line! 3 Brick and 1 Wood. After, AI still has 5 wood and 2 clay in inventory! Game 2: Round one, TURN ONE: Hardware Store! 3 Wood and 1 Clay. Where did Wood #3 come from? Game 3: Round five: AI has 72 points of buildings already!!!! Seriously? Game 4: Round one: AI has 2 turns. Purchases both Abattoir and Wharf. That’s 3 Wood + 3 Clay + 3 Iron. Fuzzy math?...lol Enjoy the game against lesser AI opponents - they don’t cheat. Upper levels appear to have god-like powers to buy things with invisible resources. Btw...this may be an internal database problem...If you uninstall then re-install, the problem goes away for several games before rearing its ugly head once again. ;^}
