AI Personalities

AI Personalities, also known as Civilization Behaviours, affect the behavior of the Civilization when it is commanded by the AI.

Along with the other Civilization Abilities and Traits, Behaviours help to shape how the Civilization will play. Picking the right combination of Civilizations to face off against is an integral component in creating the perfect game experience for the player: pick too many aggressive factions and the game could be very difficult and overly war focused, while picking too many passive Civilizations could make the game dull for players who are more combat-oriented.
