This is not an indictment of the Players or the Modders but rather one against the developers, who time and again fail to replicate the sitautions and AI of an almost 30-year old program, written in DOS and barely 13 Mb in size.
A pox on all of their houses...

Maybe it's IQ decreasing year after year ?
We should also keep in mind that they are not free, and often or always asked to produce games in a short time. So, having to work harder on the graphics side, they have less time for history and AI codding... This is just a guess...
Graphics have now reached an incredible level. It would be time to work on other aspects, and AI is the main objective. But maybe it requires more clever devs... i don't know.
