Ai not working on custom maps (1.2)

It took me some time to find out whats going on. The AI plays craps (as cakewalk) on custom maps, even when I give them top homeworlds, there hapens nothing. When I press "turn", I can make the next decisions. But on random generated maps, the AI plays quite great. Between the turns I can realy feel the AI computing its next turn, as it always take some seconds before I can give new orders again. There have to be done something. I dont like the random generator as it keeps creating odd galaxies, so I have to stick with custom maps, but they wont work.

What difficulty level are you playing at? It could be that the AI is just trying to improve their super great homeworlds rather than expanding early.

Check the difficulty of each race, there is a bug where they reset to cakewalk.

Cake walk = moron for AI move up to at least normal or challenging.

i play regulaly at "crippling", I double checked the AI seting and it was correct.

The super great homeworld was just a test because the civs did nothign, so I wanted to give them at least a good "homesystem", but as it dont work either, I reseted it back to normal.

SO I realy have no idea whats going on on custom maps. On random generated I have to wait and wait and wait and sometimes it gets annoying, even when in an full abundant galaxy there are 30% empty sectors (once again for the devs, cant repeat this enough until its fixed ^^) and the rest of the galaxy is filled at 40% class 0 and 30% class 5-9 worlds. Custom maps... I press turn and can play in the same second again. Strange.
