Weird AI behavior at the beginning.

There are times(More like most of the time?) some AI builds so extremely slow or I dunno what's the appropriate term like they will take a while to build stuff until Battle Lab at the start of the game.

For instance, they've now build Power Plants, Refinery, Barracks, and Radar but they'll stuck there for long periods of time as if they're not planning to build next buildings particularly War Factory and Battle Lab. UNTIL someone attacks and destroys some of their bases then that's the only time they'll decide to rush build the remaining structures that they need to build.

It's kind of annoying behavior especially if I'm going 1v7 because of course I'd focus 1 enemy first then that means the other 4-6 enemies(Seems like it depends on the map too?) wouldn't just rush build their stuffs.

The order of BuildingTypes is completely fine so I can't tell why they're acting this way.

Can't say what is causing it.

Check if it can build power plants when in shortage. Check buildtime and
cost of those buildings. Give more money at start - AICM. Play in maps
with more base space.

Are all the AI at same difficulty?

Yes they do build power plants when on low power and the build time and costs of the buildings are normal. ($2000 for both War Factory and Battle Lab and I never set or never touched the BuildTimeMultiplier so it should be 1)

And I always make sure I play in maps with more spacings because my AI teams have 10-15 units per team so I know it'll be an issue if I play in maps with less space.

And yes all of them are on the same difficulty.

For now I'll try to increase the AICM again if it might fix the issue.

I experienced this phenomena when I modified prerequisites, it particularly broke Yuri. I had found a fix by not allocating multiple powerplants to a single side (except soviet). It may be that it is confused as to what it needs to build. Especially if there are multiple power plants listed in the same tier for the same side.
