UPDATE: The AI Fix is going to take slightly longer than planned. AI won't be available in Online Multiplayer for a few days, as we address the root of the issue.

AI will still be available in Single Player and Hotseat Games. We expect AI to be back online early next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
