Can the AI still teleport (normal difficulty)

My question is:
can the AI still teleport units to form a line while playing on normal difficulty?
If I remember correctly there had been a bug which enables the AI to do this.
But maybe I am mistaken and remember this not correctly.

As far as I know the AI should only be able to teleport at higher difficult level.

Basically yes. Units note a location they want to move to, and on the following turn they can move to a hex near this location. So it is delayed. Howver since many units are noting this each each turn it is more lenient than intended. We experimented with less of this and were not happy with the results. We’ve been distracted by too many other issues and have not gotten back to this. We do hope to revisit it in the future. We don’t think most players would be happy with the results if we removed this.

Thanks for the answer sir.

I have to say that I do not like to play when the AI can basicly teleport. I want that the AI has to follow the same rules as me.
Is there any way how I can play versus an AI which can not teleport?

I understand that this teleport function is to improve the AI-players performance, but I do not like it. it breaks imersion for me.

It would be great if an game option could be implemented which switches AI teleport on or off.

I agree completely. I hate AI cheats. I understand why the devs do it, but it also breaks immersion for me.

Hi Joel,
any news about the progress in this case?

Would really like to return to the game, but this A.I. "function" still kills imersion for me.

I ve tested the new beta and its still the same.

No, we haven't made any changes in this area since our attempt back in the summer that we weren't happy with.
