Love the idea of this game, but I was wondering if it would be possible for AI to be added that could potentially populate towns and village maybe run small stores of their own. I would like to play with a smaller group of friends and it’d be cool if we could each slowly build up our own thriving communities. That way the game could still have the laws and government but be able to function efficiently even with a small number of players.

At least from our side there is no plans for that as that would be pretty opposite of our goals in regards to everything in Eco being done by real players and the interaction coming from that.
