Oh yeah I just saw the AI Tendency To Build Malls option. A bit weird that it is set to Very High by default. Should be Moderate IMHO.

It is something that they do yes, generally it can be partly controlled by setting AI Tendency to build Malls to a lower or higher level.

In general they will tend to build malls in empty areas outside the city core because:

- Malls are really big and it can be difficult to find enough space in the city core to build one
- The land is cheaper outside the core
- Malls can have very high traffic even when out in a remote location
- Also stuff tends to develop around a mall over time, increasing the traffic and land value

Is this behaviour intended? Just starting a new game with the new DLC and I find that a bit strange :)
