AI and water maps

Age of Empires III: DE III - Report a Bug

:arrow_forward: GAME INFORMATION

  • BUILD #: 100.12.6159.0
  • PLATFORM: Steam
  • OS: Windows 10

:arrow_forward: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

On water maps, most of the time the AI will refuse to leave their islands and when they do, they only disembark one or two units to scout around; never armies. Plus, even if you raze all of their buildings and land units, they’ll refuse to surrender if they have even a single fishing ship somewhere, so you’ll have to scout all over the map to find that one remaining useless unit

:arrow_forward: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

  • 75% of the time / matches I play (MOST OF THE TIME)

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a skirmish game on a water map
  2. Raze an enemy island to the ground
  3. Watch as they still keep playing, hoping to beat you with their singular fishing boat.
  4. Watch as the rest of the AI stay on their islands, never attacking you

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

AI shouldn’t be afraid to use docks, but should also know that they can’t win with a fishing boat

:arrow_forward: ACTUAL RESULT

AI behave as they do in every other Age game, and are completely inept on water maps
