ISSUE EXPERIENCED
My wife and I play AoE2 DE regularly (almost daily) as two players against two AI, one on HD and one CD. Recently the AI has become non-aggressive at sea. For example, in a game of Islands today they didn’t produce any ships (other than fishing boats and trade cogs), and never landed any troops on our islands. Attacking them on their islands, they had loads of troops and were very aggressive. We’ve noticed this on other maps, such as Archipelago, Rivers and Highland.
Has anything happened to the AI in recent patches? It’s definitely changed recently.
We’ve run up over 3000 hours playing like this, so we’re used to how the AI should behave.
