Issue:
Hey,
currently I’m doing a challenge for myself and play against the AI. I started to only face the ‘Offensive’ and ‘Overwhelming’ one since they are the most aggressive AIs in my eyes.
Their difficulty level is on extreme or legendary, but sadly I must say that they lack intelligence when it comes to unit upgrades.
With that I mean that they barely go for line upgrades and almost never research armory upgrades, unless they reach Mythic Age. It can’t be that we both could be in Heroic Age and while I have heavy inf and heavy archers plus every bronze upgrade, these 2 AIs only have one medium line upgrade and not even a single copper upgrade. This example happens in like every game.
They research the Minor Gods techs for human and myth units, but when it comes to the basic upgrades they basically avoid them until Age4, which makes fights still winnable even outnumbered.
What makes this even more sad is that the ‘Overwhelming’ AI has the description; more likely to get upgrades that affect military units.
I wish for better AI behavior. I get that Ra for example wants to focus on Migdol units and therefore doesn’t rly do much for the barrack units in Age2/3, but he could at least go for some copper upgardes.
Compared to the original and extended AI the Retold one looks more flexible and smarter in the fights, like heroes focusing myth units and stuff, but outside of it less competent. Like enemy villager running into my base to get my back gold.
