:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

Enemy archers/spears/almost anything do not fight back in AI games sometimes, completely ruins any fun by making things too easy.

:play_button: FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

:backhand_index_pointing_down: How often does the issue occur? CHOSE ONE; DELETE THE REST !

  • Less than 25% of the time / matches I play (RARELY)

:play_button: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:backhand_index_pointing_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptiv e!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  2. The units sometimes don’t fight back.

Spears should hit knights, xbows should shoot conqs

:play_button: IMAGE

Nah I am giving you a save game where it happens many times from my POV (red).

:play_button: GAME FILES (SAVE / RECORDING)

:backhand_index_pointing_down: Attach a SAVE GAME (.aoe2spgame) or GAME RECORDING (.aoe2record) of the match where you encountered the issue. Link it below if using an external file ser vice.

Maybe boost the upload size a little, considering this was a very short game and for whatever reason it’s still too large…

Yeah, something definitely seems amiss with AI lately. They went from quite strong and smart, to being pretty docile. Played a couple games recently where they don’t even try to atack until Imperial age

While this does happen, what I’m talking about specifically is where the AI is cancelling unit attacks or standing there with units that don’t even hit back. There was also a game where they just run their army into no-mans-land and just die or run vills. It seems like they keep adding more tasks for the AI to do, and it’s going so fast it interrupts itself (and lag the game as well when more AI are present) due to taking so many actions that cancel each other.

It’s ruining the game all around.
