This DLC will surely be Legend. First - the Campaign barely staying together by osmium-heavy scripting. Now - absolutely braindead AI unable to do anything in skirmish. You cant play multiplayer with this DLC cause no one plays with All civs set. And you cant even play skirmish cause AI is worst grade imbecile barely able to get some little resources and hold the line for 10 minutes vs standart AI. Guys, are you serious? You ask 14.99$ for this?
Greek units are reskinned normal. Whats the problem to use normal AI?
It takes enormous amount of time and effort to win this with DLC allies. Worst AI ive ever seen in RTS
Do any of your posts not sound like a whiny preteen!?
Whiny preteen dont play hardcore mode, man. My posts sound like the voice of the common sense. Very underrated thing these days.
Is this actually a problem with the AI? I think the Battle for Greece civs are pretty underpowered compared with the normal civs, so Iād expect the AI to lose with them. These stats (especially the largest army stats) look consistent with that, and less consistent with the AI being useless with them.
Maybe Iām misunderstanding here, but playing with/against the standard difficulty AI definitely isnāt āhardcore modeā.
My two cents:
the new Civs do struggle when using the āCD AIā but they seem fine with the default DE AI
I only play vs Hard difficulty though so maybe Iām not seeing the higher level issues Franko is having
Standart means the common AI system. Difficulty is Extreme, buddy. Thousands kills and casualties with troops decline rate about 1 unit every 3 seconds does not ring any bell to you?
They just dont scale their eco like classic civs do. They dont know where to build and what to build. Looks like they simply dont have Expert AI. Only something like Normal. And the Normal AI is extremely dumb. It spawns lot of Leviathans in every ditch, but only if you make them survive about first 30 minutes. Some minimal help and thats all.
Not sure why you needed to write such a condescending response. I thought it was weird that standard difficulty AI would have such high kill counts and army numbers, but thatās what you said youād used.
That is weird, and youād probably be better off reporting it as a bug than just venting your frustration here.
Leviathans are expensive. How does it afford to build them if its economy is terrible?
Guess who sends them a lot of money. Just to make them survive. In addition to defensive lines. Lot of suicide squads against incoming siege engines. Und so weiter. Average match length is 4+ hours, if the map allows you to fight on few fronts with relatively safe eco.
Standard AI is used in standard game for standard civs. This DLC uses sort of its own version which does not recognize what is Extereme difficulty. I thought the moment about difficulty was obvious because of given stats.
I think my mission is done with this topic. I bought the DLC and got a lot of flaws both in campaign and in skirmish. Sorry, pal, but someone got the money. And that someone should fix the highlighted problems. And, imho, hire more skilled QA.
AIs are exploitable, play vs other people
I really donāt understand your attitude. If you think some aspect of the game isnāt working as itās supposed to, itās much more likely to get fixed if you report it as a bug.
EDIT: added āto get fixedā above so the sentence actually makes sense. Whoops.
In the last patch notes they promised a big balance update for Chronicles.
They did not mention improved Chronicles AI though.
Thatās weird, the AI āāin Chronicles works fine for meā¦
