ISSUE EXPERIENCED
DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
The AI in the Return of Rome DLC seems to be bugged as of the latest build. I played a few days ago and they were playing fine. However today I noticed that I can even beat 1v7 on extreme as they just don’t seem to do much. They have idle villagers all the time, and eventually just have 20 standing in the same place doing nothing. Nor do they create military units. I’m not using any mods.

- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptiv e!
Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:
-
Open Age of Empires and Select Return of Rome DLC. Click Single Player→Skirmish
-
Settings: Random Map/Highland/Large 8 players/Extreme/Standard/500/Fast/All Visible/Standard/Standard/None/Conquest
-
Start game and you’ll see that some villagers are doing stuff while some are idle, and eventually they just build up a bunch of idle villagers standing next to their town center.
EXPECTED RESULT
What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
The AI would play well, not have a bunch of idle villagers and would create a military.
