It looks like this may have dropped off the list as i cant find much discussion on this, but will there be any improvement to the Vanilla A.I? ive played a few games now and even on the hardest difficulty playing a skirmish the A.I does little to nothing. They pose no challenge. i remember the original AOE 3 having difficult A.I
ive tried using a couple mods that supposedly make the A.I tougher but it doesnt improve on much, are the devs for AOE3 DE looking into some improvements for the base A.I to make skirmishes more challenging?. am i missing a good mod out there that will make the A.I more challenging?
It is possible you’ve improved since AoE3. My personal move if I want a challenge vs AI is keeping increasing the number of them. A 1v3 on the highest setting is quite difficult, and if that’s not enough keep going. That’ll work until you are beating 1v7s. If that still isn’t enough, you can give them a handicap (makes them gather resources faster and I think get more resources from crates).
Hope this helps

I’m curious, which ones?
Easiest thing to do is increase the difficulty, and then if you can’t, increase the handicap, and if you can’t, increase the number of opponents.
ive used the Better AI mod and tried the enhanced AI mod that i found, cannot remember the creators of each. found the Better AI mod works a little but it seems to only affect one AI player not the entire lot

Check assertive AI ! It’s able to merge islands and build forward bases !
Also featured in mods like Age of Pirates !

Although that’s technically possible it requires a ton of work to actively implement. What’s more likely is that the other AI’s were doing different playstyles or got hampered by some other serious of misfortunes.
@DrMaxy4142 Some parts are even features in Wars of Liberty!
