SWR Productions Forum _ Rise of the Reds _ Can the so-called "Easy" AI be chilled out?

Posted by: Celtic Warrior 25 Dec 2018, 17:09

By around a million times?

I was just building myself up (yes, defenses included) and I got obliterated by the GLA. Just constant and relentless attacks with tanks and angry mobs, I couldn't build faster than I was being destroyed, it was infuriating.

Hey buddy, join the discord group...There's an AI testing group with newly updated AI, maybe that can help.
(Its made by the main AI developer Mizo and almost weekly updates)

Ditto on this. Easy AI needs to chill out. They don't really feel any different from Medium AI.

In fact I was running a match between me (ECA) and an Ally Medium USA vs an Easy Russia.
I was just puttering along building defenses because I like to turtle and play around. The Easy AI was at a stalemate with the Medium AI while still being a complete thorn in my side.

Take me out of the equation, and any 1v1 with an Easy vs Medium should be no contest, Medium should win everytime. Yet, even with me harassing him with basically only General Abilities, the stalemate between the 2 AIs wouldn't break. This went on for about an hour and then my game crashed lol.

This is from my point of view, but sometimes when I get bored I play a "challenge" vs a medium AI on 10k.

It cheats like no tomorrow and continously throws units at me but hell it feels good when I finally figure out a way to beat it. It takes me a number of attempts, on some maps it's harder than on others, depending on how much cash is available and how many sides need defending.

I'm an old player with experience, but what I want to point out is that it's worth to keep on trying, even if your first few attempts fail and you get wrecked. Change your build order or the units you use, make sure to get enough cash and get secondary eco in time.

I do agree however that the current AI is brutal and unforgiving vs casual players.

Actually, I really like the new AI. It might really make most PvE players switch to PvP.
The AI is actually intelligent enough to win.
I still wouldn't dare going against Hard AI, because Medium already gives me a lot of trouble, but in time, I might and who knows. I might even try my luck in PvP after that.
The only flaw I was able to find is that the AI sometimes keeps a lot of it's units in the base, causing those irritating slowdowns.
