Damn, your archers did a number on that guy.

Mitch, thanks for the mod. Excellent work.

From what i can tell the ai does not use special abilaties, like fire arrows.

I wonder if that means this ai is not complete, i hope so becouse it could prove to be a big advantage to human players.

edit - forgot to say thank you, silly me

Could this also work for the Sekikahara battle?

No, they used fire arrows against me. They only fired a couple volleys of them, though (might have had something to do with the hundreds of arrows that were the return fire right after that, though).

Can't wait to test this, Mitch, you should get a knighthood for this

**Marcus Aemilius Lepidus** · February 25, 2011, 01:31 PM

As i wrote before. Could you put a Unit of the Great Guard Cav in to the battle and let us see this amazing unit?

Thats a releave

I played the siege against the AI on normal and hard. On normal, the AI doesn't fight as well (obviously). I won against the normal AI, but lost against the hard one. Admittedly, I made some hasty and stupid decisions in combat, but this is probably one of the few times I've been defeated by the AI. I did notice that the AI was still vulnerable to the keep taking exploit, but I can live with pretending it isn't there.

Anyway, here are the finishing stats of the two games:

The Hard AI, as Wiffleby says, practically owned me but Normal AI is as pathetic as usual

**rageallday** · February 25, 2011, 01:39 PM

anyone finding this scenario more laggy than usual?

**Carnagejc** · February 25, 2011, 01:42 PM

Hows this for a Hero unit 1st volley?

**G3NUINE chief** · February 25, 2011, 01:45 PM

Playing AI test 2.
The AI seems leaps and bounds better than empire, i love how the enemy stayed together and attacked as a unit, but spread out too face my whole line.
And when i flanked with my cav they redirected troops to counter, it felt really nice to see that.

**Aklis** · February 25, 2011, 01:50 PM

Just played the siege. Though the AI was rather bad, there certainly was a working AI (they tried to flank me with cavalry from another gate while I was pouring my men through the front one, for example).

**Carnagejc** · February 25, 2011, 01:55 PM

Well now that we've verified there is actually an AI whats the next move for Mitch?

**Szu** · February 25, 2011, 01:58 PM

Just wow, just omg ...

I registered to post feedback and ofc

MANY MANY THANKS!!! Thank yoouuu Mitch

So yeah, AI seems very functional! I just completed the Siege Battle on Very hard, and he did pull out his Yari Ashigaru out to fend of my wall of archers, and once I scaled his walls, the guys on the second level used flaming arrows to scorch my forces who were already fighting for the gatehouse! AI sent his units to fend off my army as well as cavalry which tried to flank... AI is aaaaaliveeee

Can't wait for the custom battle thingy oh yeah, also something about the performance while I am at it... The night battles run just awesome on my PC spec, while daylight ones clog on the blob of units.

Keep it coming Mitch!! <3 <3

Custom battle tool. To let people create their own custom battles.

After that, the only thing left for me to do will be to go back to the campaign, and try and make them more fun.

I think im going to join the queue of people requesting to have your babies!

Lol, the AItest2 was crazy. They had little to no formation in mine unfortunately, in a big blob at two crossable sections of the river, which caused my game to lag a fair bit. The amount of bodies was extreme. Here are a couple of pictures:

As you can see, the AI attacked me from two places, which were pretty crazy:
