Support AI

**MemnonOfRhodes** · March 04, 2009, 08:52 AM

Just a quick question,Is the Support AI (AI u can enable to control your group of unit) the Same AI as the Opposing army?

**Selifator** · March 04, 2009, 09:18 AM

I think so, but only brain-wise. The stats that the AI factions have on H/H and VH/VH aren't transferred to your units if you put them under AI control. But yeah, the same retarded puppy will be controlling them.

If you value the lives of your soldiers and winning battles even slightly, I wouldn't even dream of letting the AI control your own men. You might as well just let them sit there and do nothing. Hell, that might even be more effective that letting the AI control them.

Or if you let your general be controlled by it, start the mourning before the battle, cuz he's going down.

yup

i never let AI control my reinforcements, but sometimes, if my army's too big, the damn thing just AI's it anyway, even though i unchecked the little box before the battle!

**MemnonOfRhodes** · March 04, 2009, 12:27 PM

how about with modded AI?,i don't know if you experienced Darth mod but maybe its possible with the new AI.
It thought it would be fun to be like a cavalry commander...If the AI just would attack normally

No AI will ever surpass the thinking, processing, and reacting skills of a human being, to be honest. Well, maybe...but not anytime soon, that's for sure.

well i tried and the AI defiantly sucked ***
Archers charging Cavalry
Generals attack Pike men head on
Units walking around cities letting towers shoot them in the back.
Sigh* there is only one way to cheer me up.....

God i love this game

Discussing AI is pointless, we all very well know how much it sucks. If you are reading and you don't, just play a custom battle where you have 1 spartan hoplites and the enemy have 10 archers and a general. Then you'll know what we're talking about.

**|Sith| Max** · March 08, 2009, 10:01 AM

Then dont use AI.

**aznflea** · March 09, 2009, 05:13 AM

you can hand over HAs to the ai. HAs are used quite decently by the ai unless there are alot of light lancers.

It seems that in my RTW(enhanced with Darthmod) the A.I always controls my reinforcements, no matter what. It's okay, it sort of adds some extra challenge but I wasn't exactly pleased when I was defending a city against a massively superior force and my reinforcements ran back and forth outside the city walls as I was being butchered and my valiant general had to defend the plaza all by himself and the A.I buddies entered combat the very minute the enemy had captured the plaza and the timer ran out, giving A.I victory.

But in field battles the (darthmod) A.I seems to handle stuff pretty well, to my amazement.

thats not retarded ai thats the ai keeping ur reinforcements out untill it wins.

Darth makes the AI way better indeed, it'll be great for the mods once he makes his Empire Darthmod, that'll silence a lot of the howling wolves. But darthmod is good, though I don't really like the factions, I prefer IBFD, RTR and RS for that. AI-wise, I think Darthmod stands at the top though.l
