AI vs AI Custom Battle

[Kapt Torbjorn]

Is it possible to start up a custom battle and make it so that there is just an AI vs AI, and no human player?

[A Demented Goldfish]

i have no idea..... but why would you want to do this anyway

[Kapt Torbjorn]

Just testing stuff.

You can get the setup to be Cpu player vs Cpu player, but when you click to start it says "Please select a faction".

To see how dumb the ai can be?

For the sake of it?

No there's a purpose; I already know how dumb the AI is. I just want a completely level playing field.

You can "simulate" it.
Just start a "normal" battle, then give control of your units to the AI at the start.

How do you do that?

There should an icon in the right, with all the other unit options.

[A Demented Goldfish]

group all ur troops and press the button that says give controll of the group to Ai or something like that

It's disabled in custom battles.

I might have to poke around in the files I guess.

One thing you could try is build the two AI armies, whatever they may be, and join as one of the AI armies' ally. Then, just choose one unit, like horse archers or something, and start them off in the very corner of the map. Leave them like that and let the AIs battle it out.

Yea, I've just been taking a unit of peasants and running them into the entire enemy army and forcing them to rout, but it screws up the battle setup at the beginning (since your 1 unit of peasants gets 1/4th of the battleground to deploy in).

But, it seems this is the best way to go.

Remember to set the camera as unrestricted first!

[nhinhonhinho]

Simply choose only one unit and join one side.Deploy them near your ally army.I always use this way.

After the battle just save it in battle replay and you can watch everything you want

[King Gambrinus]

Oh and I think you can tell a unit to withdraw which is basiccally routing. So just put 'em in the corner and press the withdraw button. No problems then...

[roam]

I tried something like that for the sake of it....the ai is quite ridiculous! I thought the ai was dumb...now i think it is very, very stupid!

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

lulz, What, did the enemy AI turn its entire army towards your one unit at the beginning of the match or something?

[roam]

No. It made the following stupid manouvres:

-Egypt decided to attack the Numidian cav. Good move, accept the ai decided to stop the chariots in the middle of nowhere and let them get destroyed
-Numidia decided to suicide it merc eles into the pharoahs guard
-Egypt decided that it wanted to let its desert cav chase after numidian cav, then stop and let the numidians destroy the desert cav 1by1
-Egypt decided to not use the pharoahs at all for the first 5mins of conflict and when they do they use them to rain fire on the eles who are already running amok
-My unit of peasants decides that to leave the battlefield(told them to withdraw) it must run to the other side of the battlefield through the main battle-I mean wtf?
-The pharoahs guard decide to go chasing, in phalanx, after archers
-he numidian cav then decide to commit suicide and charge straight into the front of the advancing phalanx
-At this point the ai tells the guard to turn around-whilst they are still fighting the remnants of the numidian cav.

After this i left...but it was ridiculous

Edit: Oh yeah numidia decided to send 2 units of long shield cav after my routing peasants
