Worst. AI Design. Ever.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

So frustrating when your cannons get stuck on something, rendering them useless. Can't even******* move it/fix it.

Just as freaking annoying as kneel fire, if you accidentally click on a wall, they'll be glued to the wall forever.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea force kneel fire to be stuck anyway?
It's fracking stupid since they MOVE FORWARD ANYWAY DURING KNEEL FIRE if you command them to attack a unit.

I have these problems too. Makes me go into rage for several hours which causes problems.

Many men worked hard to create this game for people like you, they deserve respect, not insults towards their work. There are modding tools avilible, make better ai if you can. Or perhaps you would like the game to cost twice more to cover the costs of aditional programers ?

Yes we know we can mod the game but we can't stop glitches like this from happening. CA can easily fix thi by working on it for a week a make a hot fix.

They do a good job at making games but It doesn't take much to fix this.

Or, we can be critical of terrible AI, in a FORUM.

I get where you're coming from, I really do.


BUT, just because they spent a lot of time on it, doesn't mean it's good.

[FilipVonZietek]

Seriously who cares about such minor bugs when they added revolutionary feautures like fps mode, torpedos and railwayes. I doubt you would resign from any of those for the sake of minor ai issues.

Ok, now I sort of just think you might be trolling.

Who cares about such minor things as ...AI? Er, what?

I just don't get this "they deserve respect" thing. They get all the respect they need when someone purchases one of their games and if you or anybody else has purchased one of their games there is every right to suggest improvement or just whine about the quality. It's like if you go to restaurant and order a well-done beef but you get a medium. Don't you think that instead just respecting the cooks hard work you should get new beef?

^This would actually be interesting. Like Black and White.

Exactly. Im all for respecting CA, and praising them and all, but....

You don't just respect people because they try.

I give CA praise when they deserve praise.

They DO NOT deserve praise for their AI.

First time Iv heard this bug/glitch reported.


Childish insults aside, how are they supposed to fix what they are unaware of?

Be patient and look to the future.

I'm sorry?
This was a bit of an issue in Napoleon as well. Especially the derping of the line infantry.

Sorry for being pessimistic, but CA does not have a great track record for actually fixing their games.

HAH

I can tell you weren't around for Empire.

You could place two units of dragoons next to the town square and take down an entire army, because the AI would just stand there getting shot at until they routed. (And then your cannons would fire directly into a 2 feet tall hill and explode.)

That's ludicrous on several levels.

Nope, I hated that time period and never bought until 2 years later. I then played with darth mod which actually made it kind of fun.

Skipped Napoleon because like I said before, I hate the time period. I have been just playing med 2 with mods all the way to Shogun 2.

Shogun 2, is an amazing game and will always be my favorite game for a while.

[Prnn]

You know what...
I think you might be kidding.

[Ferdiad]

I think you might be onto something.

Oh dear. Shall we take the thread off the rails to a new planet or shall we linger around here for a little while.
