Im surprised at the AI.....

[Favre]

Its even worse then in RTW and Barbarian Invasion!!!


I dont know if anyone else feels my same opinion, but the Enemy have no idea what to do about my phalanxes. It's like CA programmed Enemy troops NOT to run into phalanxes anymore, but never told the AI what to do instead of charging right on. Almost all the time the AI will charge me but stop just short of my pikes. Then twiddle its thumbs doing menial things like straightening its line and performing cavalary maneuavers which are easily beatable.

Does anyone else get the notion that CA forgot to tell the AI what to do about Phalanxes?



The campaign map AI seems possibly somewhat improved though

[Shaggy1973]

It didnt change the AI, its a RTW mini-mod.

[Favre]

I swear the ai doesnt know how to handle a phalanxanymore

It never did, but this is just a mini mod by CA,, they didnt change the hardcode, so it must just be your imagination.

[Byron Eastridge]

They did some work on the historic battles to get the AI to act a certain way, but that has nothing to do with the campaign AI

Well HB Ai can be scripted so the AI fights better

[Byron Eastridge]

yup, read some of the comments they left in

[Favre]

Well Ia ctually see an improvement in their Horse maneuvering, but It still seems to me like they told the AI not to run into phalanxes, but didnt tell the ai what to do in that sitiation

[Sitarus Originalus PM-30+]

i doubt they (CA) made such a mistake....

[Favre]

Well in almost all my battles the AI Phalanxes or infantry will advance to within 5 yards of my men and stop. Then they will jsut ait there and not mopve until i advance on them. :/

[Kaweh]

Well, maybe this can be changed in "descr_formations_ai"? Since this problem was there in vanilla RTW...

K.K

[Zarax]

Well, the code has been changed, we just do not know if they touched the AI or not...

[Favre]

Anyone who has ATW, have you guys noticed any of this? :O


EDIT: By the way, the Historical battle AI is fantastic.

[Shaggy1973]

well they said they didnt change the ai or anything, its just a minimod not a patch

[Zarax]

Do you have a source Shaggy?

[Shaggy1973]

CA. Read somewhere on their announcement bumf.

If they had made improvements to the AI, dont you think they would release it in a patch. Think it through.

[Zarax]

Well, maybe they will release a patch since alex is 1.9...

[Sirius 21]

I think they slightly improved AI. And I suppose they're going to release a stand-alone patch. How can we explain version 1.9 for Alexander?
