Cheating AI

[Vlaanderen Vrij]

Will the AI cheat on hard and very hard as it did in all other TW games? Or will AI just be better?

[Clock]

1) Yes.
2) Hopefully.

[Jester]

it will cheat like any other AI in any other strategy game

[Sowilo]

Since no one knows the answer to your question and CA hasnt said Did you expect a answer?.........

[osros]

CA said many times already, On Normal there is no AI buffs anything over that the AI gets some sort of Buffs, Whether you think that's cheating is up to you.

This. Simply because the AI cannot outthink a human player. It needs help.

Yeah. I just hope they limit it to money cheats this time. Playing Uesugi, it was a real immersion killer to see the Honma with stacks of experienced units they couldn't even recruit.

Yeah. The AI received money and recruitment bonuses in older games.

No simply because they can't create different ai for each difficulty.
So they just create an ai that can give an average player a fun gameplay and for hardcore fans they just buff some stats on higher difficulty.
And hear me...its the right choice they need to please the average player!!

Of course i actually want the ai to be intelligent and don't make stupid choice in a battle

Unless you're using a quantum computer the AI isn't going to outthink you.

Don't know, perhaps they are willing to give an answer because they want to ... I just played a very hard campaign in shogun 2 fots and got frustrated again by the fact that hard is way to easy and very hard way to hard (well for me at last). Once again I saw the AI spamming huge armies where I could only send 1 army in the field. In the 2nd consecutive battle it got completely annihilated and I quickly lost 2 regions (half my empire). I think I was only 25 turns in the game ... So it would be nice to see a good AI, not the ZERG AI we are used too.

I think we will all be pleasantly surprised this time around. I think it will be an improvement CA certainly knows all the AI short commings on previous games.

[Sowilo]

I think the AI will be similar to Shogun 2 did you play that game?

[Vlaanderen Vrij]

Yes, I played it. I could only play on VH as Shimazu though. Very close to all the trade posts. Only way I could get my economy roaring. As Date I managed to pull it of until Realm Divide. Then my 4 armies got butchered by the ZERG AI. Anyways, I know it is not impossible to defeat AI on VH and LEG, but the game just is not fun anymore when it turns into a massive army spam fest. Perhaps this will be limited in TW:R2 due to the limited army size ... However, I would not be surprised if the AI will have a far higher limit on VH or LEGENDARY.

i hope they don't use cheats on the AI, if they improved it as well as they said they shouldn't need to use cheats or at least less cheats than other games

Say what ever youy want, an IA will never play as good as the human player. So, yes, indeed, the IA will cheat, over a certain level. And hopefully!

The only things i don't want to see is an "All IA faction turn to war with me" and "all factions rushing my lands".
That's the only point. Hard level or not, you must be able to form the same alliances than in a mediem level. Because it's like the game should be. A strategical game.

***double post***

[Sun Jetzu]

They could literally fix the AI by programing the art of war into its code. How to do this is beyond me though lo

[Captain W. Handberg]

Whats the difference between the difficulties anyway.

[Arokel]

AI gets buffs to a lot of stuff on higher difficulties. If I remember correctly it includes money, recruitment time, moral, and some others.
