To make things short: If u want a really solid AI play Europa Universalis. If you want good graphics play Total War. Period.

Been doing it for over a decade. I still dream of a marvelous creature spawned from a union between them.

Solid AI in EU ?

We obviously didn't play to the same EU...

The game rules allow for powerfull AI led countries, but the AI ? I don't think so...

Thanks for a good read
Love reading all the professional analyzing done by the TWC whine corps.
I wonder how do they get so much info from a translated German text?

I wanna be a psychic too when I grow up.

Well most people want to know what they're buying. If they would just give us a decent demo most people would be relieved and could make their own impression. But since we get no other footage people try to work with this. Of course the magazine is unreliable, but some folks don't want to spend 50 bucks on a game with completely crappy AI. CA claimed before every new Total War release the AI would be overhauled/improved, and they never really lived up to their promises. Now it's the same talk all over again, and if a magazine raises concerns about this, it's no wonder people get nervous.

would be fantastic if this community would start shaming behavior from posters like this fellow. just start rubbing it in their faces until they learn. bad dog.

If the AI is bad, there is a simple fix: be worse than the AI. It comes naturally to me, so I'm not worried.

But seriously, do we really think the AI will be any worse than it has been in the past? I see a lot of overreaction here.

Well I decided to unsubscribe. This battle leads to nothing new and arguments are repeated like a broken LP thanks mirelicus.

Have fun. See you around in another thread.
I wonder what the optimistic party will post if some statements will be repeated after game release by the party of the concerned.

Mirelicus, Many people really care about this game and dont want to see it rushed by a deadline. The AI is pretty important for TW veterans who feel they have not been given a real challenge yet to this day. And yes you can have an opinion if you diddnt play the game. More people have posted on this game then Shogun 2 which came out 2 years ago.

This is so true.

Nice to see people have moved on from earlier discussions and are now accepting that people have different opinions and wishes for this game.

Oh wait.

[Sir Sesshaku]

I just beg for the day when CA actually decides to increase the community role during the development process. You know, actually "use us" in order to decide what needs to go, what needs to be added, how much historical accuracy we want, do we want more graphics or the same graphics but an increase on the number of troops and the size of maps?.

[Toho]

I always had the bad feeling that the AI will be retarded with the naval invasion but here we go... btw, even in shogun 2 the cavalry was not THAT retarded.
one month from release and they are going to fix all this? yea no way, hopefully patches would fix things the last thing we need is the horrible... HORRIBLE empire AI.

[Semper_Fidelis]

Christ, you know what I just thought of? This new line of sight is going to screw up the AI even more than before. I hope they don't send any random units off to some corner looking for you even when you are clearly at the front gates. Also there might be a small chance that this turns into a hide a go seek if it's a small time battle. I don't know how the system works but I have my doubts after this article.

The Ai will probably not be affected by the new line of sight, to give it an advantage over the player

If it's so, then it's a broken feature, that would bring a huge amount of frustration for the human player. I would want an option to turn it off if it would be so.

If so than it's one of those cheap features that give the AI a greasy advantage. Like in some first person shooters the AI can see you from miles away when even a hawk wouldn't be able to. Why have it in if the AI doesn't use it? I want a genuine experience without the AI getting messed up like tangled spaghetti.
