Can't join together against AI?

[The Mongol]

So I found the game at a local computer shop and my friend and I got it but we can't seem to fight against AI, I just can't plain select them.

Any help?

[AlfonsoVIII]

You mean you cannot select AI opponents?

[The Mongol]

Yes, my friend can join but I cannot add AI to the game...

I really hope I'm clueless and they didn't remove AI in MP.

whoa! u found Medieval II in north america, better check my local stores to see wats goin on..

[Aleric]

Well me and 2 other friends played the AI on MP and they never moved any of there units.

[The Mongol]

Aleric, how did you add them? I can't click on any slots that aren't occupied by a human player.

I set the game size to 8 but it just doesen't work.

In RTW there was a button near the top of screen to add an AI player online. It was next to the lock game button, look for anything like that.

If anyone can tell me how tp add ai armies i will be forever grateful, I reckon they have had to remove it as it would take up way to many resources, as the min spec is very low for a game of this magnitude, anyway lets hope i am wrong

and if they dont fix it i will

I know the add AI button youre talking about in Rome. But in M2TW there's no button to add AI. You can change their difficulty, but you cannot add them.

And as far as I can tell, there's no way to set up a custom siege either.

There is, the first few custom battle maps cannot have settlements added to them, the ones with the cross by them, but the rest can.

I must have a bugged up version because I went through nearly ever one, especially the ones with no cross next to them, and it wouldn't allow me to add a settlement.

Was this just dropped? I'd really like to play some LAN games with my friends that don't have Broadband, but havn't been able to add Computer players. Anyone have any news or ideas on this? Thanks!!!

Looking for the same thing. Here is a bump.

I also would like to be able to team up against AI over lan... sucks that it aint in atm.

It's a nice feature to train greens or testing with friends, but still not in on v1.1 that I noticed.

[Fedaiken]

I found a few threads over at the .com that basically said that this feature is not in the game and the developers confirmed that. Also the poster stated that he has not been able to get any sort of word on whether it would be added with the next patch. =( I really wanted to get into some 3 on 3 Human vs. AI on my LAN at home. Sorry for the bad news....

Well the ability to add AI into a custom battle used to be there I think. A lot of testing was done on this if I recall correctly. Mostly it worked fine. There were some bugs because of AI and sieges, rivers and so on but nothing that I felt justified yanking the ability to add AI. Historical battles was even set up so that any players slots that where not filled was automatically assigned an AI player. It was allot of fun to add AI players and do a bit of a co-op.

In the end making games is a still a business the passionate ones find it very hard to have to watch while stuff like this goes on. Sometimes the time and money required to iron out a few creases isn’t given.

People can complain all they want about the AI, but its fairly decent for such a complex game.

The modders should dig deep. The code is most likely still lying there. Whether it was “just for testing” purposes or not it was possible. Apparently if you join an extra player, with the difficulty to hard and have that player quit the AI will take over his spot and I do think I recall it doing exactly that.

Sometimes bugs are fixed with a scalpel sometimes they are ordered to used the axe.

Awww maaaan, I so want enemy AI in LAN!!!

We all do mate, but if you want a better chance of having your voice heard try the offical forums
