| Too much difference between standard and moderate difficulty? Posted: 06 Oct 2019 08:39 AM PDT Standard AI is hilariously bad, I can't even imagine what easiest is. Standard AI can't even get up to castle age while I can get to imperial by 1 hour. Some of the players (I like to play 2 v 3) don't even have basic military buildings let alone stage an army. At one point I was like post imperial and two of the players were still at feudal without any military buildings. Just a peaceful village with farmers and lumberjacks and god knows why but a blacksmith. On the other hand, moderate AI is way more competent getting to unbelievably fast castle ages and rushing with decent armies. It is still weak to defending castles at which it throws a flood of units like a madman but it's night and day compared to standard AI [link] [comments] | ||

| Where can I find this michi map in this youtube video? Posted: 06 Oct 2019 04:39 AM PDT I randomly watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeJ7z9_19DM And I was kinda interested to play this map with the high amount of resources against 7 hardest AI, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know? [link] [comments] | ||
| Just played against moderate AI for the first time. Posted: 05 Oct 2019 02:39 PM PDT By god was that a horrible mistake. Not only that, but I decided, "Fuck it, I'll put it on TURBO RANDOM, too! No way this'll backfire on me!" What proceeded was a 4-hour long trash war between the Teutons and Saracens. How the hell did this happen? Well, it's simple. So I'm not a fantastic player. Hell, I'd call myself below average, but I still stomp the standard AI easily. I wanted a bit of a challenge and decided to go with a 1v1 giant Highland match with a random civ, playing as Teutons. Wanted to see how they played. My usual strategy with the AI is to just turtle until I get all of techs and resources in order, then amass the biggest and baddest army I can possibly assemble to crush the opponent. This probably would have worked, under better circumstances. Unfortunately, I took things a little too slow and the AI snowballed before I could thanks to the fact that they got 3 of the relics and somehow got more stone than I had available. They managed to build up a MASSIVE fortress, and all I could really do in response was wall up the shallows in the center and put up a few castles with bombard towers to defend. Also built three barracks around the area just to have a steady defense going. By the time I got to the point where all the stone and gold on my side was mined, they had started sending hordes of trebuchets, cannons, and hussars at me with unrelenting force. Switching between the main base and the fortification frequently meant I lost a lot of knights to the cannons, but there was hardly anything I could do about it. Eventually, I figured, "Why the hell am I spending all my gold trying to counter when I can just make them waste THEIR gold trying to attack me?" So that's what I did. I set up the three barracks to constantly generate dozens of halberdiers, killed off a quarter of my villagers to make even more halberdiers, and let them all run rampant in the shallows, which for the past hour had turned into a constant hellscape of death and war. By the time the AI started running low on gold, they had thankfully decided that just spamming hundreds of hussars was the best tactic against me. Halberdiers counter cavalry. Match made in heaven, right? Well, no. You see, I may have been able to supply a constant 70 halbs to defend with, but they were sending in not just hussars, but MONKS, too. They had like 4 monasteries set up in their fortress. This led to a situation where we were both locked in a stalemate and completely unable to attack each other. It was just a fire hose of trash being blasted by both sides with no conceivable end. No onagers could make it through, trebuchets were too slow, ballista are useless against hussars. What am I to do? Well, after 4 hours, I figured it out. I had initially run out of gold, and my only real option was to go after the only 2 relics left on the map, then sell most of that 30K food I had stocked up for gold and then stone. I built two more castles, then figured out something amazing: The AI cannot handle rams to save its life. Now that it was just using trash, monks, and the occasional trebuchet, the capped ram's 200 HP laughed in the face of their entire army. So what did I do? RAM SPAM. I made 40 of the fuckers, filled the rest of the pop limit up with halberdiers, and then just charged forward. They had foolishly chopped down a forest that was protecting a castle of theirs, leaving a gaping hole in their defenses. I sent my 40 rams into that hole and smashed the entire south end of their city while the halberdiers distracted their army. I repeated this process until their entire city was in ruins, chased down the remaining 30 monks smashed the 4 monasteries they tried to erect, and then they gave up. Five hours. This was the longest match I have ever played in this game. Granted, I just got into it last month, but it was still pretty absurd. Lesson learned: Never underestimate the AI. Here's the timeline and score. For reference, we both entered imperial age around 40-50 minutes in. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try that again. [link] [comments] | ||

Can anyone recognize it? https://www.voobly.com/files/gamemod/47622705/1.1.png I've been looking for castles for my Mod and this one seems interesting for me, but I don't know who the author is!

| Which map would be the most fair for an AI tournament? Posted: 05 Oct 2019 11:43 AM PDT So like I like tournaments and wanted to do a tournament with just AI, which map would be the most fair for all civilizations? I know plenty of AI tournaments have already been made [link] [comments] | ||
| Why is there such a skill gap between standard AI and moderate AI Posted: 05 Oct 2019 08:59 AM PDT I always used to play against standard and while fun it was extremely easy, i have never had the land attack me and when i raid them they still have nearly all their resources. So i switched to moderate AI and it was SOOO much harder, they rushed me befor the 15 minute mark and unless i wall myself of in dark forest i simply dont stand a chance with the stratagies i always used on standard. Why is there such a gap? Playing 1v2 also isnt a great option because they still hardly ever do a full scale attack. [link] [comments] | ||
