[quote quoting="post"] Paranoid AI personality will overstate their military strength (i.e. lie to itself) [/quote] Shouldn't a paranoid leader overestimate the strength of their opponents? Overestimating their own strength is more narcissism than paranoia. Nice to see the AI getting some love!
Are we not getting any more AI improvements with our beta patches?
Have there been AI fixes / improvements since 0.8 that are not being listed? Because investing time into the game only to have the AI send lone heroes against my cities is less than appealing.
I realize the update is unreleased, but please give the AI some more love before releasing if possible. Specifically, prevent the AI from declaring wars it's unable to fight - or make sure that when the AI does declare war, that it sends more than individual heroes against enemy cities to get slaughtered.
Nice improvements. Are there any improvements to the strategic AI (other than spell of making) or tactical AI planned as well?
Now that the expansion has been announced and there has been some mention of tactical battles having a slighter bigger focus, please, please give the actual battlefields some love to make tactical battles more interesting. Deliberate elevation: make the elevation important (bonuses to range, critical, defense, etc) and make the elevation of tiles obvious at a glance. Ramps, cliff sides for where elevation changes, etc. Destructible elements (walls, do

How the hell does the AI (challenging) already have 3 heroes and a trained archer unit by the 10th turn? I thought the AI didn't receive bonuses until later difficulty levels.

Hey guys, I just checked and .99 is not out yet. Nope. Not at all. Don't bother checking.
Hey, my calendar says it's monday! I bet the calendars in the Stardock office say the same thing! Hint hint!

[quote who="Colbert30" reply="295" id="3250672"]I still haven't found a good use for those spells. What are you guys using them for?[/quote] Last play through I had to lower a path through mountains due to the AI setting up a city and boxing in my heroes between the mountains and the AI's territory.
[quote who="Lord Reliant" reply="1" id="3243962"]That's a high resolution! Does it happen when you notch down the resolution? Did this happen prior to 982? What video card are you using?[/quote] Can't say for sure if it was happening before 982, just that it was very noticeable when playing the most recent update. I've got a GTX 690.
I had the same thing happen to me. Everyone was happy with me then all of a sudden three nations all declared war on me all in the same turn (both Kingdom and Empire nations).
An AI nation moved an army to the point where 4 tiles met so that it was (at least graphically) partially within all 4 tiles.
Textures are flickering around their borders in the research window when playing the game at 2560 * 1440.
Two opposing armies moved to the same tile at the same time without any battle. An AI nation and some water shrills.
... I have never ever seen that. Thanks.
Thanks for the patch. Please if you've the time devs, check out the notes I took while playing: https://forums.elementalgame.com/432646
Just finished putting a number of hours into the recent beta. Below are the remaining issues with the game that require developer attention. Critical Issues AI is not interacting with players. <span style="font-size
Woot. Downloading the full file @ 1.9mb/s.
Improving the tactical AI so that it recognizes kiting (or specifically, the dangers of it) would go a long way to improving tactical combat without limiting the player to prevent kiting in the first place.
Oh, and the gambling assassin ability plays the incorrect animation.
