EvilMario

1.0.. Why is there a new version out?

So I leveled up a fortress city to lvl 3. I get a choice between 3 things. I choose the one that ADDS a catapult. And after a few turns sure enough I'm attacked (at war with all 3 AI's after destroying 1 AI all alone..) and to my surprise all I've got is ONE catapulte! This is BS.. I attacked an AI's city LV. 3 and they had lots of archers a guardian statue and a d

If not, who did? i changed iwas the topic is interesting but e title generic. So I changed it to match the topic. I can change it to something else if you'd like as long as its specific.[/quote] hahaha dude...

I see magic everywhere IRL..doesnt mean I want to off myslef. I didnt say its offensive..I said -i- cant use it. It is salted with "kosher salt" that makes everything kosher, so it's okay. Kosher salt can be even bought in shops IRL, see for yourself: [/

Now there is no valid reason, we have advanced medical practices and an understanding as to why it makes us sick. Nagging because of a word, which is just data in lines of code, is ridiculous. I bet there is no one else, or possibly maybe a handful at best, w

[quote who="boredpeon" reply="127" id="3264437"] Quoting EvilMario, reply 123Your point is invalid since if you look at the description of challenging you will see it says the AI doesn't cheat. So Tuidjy has done all this work and research and it is all invalid because you think the AI does not cheat? Here is a reminder on the definition of the word cheat. cheat <br

[quote who="boredpeon" reply="118" id="3263573"] Really nice after action review write up Tuidjy. From the dozens of games I have played it looks like you had an above average game. The map was really nice to you for city placement spots. The AI were actually spread out fairly decent. None of your AI died off on like turn six. All the AI were connected vis land, no overseas AI players. I learned a few builds back during beta that the higher difficulty settings got a lot harder

Anyone have some ideas for what a headband can do for mages? I don't think the crown is the problem, its still a decent pick, and can easily hold 4-5 free enchantments on one unit (giving 4-5 free mana per turn, compared to "Attunement's" 1. While now not an "Auto-Pick", its now a choice of if you want a pow

[quote who="Bellack" reply="96" id="3262681"] Quoting Frogboy, reply 30Without responding to the particulars...why would new players be increasing the difficulty to challenging? The game defaults to Easy. There's two levels below easy. And above challenging, all bets are off. If I could play scary sounds to distract you to help the AI, I would. I'll tell you why. Many gamers like me perfer to play the game on the challang

[quote who="BlackRainZ" reply="68" id="3262293"] Quoting Tuidjy, reply 63 Quoting BlackRainZ, reply 60Monsters are not that difficult to kill. That is just ridiculous. Especially on lower levels. I understand newer players may not realize it at first, but it becomes rather apparent. Umberdroths, etc. are easy enough with a few decent units and a few decent heroes. They shouldn't pose that much of a problem. I think the problem may be more exposed on smaller maps though. I guess

Well this isn't so important but. If you are in a tactical battle and you get frustrated (I did :) ) and you happen to press the resolve battle button multiple times (like I did because I got frustrated :) ). If you receive an item from the battle you will get it the same amount of times you clicked the resolve battle button :)

[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="55" id="3262105"] The problem is, there is no way the AI could have possibly had to deal with Air Elementals, Umberdroths and Silt Skaths the way I've had. But I will wait to discuss this until I post the logs. [/quote] This is my point.. II bet if you reseed or whatever it's called. You will get to a map where the AI builds a city right next to a monster and then that is it. The monster will be its guardian ange

There is a button in the tactical battle on the top right (I think it looks like a play button) Allows you to auto play the tactical battle. You can press it again to stop it.

I really am so sic n tired of complainers and whiners and boo hoo-ers complaining about the "difficulty" of the AI. L2P and it will be a better game.

It takes several trips before the caravan dies. It is generally able to move through them. In the context of the OP, I see no conclusive proof of your conclusion. I think the problem here is that people just assume that there is some code making this happen. We don't n

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="21" id="3260679"]BTW, I would be delighted to create an AI Spoilers thread or something where we can discuss some of the indepth stuff. But I also don't want to ruin the game for everyone else since it takes some of the magic out.[/quote] I say do it.. If some one dosn't care about ruining the magic they won't look. I for one do care but I'm sure there are others that don't and can really benefit from it :)

[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="1" id="3260641"]Fanbois will surely accuse of whining, but I feel your pain. Diplomatic AI is difficult to program, so diplomacy more or less sucks in all strategy games I have encountered, behaving like a bunch of demented psychopath without long-term memory or ability to recognize common cause. The problem is that while it's easy to program a reactive AI that spots tactical blunders in chess, shoots enemies in sight or attacks nearby

That is what you have outposts for (and the resources ) It used to be that outposts developed resources at their own. My first posted play-through had one city (large map/ridiculious difficulty) and it was over 1200 population and 200 production by turn 100. This strategy no longer really works, because now you have to use your city's qu
