Nice game but worthless AI

[koontz]

Played the first map as both sides won after 5min in both game
and the total loss for me was 1 injured enemy.

The shape of the Ai is for nostalgic resons? [;)]

Anyhow looking forward to this in MP.

The AI in any game will rarely challenge an experienced player, but with that said I think one battle is a bit early to call it "worthless". It's as good or better than the original AI IMHO, which was our benchmark.

I could never beat it.

mmm...I lost 4 tanks and could only share the sector after playing it the first time! [&:]

the first map of the GC  - sure is difficult for me to believe you won both sides in 5 minutes.

What settings did you use?

[koontz]

Line on both and end battle when morale gets to low.

Why should I lie?

[Andrew Williams]

you could be mistaken...

The AI, in my experience,  won't even get the shermans moving on Walkensward in 5min... let alone be in a postion to be decimated

[koontz]

Well re run the first map of the GC and the AI is beaten b4 5min this time.

the deployment is horrific imo, but im sure im gonna love it
as soon ive find an human opponent.

This is a kinda random but sorta related question:

For example, if I want to play as the Allies on Elite, should I set the German difficulty to Elite also or to Recruit (so they get better troops)? Or does it only matter what the difficulty is set to on the side Im playing as? Thanks.

[Andrew Williams]

The slider refers to the commanders ability.

if you consider yourself a good player... move your slider to elite... this will make it harder for you.


If you want the AI/opponent to have more advantage move his slider to recruit


The hardest game is you on elite and opponent on recruit... and visa versa

it's sort of counter intuitive

[RD Oddball]

The difficulty settings effect both sides. If you're looking for the maximum challenge the game can give you put the AI on recruit so it gets max number and types of units it can and put yourself on elite so you get limited troops and types. Yes it will effect the side you're playing as.

Thanks guys!
