Matrix Games Forums

This was advertised as having an AI so it can be played as Single Player. That is as misleading as it gets! Most of the Campaign scenarios are 2 Player games only! I would have never purchased this if that was made clear. It wasn't made clear! If anything Matrix was intentionally misleading about that! I"LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GAME FROM MATRIX, UNLESS I CAN HAVE MY MONEY BACK!

I guess this answers the question about why it's not on Steam.

Cant play it on my 4k monitor, I would want a refund too.

Crap just bought it and the book for $65.00. USA - This better not be another Flames of War deal.(spent $200 on that mess)
Guess I better look into this when get a chance as only play singer player.

I was under the same impression, especially since the FAQs specifically mention the AI and the scenario list says nothing about any of them being 2-player only.

Can someone post an accurate list of the scenarios that actually have an AI opponent?

Glad I saw this before I hit "Buy."

Yeah I'm not "feeling" the game for a few reason. Heck I can't even right click... on Steam I would have requested a refund I think by now.

That's why Steam is so worthwhile over buying from Slitherine direct. They don't offer the same level of support despite the fact that they make more for a direct sale versus Steam. They are also against demo's.

There is AI for all scenarios, but not all has a "Programmed opponent" that means a script for the AI, so that's why not all scenarios are meant to be played in SP mode.
I guess the fault on part of Matrix and de Dev team was to assume that everyone was familiar with TOAW III, which is the same regarding to SP mode.

I don't have the new game yet, but TOAw III is a great game and this is much improved regarding the interface among newer features such as the BTS and naval warfare, etc-
So, perhaps a little patience regarding potential bugs and to understand the game could result in a highly rewarding gaming experience. So if I were you, I won't give up on IV just yet, but I'm not you [:)]

1. This game has an AI. Meyer1 is very right, you can play every scenario vs AI. But as with most other things, get a real opponent made of felsh and bones and your experience will be much more rewarding. This dry humping vs an AI is just not the real McCoy, believe me.

2. 4k monitor? I had some who played it beyond 2k, I'm sure it can run on 4k too so maybe just a matter of settings. Open a thread in the tech Support section

3. Not sure what the problem with the right click is, clicks fine for me. If your after the menu you must click and hold right mouse, and this longer than the set delay for the menu to popup. But as a few others have that problem too you should post your stuff here:

PS And it is not not on steam, it is just not yet on steam.

This Jerkwad BigJerk66 is full of Crapola. Most Scenarios are 2 Player Only! His idea of an AI is Dry Humping His Blow Up Doll. Most Players understand an AI, is Single Player against a Computer Opponent. BigJerk66 can be considered an NI. 'No Intelligence'.

Please ignore the trolls.

You are just talking shit, bull shit of grade a quality but still just shit.
I hope god refunds mankind for having to bear your miserable existence.

Most? Did you count them? Maybe you could help, people are wanting that information.

[:)]lOOK IN THE OPTIONS. It gives you thousands of of different ways to play either the computer or axis or allies. ETC

So is there an AI or not can every scenario be played in single player against an AI? Almost bought this then saw this mention of no ai or only on some maps. I too will not buy if there's not an ai for every scenario as I have no interest in online play. This thread is doing little to answer the question directly

Edit: just saw Deano's post above seems to say every map can be played fro either side or against the computer

Again, there is AI for every map. But not a "Programmed Opponent" or a script for the AI, so designers that did not do that won't recommend you to play that scenario against the AI, and label that scenario as "PBEM only". Other scenarios have only one side PO, and so recommended to be play as the other side.

ok 2k is like 1080p of course it's playable in 2k. I agree entirely with the troll, Mr CompanyMan, you are full of it. I went to the forum and fiddled with the .ini and I couldn't find an option to see thing with clarity. I would like a refund on the base that an unscalable windows game in 2017 is unacceptable. If you, BigDuke66, want to minimize our problems, then you are not welcome in this discussion.

Sorry for my bad english.

Every scenario can be played against the AI. Some are more of a challenge if played as side A or B. That's all been the case in wargames. Just because its best as human vs human doesn't mean it can't be enjoyed single player.

got it thanks

Just look through the scenarios. Most of them will say whether or not they have a PO (Programmed Opponent). That would make it a single player scenario. The majority of the scenarios are made to be played single player for one side or the other and sometimes both sides. It's not really that hard to find them if you bother to try.
