Excited for this game but..

[theonerayman]

I've been following this game for a bit and honestly as a long time RTS fan (we used to have Starcraft lan parties in high school..pre-broodwars) this game seems to be a dream come true. Multiple planet battlefields, huge planetary sized armies. Just amazing, that being said my friends and I are holding off on buying until the AI is fixed. I've done a ton of reading on this forum and see that the AI at this point is just an APM monster. For some of my friends and I this isn't a big deal, but for others it's a deal breaker. So just wanted to let the devs know that there are at least 10 people (I am sure that there is way way more but I can only speak for these 10) that are waiting to pick the game up until the AI is square. We are all willing to deal with the other gamma level build issues but AI is our main issue. Other than that keep working. We are all super excited to be able to pick this up!

The AI is great after you figure out your build order, but if you dont look at youtube videos ahead of time it can be very very hard. Easy ai is well easy if you put turrets up and expand. Expanding is the biggest thing, if you dont do that the ai will win.

Well I have no issues with the Easy AI, its a bit of a challenge but not that much. Still gotta try harder AI though

Just gotta be careful so it doesn't shoot down your stuff wiith artillery and such

I wouldn't say APM Monster.

The AI is actually extremely easy to beat right now. Even the hard AI is easy to beat.

They're working on the AI, and 10 people wanting to buy the game won't speed up the process. There's many things to be added to PA. And the AI is one of them.

I don't expect nor never do expect my small group of friends to be some beacon that pushes the AI but I did feel like that it would be worth the two minutes it too to log in, type up and post this in the chance the devs see it.

Also, there are more than a few people talking about the AI, and while everyone has an opinion I'm willing to take the majority opinion that the AI needs to be worked on before I'm willing to drop the money and my small group all feel the same.

AI is actually easy like brian said. Get up any sort of T2 and you've pretty much won. Pretty much all complaints about the AI being too hard are simply because those people haven't yet learnt the proper ropes of the game. Basically, watch like 2 games of high to moderate grade players play and copy their opening build and I can almost gurantee you will defeat the easy AI, easily.
Most people that I've played against so far randoms-wise simply don't understand how PA is suppose to be played, with constant expansion, focusing on economy, with getting some T2 units up for your defence/offence.

Or just watch a match between 2 Hard-mode AIs :D
