AI cheats a lot

[lubed_assassin]

[tillackt]

Haven’t seen that. What battles and examples?

And yet we beat it time and time again and steal all their ships
If they do cheat ... their pretty crap at it

I thought they patched out the ability to do that. Was the third rate not responding when you attacked it? Or did you manage to capture it despite the AI ships trying to defend themselves now?

I see, the ai cheats by quietly sitting there and not defending itself 😉

i think it responded and got stuck... i also ended up using every single ship on the map. it actually sunk my last ship, but i was able to board it and get off the map while it leaked water as well lol....

it was difficult cuz it wedged itself in the bay with the wind... so i had to take a point blank volley to board it.

Nice steal
At least the USA campaign has a bit of challenge with needing rep to buy stuff
TBH even on the hardest setting the game has very little challenge once you get used to the little tricks and tips
While you can capture 6 to 12 144 gunners in a single battle then exchange some for rep and add the rest to your fleet there never will be any real challenge
It actually makes "hard" mode adaptive the easiest mode to play

[lubed_assassin]

stealing ships isn't hard, just finding them... i've done a couple more missions... stole the big ship from the escort mission and now the true love merchant ship... rep is the hardest thing to come by it seems since you have to pay for them after you steal them.

i left off adaptive because i hated that in the civil war... inflict a million casualties they bring 2 million soldiers after that

Good to know that someone has already broke that encounter again. We'll see if they patch it.

Like ugcw adaptive has it's pro's and cons here
Yes they field almost entirely Sol's every battle but that's good for gaining rep and xp fast
I dip in and out of this game , play it in 20 hrs bursts the land battles are pretty badly done
but the sea battles can be fun

Best thing about adaptive is you never need to buy a single ship or cannon, you just capture so many it's not real
And as you mainly grapeshot them the repair bill when you add them to your fleet is tiny too
Pretty much leaves you all your cash for troops and the few upgrades that are worth getting

The AI here can only stand a chance when it's full of 1st rates and you have only 1 or 2
once it's equal terms the AI has zero chance of even sinking one of your ships let alone winning a battle
