AI is rediculous

[Bloodyboo12]

So I take it the AI just cheats in this game too?

[Zeek]

AI gets bonuses to stuff as difficulty increases yes.

[Werdna]

Cheats are fine
The fact that nobody fights factions that fight you EVER is not fine. AI needs to be punished for dragging all of its armies at you and leaving other borders unprotected.

[SBA77]

Yes, but the AI cheats in almost every strategy game. Apparently that's what the game devs' definition of hard difficulty is, give the AI cheats. If that bothers you just research which difficulty they don't or get the least amount of bonuses, or try this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861087118

There's also a bunch of others to choose from too.


And even some that make the AI cheat more

Yeah because Ai is still way more stupid than stupidest players....

I dont think its fun to have to use cheese mechanics or play like I have 3000 hours experience to play anything above easy.

honestly the cheating isnt the problem
its that they only exist to annoy you
dwarves and orcs will gladly band together to fight you while your playing another dwarf
the empire will sing peace deals with vampires to band together while your busy with the dwarf orc alliance
there is no world, there is no lore, there is no warhammer
there is just an excuse to send armys at you

Thats really what it feels like, it really feels like the game is more focused on making me lose the game over playing under any acceptable norms.

No wonder it's frustrating to finish my Kislev campaign. I have like 10 chaos armies coming at me at one time excluding Skaven and Norsca factions. It got so annoying I had to just auto resolve most of it by ambushing near settlements. The cheating by the AI needs to be fixed because it's not realistic. All it does is just annoy you and your ready to rage quit.

[Elitewrecker PT]

Play easy and the ai won’t be able to upkeep all those armies

[Shacck]

The campaign AI has to cheat inorder to competensate for the Battle AI and because you're a human that can outplay the AI in many different ways. IF you only do autobattle then you're at a disadvantage simply because the battle AI is the easiest part to outplay.
You don't realize it yet but the AI is actually too weak and I really wished they had improved some more factors when it comes to the battle AI.

Yep.
That is why the anti cheat mod is a must.
Just the remove of the anti player code is a massive improvement.
I wish they just made it an option to turn the anti player bias off.

I just watch 2 AI armies warp around my territory underground for about 5 turns always ending just outside of my armies travel range and they always ended in a raiding stance. After 5 turns of them raiding constantly just outside of my range, they attacked a castle that was exactly 1.1 turns away to ensure I couldnt contest it effectively. This entire time, they were at war with 1 other faction and that faction left them entirely alone. What am I possibly supposed to do if the game can identify my exact move range and ♥♥♥♥ me until they find the perfect opening.

[Basarab Laiota]

stop chasing them, use ambush stance..

Made 0 difference, just warped around raiding till they could ♥♥♥♥ me. The game expects you to use cheese strats or play for so long you know whats broken.

This is true 👍
