AI Never Build Walls.

[Earthsiege]

I enjoy playing 2v2 in COOP with my friend and i never seen AI build walls or used tower siege, is there specific settings or maps that need to be played for this to happen? Such as AI difficulty? Building walls imo makes the game more interesting and I'd like to see the AI do this more regularly.

What is your experience? And do you gave any tips?

they build on hardest, still they do it when they have resources and it's late game not always, tower rush they never do it, they just fast castle with alot of military spam, i was messing with the editor and found out the AI bug because they have limited commands sometimes, if they can do it for some reason they just stop for whole game.
anyway why don't play with other players if you want a harder game?

Thanks for the info.
I don't want to play other game, I love AOE, played it ever since the 90s, just wish the AI weren't so buggy and actually utilised walls and siege more intelligently.

It is interesting to know the ai only build walls on hardest, do you know if that is a bug, or by design?

They rarely build them.

AI is bugged, it mostly camps inside its base, and only sends out small warbands. Unless you attack its buildings then it sometimes moves its whole army out.

And Even on hardest its not a 100% that it will build walls. Even when it does, it will wall wrong, and try to wall over a barrack and have a incomplet wall.

Do you know if the devs plan to fix this?
It is a great game, it is such a shame the dumb AI lets it down.

I guess the only way around this is to build a map in the editor with AI bases already built with walls and gates?

Is there any possibility the AI can be fixed or improved by modding?

ai is not that dumb, if you can win vs hardest you can play multiplayer very well, even players build wall only later and some games don`t, yes you can try to make the ai better at editor but it`s hard to use, you need programming skills

Issue since day 01 of release.
One of the many reasons why i gave up on this game. Such dissapointing in many parts for a Game of 202X

[NamelessKing]

they definitely do i played against intermediate ai today who walled off their city

[perl]

They dont.

[Rolox]

I have 1k hours in this game and I have never seen AI build a single wall

[UgaBuga Conq4]

they do not build walls. even on absurd they just camp or spam units from base. they dont need walls because they have ridiculous amount of resources and unending units coming at you

[McPhrog]

I see them build walls a lot. If you harass them they usually won't.

[perl]

I wish we could make them always build walls

[ethorin101]

...I've seen AI build walls a lot... even on just Intermediate.

[Risotto]

They definitely do..
