Ai still broken?

[BluntForceTrauma]

Anyone who recently cared to play vs ai ? Last time I played vs the comp they did nothing but standing in their base. Has this been fixed?
I could ofc try myself but I'm not at home and I don't have the game installed anymore, that's why I'm asking.

Thank you for any replies :)

I have not experienced this so far.

no its not done, its still a turkey shoot even on absurd, even if they have max, even if you do a vanilla game etc etc... its broken. You MAY get one game 5% of the time where it acts correctly though

I see it less often, but I have seen it continue to happen in larger games with multiple non-allied AI's, there's a decent chance that one AI will become paralyzed to some extent and be dead in the water at some point. It'll then be conquered by me or another AI and the rest of the game will be relatively normal.

Most of the the Absurd AI is average of a good player.
Sometimes it goes ape, and is playing like easy/normal AI.

But sometimes...
Sometimes it does ABSURD things... Burgrave rush at 7:30 with burgrave 3 barracks 2 stables and archery range non stop production rallying it across map while also getting 2/2 upgrades while also aging up at 10-11 min and getting imperial upgrades.
Something you can only do if you have 200% resources cheats, and it's fin brutal, all the cheeses in the world are not enough to stop it.

Yes

But is the player base fake or not?

AOE4's AI is the worst in the franchise...

Just so you know, AOEIV's AI never worked properly.

It worked great the first week I played the game with my brother then all of a sudden it got completely broken every single match we tried. We even played vs absurd and they did absolutely nothing

You're replying to a known troll. He always bumps negative posts with half-arsed comments. He played only a few games 2 years ago. And he has a VAC ban on his account.

I didn't say how many hours you have. And stop lying, your last played games are 2 years ago. You're doing a very similar thing on the official forums, where you're trolling the game with every post. It's only fair that people get warned so that they don't get misled.

I can only imagine how hard it is to develop a good game and then have every moron troll it because they find it funny.

The AI isn't full blown broken anymore (outside of the halloween game mode), but they do still have a frequent hyperfixation on building way too many lumber camps.
