Infestations seem to only attack me not the AI?

[Tanaka]

Please fix this. Took outpost next to infestation. The infestation attacks me in outpost. But if I leave outpost empty the infestation never attacks the outpost. So I fled and left it empty because I cannot defend it from super powerful infestation. This same infestation does not attack my enemy when he is in the outpost either only me if I am. I want to raze it or let the infestation raze it. But neither can happen because of this.

Infestations do not attack the ai, as the ia doesn't attack node protectors.

I can get a nice timelapse of my vassal resting inside a dragon lair that has grown over to his city and he moves and claims fine.

The AI does not attack and claim nodes? Then broken. The AI does not attack infestations or vice versa? Then broken. Needs to be fixed. It is not a living world if the living world only responds to you and not your opponents. If this is the case this is my first big beef with AOW4.

Yep so nothing happened. And my enemy just came back and reclaimed the outpost and will never be attacked by the infestation. This is a major problem with the game!

Pretty much, it also shows the ai economy has some form of boost as they can have no node claimed, 1 city and still pump out warbreeds like they are chaf.

This is not good at all. So disappointed.

It's not that bad you feel hits to their economy, but not in brutal, atleast not till you take most cities from them

Like I was loving this game until I discovered this. Now I don't want to play at all because the AI is not playing at all. This sucks.

[Tanaka]

Next thing I am noticing is that out of all of the 9 AI's none are at war with another but one declared war on me. More of the same...

[Tanaka]

So I guess this also means the AI gets all of it's equipment for free since it does not attack anything on the map?

This entire premise is false. I've had two separate instances where the Ai amassed 4-stacks of 6-strong armies and moved straight toward Infestations to wipe them out.

In that same game, I've also had an infestation of undead (Cursed Souls, Bone-golems, Banshees) wipe out an Free City that the AI vassalized.

Never has happened in all my hours, the vassal is still ignoring the infestation and the infestation is ignoring them. They also refuse to wipe protector units on nodes as I know no one that has seen the ai fully clear their own land.

Vassals and AI are separate things.

Er, ok. Doesn't change the fact that two AI Mages destroyed two separate Infestations in a single game (one on a haunted-graveyard-type location, the other on an Archon's Blood location).

Maybe it's based on game difficulty settings (I was playing on Medium difficulty on the first scenario.) Maybe it's just a rare occurence, and my game may be a fluke (the first time it happened was around turn 56, the second was around turn 80 or so), but honestly, it SHOULD be a rare occurence.

Having the game say, "Hey, players, hoping to explore this dungeon for sweet loot? Well F*** you, the AI deleted that opportunity" would be...questionable design if it happened very often. :b

Ppl upthread were talking about vassals.

They are still classed as independents, like the infestations.

AI means AI factions, and they will attack infestations.

Vassals will not.
