AI hero OP?

[sirpingouin]

Am I crazy (or just bad) or do AI heroes get exp faster and are generally stronger than player hero?

[Gilmore]

I’ve noticed that too. Most free cities that I see have a level 10 or 11 hero, and they don’t even fight anything.

Same. This last one had two level 13's. And they were tanky demon units with the revive one turn later game rule for city states.

The AI hero i think gets a set amount per turn, since they do not actively hunt infestations that are not in their zone i think.

I also think free cities start with a hero leveled to a certain point based on turns taken,

Ai also I think gets items given to it periodically, i often ally one AI just to buy items from them since they get so much better items in general.

I don't think free cities follow normal rules. Not sure how it works for the others. Maybe they get xp bonus like a resource bonus?

I believe they simply "scale up" over time, just as the resource-node NPC defenders do.

they get free items too

Would not surprise me, they don't seem very active in doing infestations and whatnot. Even though I play with the setting that keeps respawning new ones.

Those are baby numbers!

I took on a free city that had 9 heroes, level 9-13. Mostly around 10-12.

Unfortunately I did not check their army comp before attacking and went in very unprepared for THAT bs.

I'm playing on 'Normal' difficulty and my heroes are on average about 5 levels higher than AI opponent heroes. Free cities' heroes are around the same as mine, maybe slightly lower.

But while I could only unlock the champion armor once, in the material path, I noticed that like 4-5 heroes of the Vengeful Drow ALL had this equipped on them :D Where did they get those?

Oh well... I'll just strip it off of them when I sell their remains :D

lol The amount of items I've taken from AI heroes that now fill my army is probably in the 60's in my current game. I'm not complaining though, cause I'm sure not finding them elsewhere.

I think they have a dupe bug somewhere (or AI cheat to dupe heroes and items).
I fight AI atm and after i kill several their heroes just 5 turns later they hire (or dupe) more. And interestingly - those new heroes have exactly same items as the ones defeated by me.
My prison and crypt is horded with AI heroes with same item loadouts (and that's tier 3 items already in each slot!).

[Evalis]

I want the ability to buy or craft magical items too. Unfair that the AI can do it, but the player can't.
