Best AI commanders

[Elaini]

I matched each commander in a skirmish of three in a hard level, based on their country and style of fighting. Each match is set in a symmetrical stage that had random bonus crates. I guess I was just really bored.

The match based on the style of fighting were done in the following way:

Heavy artillery: Warren, Oleg, Kenji

Air force: Giles, Zhana, Shinzo

Marines / Special: Lissette, Moskvin, Naomi (it's hard to fit Lissette in any category)

The matches of three received scores in a following way: 1st - 2, 2nd - 1, 3rd - 0

The matches of four based on the top results receives scored in a following way: 1st - 4, 2nd - 3, 3rd - 2, 4th - 1

If the results in fourth and fifth place were even, it was made sure that all countries were represented. The choice was made by chance of being a winner, and fitness for the battle stage.

If you wonder how it's possible to have four teams, "-" does work as the 4th team in skirmish.

Final score:

Soviets - Oleg: 13 (Kirov reporting!)
Allies - Giles: 11 (Air force and tea.)
Soviets - Moskvin: 10 (Drones and goulash.)
Empire - Kenji: 9
Empire - Naomi: 5
Empire - Shinzo: 3
Allies - Warren: 2
Soviets - Zhana: 2
Allies - Lissette: 1

This doesn't mean that you cannot beat Oleg. I saw all commanders do some pretty dumb moves, and many are way too stuck in their programmed "preferences". Many of them don't have an idea how to create an organized, functional base or what their priorities should be.

Brutal difficult? You mean Hard, or is it a mod?

Zhana is pretty easy if you think that she builds loads of Twinblades, but even in Hard she seems to "forget" to build Mig fighters to protect them.

So send some Mig or Apollo fighters, Mecha Tengus and Rocket Angels to get rid of her Twinblades while you plot how to stelthily send some troops to strike the heart of her base. Usually that's how she's defeated.

Also, try to keep her Airfield nonexistent.

In skirmish mode, you can change Brutal enemy AI... did you know? :P

Right... skirmish is what I used for these results but the highest difficulty I've found is Hard. That's why I wondered if you have modded your game or not.

Though it does make sense that the commanders are each specialized in something, i never really saw any significant difference while Skirmishing against them, though most were done while using and testing mods so that may explain.

I always judged from their characteristics which one was which, such as Warren being a naval commander, and Giles one for air force.

Giles is actually a very good ally if he does have an air force in his disposal. That's why he doesn't give a very good impression in the first Ally mission. He's short of supplies.

LOL i did 2 naomi vs 2 giles naomi won maybe different AI's are only good at other

[Elaini]

Want this redone in Brutal?

[Rufus]

Honestly, it all depends on the map. And the AI + The Difficulty

Which is why the campaign uses different AI for Different Missions.
