Opinion on bots? (AI)

[Agares]

Are the bots bad?

I dont understand, I played against 3 legendary AI, one just built up a small army and never attacked, another one was attacking constantly and behaving normally, third one didnt even advance to mythic age.
In original it was impossible to beat titan ai 1v1 without any "tricks" on plain map.

What type of AI did you pick? In my experience is that depending if you pick an aggressive, defensiveness or standard AI they behave differently regardless of the difficulty chosen.

I choose standard, nothing else. I mean it could've been just a bugged AI which used to happen in original aswell, but watching some videos on youtube also showed similar not difficult behaviour.

I played against one aggressive AI on Titan with my friend and we got defeated in late game by it going to wonder age first and spamming god powers so I feel like the AI works as intended but it depends which type of AI you pick and the difficulty.

It's probably because the old Titan AI cheated like there's no tomorrow. If the devs went the same route as AoE2 DE and AoE4 (before the "ridiculous" AI update), then probably the AI doesn't cheat here either.
However, I didn't witness the behavior you're describing even on hard AI.

Really hoping we got the original games bot options back in full release for things like conqueror, protector, defender etc etc it adds a lot more flavor to VS AI games

standart bots are basically "super easy" they dont really do anything. they have 3 possible game plans. a middling one, an aggressive one or a defensive one. defesinve AI NEVER attacks, aggressiv ai trys to attack all the time, but on standard it is slow and stupid.
Hard is basically normal AI that plays as good as a bad player without cheats. from there the ai cheats with more income. but titan is still pretty easy when youre good

This wonderful AI can't cross seas to colonize more island in Isles maps. It's just still the old AI from 2000.

For the rest, they just create bus and send them to death one by one. No progress since Warcraft II.
