AI always an ally.

Basically me and my friend like to play against the AI. It was working fine us 2 vs 2 computers on seperate teams with teams locked. The next day we tried plying same everything, map teams race etc but the AI swap over to our allies.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Or does anyone know how to fix it?

Have you made sure to set the AI to one team (seperate teams if you don't want them to be allied with each other) and you & your friend to a different team, and selected 'Lock Teams' at the start of the game? Prevents diplomacy switching.

I am, I made sure of this. We tried me hosting, him hosting. We even tried being on team 3 and them on 4. It is annoying me a bit more as it worked fine the previous night and now it is impossible for us to vs the AI.

But yes I definatly made sure we were on seperate teams and that the teams were locked.

Hmm. No idea then, sorry! I play with friends against the AI pretty often and I've never seen this. It's really odd, and sounds like quite an annoying glitch. Hopefully someone else will know.

Since launch I have had problems with this game, just mainly crashing and freezing. They are much less frequent but the AI bug is making is un playable as I just play amongst friends against AI.

Abi!

Have you selected 'Lock teams' on the set up screen?

What difficulty do you have the AI on? On lower difficulties it will swap teams.

I have the teams locked. Tired both locking the teams and not locking the teams. Tried hard and hardest. It use to work playing on hard but we moved up to hardest and the AI always turn to our team, it doesnt give a notification they changed they are simply our allies.

Since it was our first attempt at "hardest" difficulty and they were allies, we swapped to lower ones thinking it was just a bug on that difficulty but now the AI on all difficulties become our allies. Even if the teams are locked and balanced (same amount on each team).

Also tried with and without treaties, still our allies.

Teams are 100% locked and 100% on seperate teams from ourselves.

Sorry for bumping necro thread, but i reinstalled and have same problem on single player games. Diplomacy stuck as an ally when starting game. When i change to neutral/enemy, press ok. Then go back to diplomacy, it is set back to ally. This is game breaking. Any solutions found?

My wife had this issue. It's a bug. But we found a solution!
It worked on Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition, but should work here too.
Create a new solo game with 1 IA, unmark "Locked Teams" and mark "Treat Expires" to 5 minutes. Start the game, wait for the treat to expire and change the diplomacy from ally to enemy. Check if it changed properly. After that, leave the game.
Then start your next games without treat and you'll be fine!
I hope it helps future players.
