AI targeting the human player
I started the game as a Spectre Collector
whenever i landed on a space to pick up a beneficial card (e.g. Pool of Fortune) the warlock (AI player 5) would cast stasis on me to receive a a different card which was usually enemy which a higher amount than me.

Every time I reloaded and landed on a different space to pick up a card the warlock would cast stasis.

However after reloading it to I eventually landed on a denizen.

BUT

When it came to AI player 2 (The Wizard) and it landed on the same space to pick up the beneficial (e.g. Pool of Fortune) card the Warlock does not cast stasis.

However when it came to my turn and I land on a space to pick up a card the Warlock casts stasis.

It does not matter what space I go to after reloading the Warlock always target me when it come to pick up a card and no one else

Why?

Were you ahead of others in terms of stats (strength and craft)?
Grythandril Mar 22, 2023 @ 12:39pm 
it was at the start of the game

Yes, but if you were ahead of others, even at the start of the game, then maybe that's why the AI targetted you in particular.

Well the stats at the start of the game were

Spectre collector
Strength 2
Craft 4
Life 4
Fate 3
gold 1

Wizard
Strength 2
Craft 5
Life 4
Fate 3
Gold 1

Warlock
Strength 2
Craft 5
Life 4
fate 1
gold 1

Not much of a difference in stats

And yet the warlock will target me if I pick up a beneficial card

But when reloading will not target the wizard if it picks up the same beneficial card.

I still have the game which is stopped at round 4

please advise

Best I can come up with is that Spectre Collector is the only non-spell character in the game and therefore the warlocks stasis spell might not be counter-spelled. Got me stumped.

actually it was a 6 player game which 5 was AI

Spectre Collector - Human
Wizard - AI
Dragon Priestess - AI
Ministrel -AI
Warlock - AI
Sage - AI

but warlock will still target me

The AI definitely seems to have a preference for targeting the human/Player 1, sometimes to the exclusion of winning the game. Just lost a game with two AI warlocks and one AI warrior, the warlocks let the warrior run away with the game from constantly casting spells on me, even as the warrior was approaching the crown.

It's also just bad in general. I've seen it do things like use the last fate point to reroll a six at the tavern only to end up fighting the farmer.

With Cursed destiny, AI will cancel it's own rerolls :steammocking:
