Is Skirmish AI broken as well?

[Badman*Kazuya]

Did 1.9 break skirmish AI as well because 1v1 on medium is just ridiculous. Its like the AI has 1000 mouse cursors and unlimited funds. Due to the fast nature of the game its not fun to play in the slightest. Medium AI should be a fair challenge but this game is awful. Kanes Wrath feels far more reasonable in AI difficulty.

Is it just my imagination because I can nearly always crush KW AI and this game is like hard even on medium?

considering the number of complaints we've been getting recently about skirmish AI it might be. I don't think it is though. The ai in campaign is broken since it operates entirely off scripts and thus has no need for resources or anything. That shouldn't be the case in skirmish and the AI should be making 100% what it\the player should normally make on medium.

Nah man its ridiculous, completely broken. AI gets too many "helping hands." Play Kanes Wrath skirmish and then C and C 3 and you will see the difference immediately.

The Ai is getting resource buffs. It can expand on medium like it was a brutal Ai and before you know it, it has 4 helipads filled with bombers / orcas and is pummelling your base.

C and C was never ment to be this fast paced. Should of know this game wouldnt match up to the classics. Garbage ADHD trash.

It's an AI. It doesn't need a mouse cursor or UI like human players do, the entire battlefield is his cursor and UI.

Regarding the economy, I don't think they have infinite resources. I always play map control tactics and occupy most of the tiberium field. After some time, the AI will be broke. I think they reached a certain amount of units, they would stop building units while still gathering money so after you destroyed all their units after the resources are depleted or cut off their economy routes, they still have the money they harvested earlier.

The medium and hard difficulty are ok to me. It's brutal that's problematic. I wrote this on another topic:

It's a super omniscient computer that can multitask building big armies (while still flawlessly managing them in separate groups) and manage resources at the same time so there will always be a steady flow of enemy combat units and they would still ahead in economy.

Your basically fighting Cabal XD

U all just slow.
Tw and kw play fairly the same.

Not a reason to call it adhd trash.

Learn hotkeys, learn the most basic builds ( pp, ref, wf, ref)

Don't bother playing online if Tw medium seems unfair.

[ZBag]

This ai definitely got a buff. I played a "balanced" medium and the thing had 70 units in 2 minutes. Anyone saying that is normal is full of it.

[Mr.Kill]

Welp the good news is everyone can just play kane's wrath. The new units and changes aren't all that much and the AI in kane's wrath shouldn't be nutso.

too bad it's way better than classics which didn't stand the test of time :)

AI in 1.09 is as same as ever. Nothing special and hard to beat.

Red Alert 2, Yuri's Revenge and mods.

[Menkerot]

Only Yuri and always with mods. People stopped playing vanilla many-many moons ago, for obvious reasons. Just like vanilla HoMM 3, AoE 2, CK2 (especially when CK3 is still pretty bare bones), Vampire Masquerade (which isn't even playable without mods), Skyrim... you name it. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Not vanilla, but Red alert 2.
