ai cheats?

[Zoombie_™]

it seem that the ai cheats, they always have resource, even when there is none on the map and seem to have an infinte population. anyone else experence this?

no ai not cheat if they don't have the resources they will not be able to use them , unless you are talking about the titan ai the titan ai have a handicap and cheats, Hard don't do that as far im aware is the same as the titan ai apart from cheating. (is also commun that the ai get stuck without being able to advance age if you hunt their animals and don't let their fish easy to do that in midgard map)

but that is my experience that i have with the ai in the game in the game before the tale of dragons dlc, if they changed that in the dlc i don't know.

what game mode are you playing and did you enable any cheats?

Surpsingly Titan AI do not "cheat". They have a weird mechanism that lets them train two units for the same price.

This happened in the Campaign AI (NewAtlantis and Trident), where the ai usually have like lot of resources by default and if a player controlled an AI he would notice that his resources were really slowly depleting due to some String that occurs in the scenario data giving AI type of players to train more units at the cost of one.

Campaign AI in Tale of the Dragon is cheating like hell, in one mission I destroyed all AI buildings, but it was not a winning condition and AI spawned endless numbers of troops out of the air.

That's a Looping Trigger for Army Deploy.

THe AI 100% cheats. It doesn't cheat with resources but it cheats in literally every other way

default ai only cheats vision, but not resources i would like to know on waht the ai is cheating tho, i could try to read the ai code/files again,
however we could always say the ai cheat in every other way as the ai can probally control more units than a human player does even tho it will not do that in a very efficient way, but in regard to game rules, the ai is not breaking then atleast, i would like to know tho if the ai is having some bugs or doing some breaking rules cheats, what the ai is doing?

aomodai don't cheat vision for military units (have to scout) if you want a less cheating ai.

i assume you guys are talking about the ai in the multiplayer/randomap game mode, because campaing use a specific ai for each map and there is a totally different file for it, and im pretty sure its not designed to play with humans rules by design, so it does cheat alot there in some of the maps (if not all)

example of campaing file with a cheating favor resource line: http://prntscr.com/r0u12p

but for the multiplayer ai, the default ai its just cheating vision, could u pinpoint me the other ways the ai is cheating? i would like to know, i know the ai used to be able to use godpowers in corner of the maps where a human player needed to rotate the screen but i think it got fixed not sure.
