Friendly AI are stupid

[RainbowRuby]

i only play automatic difficulty (when by myself) and currently sitting around 120, i random all AI as well as myself, put no skulls on and play standard mode 90% of the time.

but it always seems like that my AI teammates are F*CKING dumbasses.

they never take any bases unlike the enemy AI, always does a stupid rush with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ units which get killed so fast which then gets overwellmed since i have to try and defend against 2 or 3 armies by myself.

are friendly AIs MEANT to be slightly worse than the enemy ones or am i just getting unlucky?

Um, as far as I can tell...all friendly AIs are completely stupid. I have this game on Xbox, and after playing a couple dozen AI matches, they are meant to be dumb.

The AI is not stupid. The friendly AI remain on the same level how you are. If you are good the friendly AI, too. If you are bad the friendly AI, too.

I play on Legendary! I am good very good and never notice on 3vs3 that my friendly AI is useless.

possibly the stupidest thing I've ever read. SO you're saying that setting the AI to easy is the same as setting them to legendary.....

Maybe, because I never played on Easy however on Legendary the enemy AI receive more boost than the friendly AI. I play only on Legendary everything set to the highest difficult. 3vs3 or 2vs2 is teamplay but you can't count on your friendly AI if you are bad. First the enemy AI notice how bad you are and attack you first to destroy you succesful and what does your friendly AI nothing to help you out here because how I said before remain on the same level how you are. I always rush in 3vs3, 2vs2 and 1vs1 and I am able to destroy the first enemy AI at the same time my friendly AI destroy the others. I always support my friendly AI everytime where I think I need to.

For me act the enemy AI more aggressive than the friendly AI. The behavoir that the friendly AI remain on the same level from the player is clearly noticeable.

Play Legendary 3vs3 or 2vs2 and play defensive only and what you think happends. The enemy AI steamroll you. --> xD

the difficulty does nothing but give them different bonus, reduced things, better reaction time and stuff

I think all the AI are stupid, but that's just my view. It's very easy to win the game when the enemy AI does nothing to defend it's base. Of course this can work against you as well when your AI teammates are just as brain dead as them.

In the terms of friendly AI being worse than enemy AI? I think it's true. Not sure if it's purposely done to make the game harder, but I find the enemy AI to be a bit more aggressive and organised.

Same thing. According to my experience, frequently friendly AI allies are not just stupid, but secretly favour the enemies through deliberate negligent behaviour. We are victims of an alien conspiracy.

yeah i remember that, its to do some recon and see what the enemy has

[ModerNertum]

My AI does the Warthog run when it wastes the Warthog you get for free on a lone Rebel base instead of building an army to take it first...and other weird stuff. Enemy AI seems to be clever to me (attacking with organized tactics, multiple fronts, etc...). Its just from what I have seen in AI Skirmishes on Deathmatch mostly.
