Platinum bots

[Synaxs]

do they cheat? I feel like they gain more gold and mythium by default, I can't keep up at all on this difficulty :|

Platinum bots? Don't think so. Diamond ones start with 60 income but pretty sure platinum is just fine tuned to know exactly how much it can get away with.

Oh.... damn, I suck :D
Gold bots are ok, but after that I always lose around wave 15

Diamond bots are the only ones that cheat by starting with bonus income. Unranked through Platinum bots do not cheat.

thanks for clarifying. It always felt like they do cause they send so many mercs later on where I wonder how they get mythium so fast

They're just buying more workers than you'd expect, pushing an extra few workers can really snowball hard.

Gold Bots are okay? My last 5 games against gold AI, my bot teammates always leak and was 4th... i can do whatever i can, i can't win with that kind of teammate... of course it fed the enemy team, so on waves 15 i got shaman and kraken cause they are overfed. so i leak 2 and he leak 10, near full life ,mobs...
My winrate in ranked against real people is 80%.
Against gold AI, it's 15%...

I'm playing with a friend, prolly that's why gold are okay. Played some ranked/classic and that really helped us now

Yeah, your ally bots in VS AI seem like they're a lower rank than the enemy ones even though they claim to be the same rank. Enemy ones barely ever leak while the ally one leaks regularly

I'm plat in ranked but I can't beat gold ai ? AI ally is always behind no matter what

about the one thing that feel rigged beside diamond bot having an unfair advantage. the bot pited with you do uter nonsense if things does not goes as he is scripted to, i noticed some kind of behavior pattern, eventually it goes "i don't know what to do" and start doing wierd ♥♥♥♥ like sending snail on a wave the ennemy will simply get feed.

Just beat Diamond AI after 2 weeks of trying 1-3 times a day. The income thing is fine, that was easy enough to overcome. What sucks is your AI Team mate builds like garbage 95% of the time, while the enemy builds near perfect defense 90% of the time. So not only do you have to be running a near perfect game yourself, you have to play and play until that 5% and 10% lines up.

Fiesta & Pack Rats for the win, by the way. Most reliable strategy I found was 7 pack rats by wave 6, keep sending them (except waves 9, 10, 13 and 15) and then slowly build defense and workers making sure you get wave leaks to less than 100% so you get kill gold.
Until wave 9 send for income, maybe trying for some lucky leaks on wave 4, 6 or 7 depending on enemy builds At wave 9 focus on defense more and save to send on waves 13 and 15.

yeah I guess beating plat AI is a good exam for the newcomers, once you learn the basics they are no match for you.

Would love to hear from a dev why your AI partner plays so crappy. They always just go full income mode and don't even strategize sends at all.

Teammate AI is coded the exact same as enemy AI. Some reasons your teammate AI can be dumber:
- The AI isn't perfect, so it depends on which units each AI has, among other factors
- If you're playing Diamond Play vs. AI, you (the human player) are the weakest player at the beginning of the game. Your teammate AI has to overbuild to cover for you, which makes it fall behind the enemy AI and income sends to try to cover you.

Agreed we could make improvements!

Frustrating set of games with AI. Just constantly facing an opponent that gets income sent and has double worker count. You cannot win against that.
