is it possible to be as fast as the AI ?

[Exbeer]

as staded above, pluss is there some info out there around building smart? aka not build a ♥♥♥♥ tone from the get go having it pan out with everyhing getting what it needs wen it needs it ? like minimal effort for max outcome

Initially they will out build you for the most part and get to the new world faster.

It's just once they reach a certain point they mostly stop till the next progression and they cheat where they can get resources even if you blockade them.

You either need to take advantage of their play style if you plan on killing them or work with them.

hmm okey, im just a little curius on how they build in the first place, before i even get to the point of having bricks for instance they are alredy on iron, i mean if they build to the exact number requierd that is one thing like 1 to 1 ratio , just a little curius if one is able to replicate this so its some what easyer to get ships to get to new islands faster so i can get more goods to diffrent island, becose as of now i relly woude like to have change up my main island if this makes at all sense xD

I wouldn't worry too much about your starting island's design too much where you redesign it until you get another island or two.

Eventually you make them more of a production island while your starting one gets more space for population and gets the goods shipped to it.

ye , i have 3 islands pluss 1 new world, but in order to get the first island up and running it needs alot, while i see the ai relly dont need mutch at all :P by the time the ai can build ships im prob twide the pop on my first island :p

They need to change the difficulties or add characters in between, 1 star and 2 star are day and night that it's not even fun anymore, cheating AIs is not a viable way to go tbh.

1 star AI are just too easy/no aggression whatsoever.
2 star AI are just cheating, 8 hours in my sandbox game and they were already in the New World with 2 islands (cities on them) and 3-4 islands on the Old World I mean come on... (I can't imagine 3 stars)

its basically scripted how fast each ai character builds what, same as their general behavior. as others have said before, they always pull ahead to give you a challenge and then stagnate at some point. the bigger issues is that they cant really recover from being demolished too much. idk why they still havent changed this since its always been an issue in all previous annos :/

ye wen i got to the new world with wasy AI i was the first, at 2 star AI`s wen i got there ,i didd take my time dho becose i diddent get a good canning island at the start there was only 2 islands for me in the new world, and they had steam loong before ,i mean if the ai gets mats i kidna feel likethat is hmm mhee,, but i can still stand aginst the AI fighting style wen it comes to that so i have no problem there to keep playing and still keep the ai at bay but still.

well the technology just isnt there yet, maybe in a few years we have ai that can actually think. for now theyre just scripted behavior and therefor need to cheat aka create wares from thin air because anything else would be to complicated. i do agree that one could do a better job at scripting, differentiating and balancing them. its not like its easy though, ♥♥♥♥ job tbh :D

btw the first real ai modern ai in games is the open ai project for dota 2 bots. the olderst one i can remember was the quake 3 bots.

i will say i do lack wery mutch knowlage into what AI relly down to it roots does, so you mite be right in that regard that si is prob not this good yet, hopefully they can tweek there AI for the future, as loong as i dont get board wipted im cool with it to a degree, i can always learn how to faster do stuff :)

Yes you can keep up with AI. On hardest setting I got to new world first, and got 2 islands, just in time before AI get there.

You can be just as quick.
