Forum Overview :: Reviews :: Does the AI ever attack?

[quote name="fabio"]I played a couple games on Knight difficulty well past turn 100 and the AI never made the slightest offensive move. It always makes a peace treaty offer and keeps it until I break it. Bumped the difficulty up to Lord and so far same thing. Seems like maps are too big. Even the small map seems too large for a 1v1. Saw the option to turn off wandering independents. Holy shit could I not flip that off fast enough. The higher tier units don't really seem worth it (except for the higher irregular units you can get mostly through "free" research). Seems way more efficient to just spam tier 1 units (especially with all the buildings that start them off with rank upgrades (another opaque stat)) and wear an opponent down with attrition. Cavalry or the basic support unit (higher tier support units are totally worthless; they have the same special abilities but just marginally better stats which isn't what get them for) is about as high as I go. Maybe that all changes in multiplyer but fuck I can't imagine getting strangers to play out an entire game of this.[/quote]
