hi!

[Ibrahim]

hello! I'm a newcomer to this particular sections of the guild (i'm EB forum topper). I just want to know if the AI in S:tw is good. thanks and:balloon2: :balloon2: in advance (I dunno if they're "currency" here)

[Tony Furze]

Hello Ibrahim. And welcome.
The AI is terrific- best of the series as far as I understand.

[Martok]

Welcome to the Sword Dojo, Ibrahim! Yes, Shogun's AI is generally superior to that of the other TW titles (although MTW's AI is a close second). :yes:

[Parallel Pain]

Eh? I thought MTW has an as-good or better AI

No, no, what are you doing, put that katana down, no aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

[LittleGrizzly]

The mtw ai is probably more advanced and complicated, but in terms of tactics on the battlefield the stw ai always used to give me more of a challenge than in mtw, i think the main problem with the battlefield ai on shogun is the suicidal diamyo (or just a general that is cavalry)

The main reason for better battlefield ai in stw is everything is more simplified for the ai, im not sure if it helps the ai but there is a much better balance between the units in shoggy as well...

I agree that's probably the biggest reason for it. Shogun's AI handles far fewer unit types than in MTW, particularly hybrid units (which it's never been able to truly utilize effectively). MTW's AI is hampered by Nizaris, Jinnettes, and the like.
