AI handling PHALANX units bad/sieges,

My capaign against Seleucid empire is very boring thing. Im killling thm like bunch of smalll blind cats.

Silver shield pikemens are always attacking in disorder, its "easy" to break their "line"...in fact I dont need to because they are just takin a walk in front of my legions. Only "problem" are peltasts.

In last battle idiots attacked me with cca 3600 men, i had 1909 men. I lost 17 men, they lost cca 2900...what a challenge.

My general had 2 stars, they had captain but stilll, kill ratio is silly.....

Also in sieges opened doors means nothing to me because its far more better to conquer the walls before entering the city and capture towers first.

Also, AI generals are suicidal maniacs. In 96% battles I killl poor bastard!

First level of tetris is far more challenging than this:-)

Are you plaing easy/easy ?

Try vh/vh - you WILL have your challege!

P.S. Of course AI should have build more archers to defend cities but when there are some... even bestarnae have problems to reach walls without siege weapons ;-)

no VH/VH is just unfair seeing your triarii getting killed by townwatch because of the stupid extra's the AI get. Just make a AI that doesn't need that and that can beat you in battle with fair stats.

I play on MEDIUM/MEDIUM always because of stats. Its really stupid when your triarii get beaten by poor units as said above.

Im TW veteran because I mastered Shogun, medieval and now Rome. Even on very hard I kick ass (custom battle).

On medium I play godlike against stupid computer...and I refuse to play on hard or very hard because of unfair stats!!!!

I just wanna AI in the game and much more agressivity from computer!!!

i also kick ass with RTW on very hard/very hard. it's just unfair, that's what i'm saying.
I'm a MTW and RTW veteran, i also played STW but after i already tasted a bit of MTW, so i decided to play MTW instead.

btw, i never really learned how to fight STW battles i almost never won, but in MTW and RTW i almost never lost.

**NicSO** · 02-23-2005, 17:55

Yes, Its unfair and idiotic so I dont like to play on har or very hard.

I worked out my strategy years ago with Shogun, I really enjoyed medieval and Im dissapointed with Rome!!!

**The Stranger** · 02-23-2005, 17:59

the game is good but just unfinished. i thought (and i think everybody else too) yhat they would take all the good things of MTW and work that out. like the points you could get by taking provinces and building buildings before the limit. and the era changes and stuff like that, but they didn't they just came up with a whole other type of game.

Ah...when I remember great battles against christian armyes...I played with Byzantines and game was real challenge. My last MTW game Egypt was strong and big. They conquered Spain, Nort Africa and Anticoh was mine:-). We entered nasty war in 14 century, war to the end:-) I won:-) after hard battles. I also engaged french and Germans. I conquered half Germany in 12 century, Poland, Hungary.....Im gonna play it again...Rome simply sucks!!!

yes i hope EB is going to save my mod, so when EB is out i can use some of their units put those in my mod so i'll save time.

BTW i could really use some help from veteran modders, esspecially skinmodders.
