What kind of AI do you want?

[Sir Robin]

I agree that designing a good AI is difficult but I have seen games with much lower budgets have far superior AI.

A good AI is very important to a games value. Designers, or at least their marketers, know this and so we always hear about how this or that games AI is "great." Sad how few games live up to this hype though.

[Ibn Munqidh]

AI that it truely AI, AI that is progressive, AI which will develope artificial intelligence during the game, something that was non-existant in Rome, where the AI kept performing the same, stupid manoevers and tactics over and over again.

The AI is pathetic in mtw and rtw, except for a few battles, I wasnt EVER beat without insurmountable (practically ubeatable) odds. I can take on 1v4 of the comp.

Horse archers? The ai chases them around the map while being decimated

Seiges?Ai runs back and forth while your bombarding them with missles, then when its attacking it just sits there and gets wiped out.

The Ai never attempted to flank me, EVER. And iv played hundreds of battles. They always run into a strong front line and they rarely ever employ archers.

Bridge battles...May be a glitch, but most of the time they just sit there and do nothing.

The AI on the campaign screen is even worse. Though iv found that just turteling and letting the enemy get stronger then you is funner. The AI has no perception of decent armys, strategys, agents, and it backstabs you for no reason, no honor whatsoever, and refuses treaties that include them saving their asses and getting 500k and all their territory back.

The AI on hard mode doesnt improve, it just gets cheat codes/extra money and troops.

I could go on and oooooon. But ill save you time The AI needs to be redone.
