I found this very odd. I mean propably we all tried out this Dominions II. demo. Aren't we?
We all have opinion about it? Is that correct?
So if some ppl here don't like the AI, they are trolls? You can't be serious.

Okay why is the AI weak? Hm well I have no idea, that how is this AI working, but I played 5 games with the demo.

First game against 2 AIs @ hardest level: I beat them both easily.
Second game against 4 AIs on map 2, hardest level, I won again.
Third game against 1 AI on map 1, hardest level, I killed the AI easily.
Fourth game against 4 AIs on map 1, I lost this game, but I had a 3 front war.
I won the 5th game again against 3 AIs. [Hardest level]

I am not a veteran player. What do YOU think? The AI is good or not?
I am almost a newbie, and I can beat the hell out of the demo AI. I tend to think that the AI is bad. If it is easy to kill the AI, what is your opinion about it than? Is it good? Guys even a newbie like me can crush the AI. Isn't this funny?

My question is: The AI will be better in the full game?


Other than the AI, the game is good. I love the graphics and the music is good too.
Too bad that I have no time for multiplayer, and I hate Pbem. It is too slow and annoying.

Thank you! This was a bit more informative than some earlier Posts on the matter.

Did you beat all the AI players within 40 turns or did you beat enough of them to feel confident that you would win (personally I do not play very focused in SP, but it usually takes me about 60-100 turns to say that I have won a game).

Did you win by victory points (the AI might be weak in this area as VP is a rather late addition)?

Did you notice if the AIs were waging war amongst themselves?

Did you notice any tactical/strategical bad moves by the AI?

How many of the AIs were you fighting at the same time?

Were yo uplaying a particular nation or theme in all games? It might be that the AI is worse against some opponents (undead).

Did you win the war by winning each battle, or by a total strategy (battle AI or strategic AI problems)?

Was your wins based on score graph evaluation or by actual victory (beating all the AIs/fullfilling victory conditions)?

A suggestion if you want more opposition. Set one AI to impossible and some to normal or easy. This way the impossible AI will have an easy time to swallow up other AIs.
