From what I have seen the beta testers have still been complaining about the AI. So this is not an issue of a late change that has crippled things, those testers STILL are getting their butts beat.

What I do see here is mostly veteran dom I players who know how to beat the game through practical experience from the first game. I also think some folks have judged it from limited playing time. Some people reported "THE AI IS THE WORST EVER!!!" within hours of the demo being released. Now tell me how you determine that from one game.

I am sure there are ways we can make the game better, but to say such things with such little to back it up is silly. If you have complaints, feel free to post them here, but it is much more productive to give specific examples and email files to Illwinter.

Now to the other stuff. Some people need to grow up on both sides. This is a game, not the WWF. Stop calling names or I will have to deal with that issue, and I don't want to have to do that.

If you want to get results, do this the right way. We have no problem working with people if they can PROVE there is an issue and work with the developer to fix it. Just posting constantly that you think the AI sucks and your are 3l33t won't get you anywhere.

It's a fair post.

I've played a few more games and in cases saw my major armies destroyed by the AIs. In one example, my favorite Pythium elite Emerald guards got totally wiped out by Jotun giants - I managed to got out alive only because Jotun got backstabbed by Man .

I've played Dom 1 for more than a year and of course, I would usually beat *all* the AIs if I put effort. But I guess, I could probably only do it in 3 out of 4 games.

But I also agree that the list of suggestions are quite constructive and useful for the program.
