Default Re: Are huge maps harder?

The AI is NOT a bad AI. But it does seem to be written for a certain layout. Some of the nations seem to try and reach certain spells and use them. This means that it uses gold for mages when (in quick small games) it would be better to use them for heavy troops.

In games where it can reach its goal it can be pretty rough. Large maps, few opponents, or maps with hard indep settings allow that more.

Personally I really like huge maps. What we have now are some great theme-based maps but I feel all played-out on the maps we have. Im really looking forward to someone breaking the random-map barrier.
