Default Re: Preset AI gods - help please !

This is a newb's perspective....

I have seen the AI make decent use of combat pretenders...usually not dragons as they mostly stay at home even when they shouldn't.

But an Astral Manticore was really tough for me to beat when I was starting out. And so was the wyrm when played by Ry'leh and backed up by those nasty mindbLasting illithids. Nagas and Divine Serpents are a bit different...I've seen them advance to melee when they had plenty of gems and I thought they would have accomplished more by spellcasting. The AI supercombatants at least do cast beneficial spells before advancing to melee.

In the game I'm currently playing, the other AIs did have difficulty dealing with Pangea carrion woods. I agree with folks who think try to keep Ermor and Pangea CW out of SP games.

What does AI difficulty do? Does it increase AI resources or just change their behavior?
