Default Re: Good game, but....the AI is very bad.

Try it and you will see.
Ive played HoMM3 and you are correct. But its on a far less level of problem. Less units, less equip, less unit commands. But thats OK I can see the point.

The AI for Dom2 can be improved, has been improved, but will never be improved enough to not have these kinds of threads. If we get it to build LI at a level which works better for some nations then it will cause problems for others. If we get it to stop casting certain spells, or cast some more, or build sensible equip, or... well you see where its headed. There will always be more AI problems in a game like this one.

Kristoffer or any other devs...can you tell us the content of the next patch?
What is what you are going to add/fix?
If I am correct we still wont have AI improvements, that wasnt hard to figure out, eh.
Against my better judgement (as if that mattered) it appears that some responses to other loud threads here are getting addressed. But it does make sense that its multiplayer things that are loudly being proclaimed "broken".

And also a request of mine looks like its getting added (dont get mad Ive been requesting longer than you have)

If not now, with the second patch from now, please try to improve the AI, and solve the problems step by step.
He mentioned that a couple of threads had generated interest. Threads where Users discussed fixes and seemed willing to test them.
