Default Re: Noobs & Vets: Rise of the AI Menace. EA, BI, Running.

I am almost certain that the AI doesn't see your moves. Put another way - on the occasions when I have rehosted a turn for one reason or another, doing different things, the AI has always* done the same thing(s) each time.

* There are funny things with how movement works, so I can't be 100% certain on this.

It may have super-scouting info or something, though.

Other than that, you're right about the micromanagement. The computer is a better small-force raider than most human players for this reason.
