Default Re: So...the customers wont be cheated this time?

Crap, having the AI build castles and labs can't be that difficult.

After all, they havn't recoded Dom3 from scratch. Therefore they have fixed both issues. Or haven't they?

And about AI strength and weakness: give the AI some pre-build castles and labs on the map to conquer. You'll find that it would get at least 50% stronger.

But it didn't take days to notice that the AI does not build castles at all and therefore recruits only indie crap because it lacks the ressources to go for heavy troops.

Obviously, a human player can always find a way to exploit some tactics the AI can't understand. But I might get some fun out of SP (and I bought Dom2 mostly for SP, too) by staying away from such abusive tactics. Therefore, having a unnecessary crippled AI destracts heavily from the fun I can have with the game.
