I actually believe we are being trolled by this SK.

Which sane person would register in a forum of a game he doesn't intend to buy, only to say so? Why bother? This is just a person with issues, maybe a new incarnation of a previous troll.

I encourage these 3-4 posters who seem unable to articulate anything more complex that "the AI sux" and who have reached so firm conclussions after just a few hours of gameplay (if even that)to ellaborate on the issue and actually say
1.- why
2.- how they beat it &
3.- which is their paradigm of a good AI for a game of this type.

There seem to be a bunch of people here which have days 720 hours long (perhaps they live on alpha centauri or Sirius).

Because I cant even start to understand how they accessed that the AI is weak in a game so rich in a matter of 4 hours playing time. 17 races, 1000 spells (and at least as many combos to do with them), 4 difficulty levels. Frankly, who do you think you are fooling?

Dont bother to register on the forum for unargumented trolling like that. Return playing the awesome AI you have in RTS games (that I play too by the way).

i think this too....and if it is true, then I think i know who it is

Actually, the demo was released at about 7 am yesterday morning, standard eastern time....at about 10:30 am, MStavros started posting about the AI...3 - 4 hours of gameplay....and then this new guy, saying the EXACT same things as another one....sounds dubious to me....

I found this very odd. I mean propably we all tried out this Dominions II. demo. Aren't we?
We all have opinion about it? Is that correct?
So if some ppl here don't like the AI, they are trolls? You can't be serious.

Okay why is the AI weak? Hm well I have no idea, that how is this AI working, but I played 5 games with the demo.

First game against 2 AIs @ hardest level: I beat them both easily.
Second game against 4 AIs on map 2, hardest level, I won again.
Third game against 1 AI on map 1, hardest level, I killed the AI easily.
Fourth game against 4 AIs on map 1, I lost this game, but I had a 3 front war.
I won the 5th game again against 3 AIs. [Hardest level]

I am not a veteran player. What do YOU think? The AI is good or not?
I am almost a newbie, and I can beat the hell out of the demo AI. I tend to think that the AI is bad. If it is easy to kill the AI, what is your opinion about it than? Is it good? Guys even a newbie like me can crush the AI. Isn't this funny?

My question is: The AI will be better in the full game?


Other than the AI, the game is good. I love the graphics and the music is good too.
Too bad that I have no time for multiplayer, and I hate Pbem. It is too slow and annoying.

Yo man, what's wrong with you? He has the right to tell us his opinion. Just like you have the right, to post your opinion about his opinion...er..whatever.

I only say: don't bash anyone in the head, if you don't like his/her opinion. It is very childish.

Oh and maybe you won't like it, but I don't like this AI at all. I am the TROLL KING than?
