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.

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 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....

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?

Are the AI complainers playing with "impossible" AI? Maybe they don't realise that there's more than one setting.

Yup I had those games against impossible AIs.
But wait, I thought that impossible = best AI.

Wendigo,

Excellent post, with some very good points.

For those who are finding the AI easy, tell us what you did and how it defeated the AI. Even the best AI is still just a set of computer algorithms and can thus be improved, and that's exactly the information that will be required to continue developing it.

And if you can't let us know what you do, I'm afraid you can't blame people very much for thinking you are just posting to cause trouble. Support what you say, and you'll find a different reception than making totally unsupported, inflamatory remarks will bring you.

Psitticine, I've made a post about my games in the poll thread. I hope that it will be helpful.
