Mighty Ai

[Xietor]

I am a very experienced Dom player, but i have typically played on the difficult level. For the 1st time, i stepped up to mighty, and on cradles map, with 15 computer opponents, i got a crappy spot Valoga(bottom left of top right section) next to the water. By turn 10 1 was at war with ryleh, abysa, ulm, and oceania. Having never played mighty, i feared for my forests. But I took out abysia rather quicky with centaur longbows and mercenaries. I kept a big army at my home castle and defended that against repeated attempts by the 2 water races9oceania coming by land from the west.

Now I have ulm's main castle, ryleh gave up its attacks, and oceania is being driven back. Mother oak, gift health are up. my gorgon is doing very little, while my armies of hoplites, centaur bowmen, white centaurs, and war minotaurs are crushing all they fight. Within 5 turns i will have haunted forest up and its basically game over, even though i own only top eastern part of the map.

I was expecting a much bigger challenge from the AI on the mighty setting(: I only play MA, and i have to say the old ermor in Dom II was tougher challenge.
