It seems from what various people have said that Dom II AI no longer gathers huge forces which they can't supply (unlike in Dom I). Maybe this upgrade is responsible, ironically, for the AI being easier? Especially since (as another person pointed out) they don't tend to buy elite troops as much as maybe a human player would. Similar supply armies, one composed of standard units and the other composed of elite units - well it's obvious who's likely to win. Is the AI smart enough to forge supply items? or smart enough to try to summon allies that don't need to eat? These are options a human player would choose when hitting the supply ceiling.

Hmm, it can be that changes in the AIs supply handling has caused armies to become smaller. I believe I should play a couple of quick games and inspect the AI armies.

Indeed, I myself barely seen any good enemy armies. I don't know why.

This is a very interesting poll. We have lot of singleplayer only!!!! fans on the Boards, and most of the people are voted that the AI is average or worse. I am kinda pleased, since I was getting flamed, that I posted bad things about the AI.

Yup. You will notice these AI weaknesses for sure..

What should IW improve in Dominions II.?

AI 69% (35)

The AI is worse than in Dominions I? If I remember, I've seen lot bigger and stronger AI armies in D1. Am I remember correctly?

Heh. I must admit that this is funny. Some guys were attacked on these Boards by someone, when they posted their opinion about the bad AI....

We can't help it if people can't say that they think the AI is weak without smelling like dirty trolls.
