  • The new Extreme AI is pretty good, but in this video I'll put a claim to the test that it can beat 7 of the old AIs at once.

      It actually makes perfect sense. You see, the Red heard about the great powers of Amon, so he is ready, if everything goes to shit, to try his luck and make a pact with Amon itself, but he build the walls as well because he dosen't want to risk Amon invading his kingdom if thr pact dosen't work as planned. It all make sense now.

      I heard on TheViper stream then developers anounced then new AI can finally: 1. loor a boar, 2.get closer deers to ts with scout and 3.scout with sheep and scout with scouts for resurces.
      But when I saw what new AI explored with scout... mdems probably he had some other ideas in his mind (new AI troll? :D)
      ps. my idea why new AI is not aggressive - because let lower tier players survive. If he gonna drush with 4-5men at arms,scouts, archers/scirms+spiers, fast castle age knights,crosbows it can be hard for new players aka newbies. BUt in my mind its kinda bad, because your not ready for multiplayer.
      I played aoe2 almoust from beggining and never got 28-35 vil castle age etc.. ofc when i got my tactic( save some resources and slowly boom/save resources while build the walls) if AI rush me early i probably would check in google how to beat AI, would know about build orders etc. I was kinda okay even with 1v7 gold rush map (used ''pause'' sometimes when nessesary)
      pps. sorry for my kinda bad gramm :)

    I wonder how the new AI was implemented. The previous one was just a hardcoded set of rules with very coarse control of the units. Maybe they implemented the CD version AI by taking their modern ai selectively dumbing it down in certain areas to make it more like the hd AI. That would explain it doing some "advanced" tactics like repairing its siege units.

How one make new buildings from an existing style that itself is never fully explained design wise I will never understand. Along with the animations for the destruction. I dont see enough people appreciating the small details and the other half of why this game is so good.

    It was awesome to watch you commentating on what the AI should be doing. I could imagine in 5-10 years time if someone developed an even better AI that also understands voice commands. Then you could have a veteran player direct the overall strategy to an AI that then micro-manages everything for the player. That could be quite interesting to watch. Then it really moves from being a standard RTS game where strategy + APM is king to a purely mental game like chess or go.

    On the first game the DE AI was Bulgarians and it lost really early. Barerly had any units and it got overrun quickly. Lots of idle time.
    On the second game it was Spanish and it looked like the same thing as the first game would happen again but somehow the DE AI prevailed and it managed to get a good enough economy to start pushing back until it won.

    I know you're comparing the two different AIs out of the 3 or so made (between original, HD and this version), but I remember when this game was relatively new the AI would often just like, quit the game within minutes with some message like "All my houses faced east. No wonder thou were't victorious" or if they lost their first like 3 man-at-arms or whatever they made they'd decide they weren't coming back and quit instantly too, unless you put them on regicide so they had the king and felt they couldn't quit unless the king died.
    It's part of why they made an option in 3 to straight up disable the computer's ability to resign, as a compromise between 2's auto resign immediately vs. the first game where you had to *painstakingly* hunt down *every single* villager or building, the AI would run into the woods to hide from you.
    Or you'd roll up and find them just.. sitting there in their starting position. Like at least one was always like that, no matter what. You kind of always had to set the game up for +1 more AI than you actually wanted to face because one was always just going to sit there in the Dark Ages and if you're lucky they'd be chopping wood or digging a berry bush maybe, stockpiling 30 thousand food but not buying a single unit, but that's it.
    So the fact you had AI actually.. doing anything at all makes me think it's not the original version.

    I just watched all of that. I loved the comparison, man! we need a 2v6

    9:50 That was actually a pretty smart move by the Conquerors AI, although I have a little feeling it wasn't their intention to lure their enemy.

    Spirit, can you do a video in which you compare Two-Man Saw vs Crop Rotation? I wonder which is better for your wood eco.

      not sure if you're trolling… but crop rotation is for farms... wich is a food source. how does that affect your wood income in any way other then being able to produce villagers

      @@cherrydragon3120 The less often you need to replant farms the more wood you save. So both allow you to increase your available wood supply.

      @@cherrydragon3120 No it's a wood buff. Because reseeding farms cost wood. With Crop Rotation farms last longer so you safe wood.

      im pretty sure two man saw would still be better unless you have over a 100 farmers in a several hour long game

      @@cherrydragon3120 Not sure if YOU'RE trolling too when you didn't get what the question meant. Yes Crop Rotation technically just buffs farms but since the buff is for capacity instead of farming speed, in practise that means your food just costs less wood to produce. Hence, it's better for your wood economy. The food gain rate stays the same.

    That comment from the devs was a lie yep. It clearly meant 1vs7 and not FFA. The AI is better for sure! But there is still some room to improve of course

    I recall the ai using workers to repair siege weapons in the forgotten empires mod. Considering that was incorporated into the HD edition, it would make sense they might have left the ai mods in.

    4:54 are you kidding me? the ai is 'pushing' a deer towards the town center with the scout. what a flex on human players' ability to micro-manage stuff lol
