Rogue15 Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I played as trade federation against computer... Just upgrade AATs and Destroyer Droids, i beat 3 computer opponents that way. Even though they had air support, the mechs and droidekas take out buildings pretty fast. I had 15 of each. The Naboo were smart tho...they built a bunch of different bases instead of in just one area, that's what i usually do...but what's up with all the stupid power cores?!!? that carbon would be better off used elsewhere...

Chessack Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 The computer definitely builds too many power cores. A few redundant ones in the heart of your village are one thing... having them every 5 or 6 map squares like weeds out in no-man's land is something else. I'm not sure why it does that, but the AI could definitely use a tweak in that direction, come expansion pack time, to get it to stop doing this.

Rogue15 Posted March 19, 2002 Author Share Posted March 19, 2002 I think it does serve a purpose tho....I remember that one game i played vs. the gungans and they built all across the top of the map, i guess the power cores are something they put down first before they put down anymore buildings...pretty lame to overestimate their time on the battleground before being wiped out!

Gaming Nut Posted March 20, 2002 Share Posted March 20, 2002 Yeah most of the time they will build around those power cores given time adn ahving them their is not a bad idea if you have as much carbon as you need which they do. What I hate is the dumbass building 150 units and putting them in circle around the fortress it only seems to do it in DM but it's so dumb and annoying.

Artorius Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 They'd be better off building anything else. The power core by itself doesn't do anything. A troop center, even an unpowered one, causes a little havoc and I think costs less. And why does it build so many command centers right next to each other? If they used them for defensive purposes that would be one thing, but they don't really. If they just put those extra builders to work they'd be more effective. Speaking of which, does anyone else occasionally come across a computer player that is doing absolutely nothing? Sometimes in a 5 or 6 player game I find one of the computer players will just stop. All of its workers will be found standing still, it hasn't built anything beyond tech 1 or 2 or advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chessack Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 That used to happen in AoE 1, but I've never seen it in AoK or in GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_HaZeKniGhT Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 Yea, everyone knows that DDs FU(fully upgraded) can't wipe out multiple players. Its a very cheap strat and I hope the LA fixes this flaw in the X-Pac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadDoofer Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I palyed a GB 5 player map on moderate and the cyan colored computer never got past Tech level 1! All he had were a few carbon gatherers and 4 trooper recruits. I hope they fic this in the x-pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Warlord Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 Yeah right! Jedi are not and upgrades in Tech four are not. Kiss my wookie! I always wanted to say that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artorius Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 That's funny because whenever I play against TF it builds dozens of Command Centers. They take the place of 3 or 4 houses, so you'd think it would work out. TF builds houses in the Gungan Campaign. I don't know if it needs them but they're there. Come to think of it, maybe it starts with the houses. For a challenge try Deathmatch against the Trade Fed. The computer has enough food to build as many workers as it wants, doesn't have to fuss about with houses, and has ore to build five or more shielded fortresses right on top of your base. Luckily it doesn't, deciding instead to erect power cores all over the map so you can still win! I gotta start playing humans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
