In my second game it send single heroes and even it's faction leader without any support to destroy one of my resources or two instead of using outdated troops (like militia) or spezialised fast troops like scouts and cavalry to harass me properly.
- One big issue is the stack quality. AI stacks are far inferior to mine in terms of troop quality. Their armies are often composed of outdated troops together with some better units and no leaders, which are busy running around solo.
- Despite being in their territory the AI never used a strategic spell against me.
Ya, its annoying that I can easily build an unstoppable empire. It not worth bumping the difficulty past hard either becuause then you just get the same weak troops but with weird traits like strength x3.
The problem is the AI never gets the specialized and powerful mages or uses strategic spells. When you look at a AI mages traits its a weird mishmash.
AI really needs smarter mana use, (or even some invisible mana bonus). Their targeting for spells could use work too. Ive had AI hit the only troop in my army with fire resistance with repetitive fire magic and the pyre of man threw a fireball at a single wisp, only taking away half its health.
I think we will see a less random diplomacy system in the next patch, as bugs have been identified.
