Bad/buggy AI in entrenchment ? With Sreenshot

from Sins Forums

Hi, since i play entrechment i have no challenge with the AI anymore.

 

I can play against 4 AIs and still the dont want to fight... i only can see that the ai is building heavy defence around their planets, but the dont come with much ships to defend and they dont attack with much ships.

I play with random hard ai. Maybe the randomizer is broken and so its everytime the DefenceAI, but still the AI does very strange things.

 

look at his just jumped in, awesome defencescoutfleet as he tries to defend his system...

 

This fleet is all i have after 3 hours, i killed the first AI with only 3 capitalships and 8 carriers after an hour or so...

 

Its much tooo easy since entrechment... Somthing is broken i think.

 

i have locked teams in this game. I have one AI friend, one enemy with 3 members and one with 5 members. I Think that the lightblue player should get some help from his 4 remaining players. I had never see ganged fleets in this game...

Hmm... never saw this, I've played maybe 5 games so far in beta and haven't seen anything like this.  I always play Hard random AI too, but I've only ever found the AI to be as good if not better than before.  They attack me where I'm weakest, they hit me where it'll hurt and then run when I get there, they build starbases and everything.

I Agree with Tessian on reguelr SINS i used to play unfair AIs all the time but with entrenchment i had to drop them to hard because their nasty and hard.

The AI seems to recognise choke points and i saw them heavyly build up these points and defend them. I also noticed whent he AI had a choke point leading to his homeworld that that would be the location of his first startbase.

The AI still needs to build better mixes of fleets, and build more regenerative defensive stuctures and recognise that he needs to fight in range of those building for him to get and advantage out fo them. In stead of comming to were i am out side the helpfull range of his defences.

But overall the AI improved greatly.

I've *kinda of* seen this once myself. They have about 70 scouts in one of their fleets, but they also have all the usual stuff in it as well. Its a pretty well rounded fleet, with the exception of the 70 scouts:grin:

I agree that the AI got harder with Entrenchment.

Yeah, AI likes to spam scouts now it seems. lol

Lol, funny.  I did notice four scouts in the samve grav well once.  I found that odd... I usually do normal since I suck and they don't even attack me, even on Agressor...

I just finished a game vs a hard random TEK AI and it had to be one of the smartest AI battles yet.

When I started dominating militarily, the AI started to build multiple broadcast towers in his remaining planets.  I didn't even notice this until I got a warning that one of my border worlds was about to revolt.  Not only that, but the AI liked to use repair ships too.  Its fleets mostly consisted of heavy cruisers, repair bots, carriers, and light frigates.  Even threw in a few command ships it seemed.

I noticed this once too. They were trying to attack a grav well loaded with mines. Only, they didn't attack the mines...they went straight for the starbase at the other end of the mine field. LoL.
