Outrageous 1.4 AI must be fixed!

from Sins Forums

So, I play my first game vs the AI and the 1.4 patch.  I'm playing along, as usual, watching TV and scratching myself, when all of a sudden, the AI attacks me?!?!  What the heck!  What kind of bug is that!  How did it slip past the programmers???  Then, I rush my main fleet to that system (just for appearancens mind you, as it will just run away the moument I warp in).  But, it did'nt run??? It fought me??!!  This is the WORST glitch I've ever seen the Sins Devs do yet.  So NOW, I have to fight the AI.  What a pain.  I mean, come on!  How am I suppose to win with the AI doing things like attacking and not running???  So I'm doing an ok job beating the invading fleet, waiting for it to run, but NOOOOO, the Devs just HAVE to make things worse for us solo players, and in comes reinforcements to the invading fleet.  Ohhh Great! Now I have to turn off my TV, and let those itches go unscratched, and start actually trying  :(   I build reinforcements, warp them into the invaded planet, THERE, now maybe I can watch more TV (and have time to scratch those extra hard to reach itches).  But NO!  The AI starts attacking from the opposite end of the system!  I build reinforcements to send to the other end of the system, when I notice that a planet in the middle of my system is about to be overthrown by culture???!!!  Now, I can't even relax while I'm playing, I have to start paying attention.  What a total buzz kill!

So, thanks to the horrible and slip-shot laziness of the programmers of 1.4, I finally had to surrender, losing vauable TV and scratching time just so I can win a game vs the AI.   It's obvious the AI is WAY overpowered, and needs an imediate Nerf!!!

Nerf the AI!  The AI is OP!  Everyone double post till this outrage is corrected!

The AI actually does seem a lot better now.. In a 3vs3 an ally dropped and AI took over, and me and my ally where completely perplexed that the AI was actually doing rather well.

Is this supposed to be joke? Alright, I get it.

So the AI will fight you, and punish you for not paying attention. I would do that myself if I was fighting you. This only means a bigger chanlenge for us solo players.

I think its fantastic!

Yeah the AI is improved again, woot. Trouble is now I cant finish games because of mini dumps. ****

It actually forced me to think and unfortunately I found an incredible fleet killing manouver the Advent can do. Now anything short of heavy cruisers dye in less than 30 seconds, no AI is going to beat that lol.

Hehe nice post.
It's worth mentioning though, Sins has probably the best homegrown AI of any RTS I have ever played. Can't think of any RTS where I felt the AI put up a challenge like this without cheating.

Yeah that's the best part. I'm only putting the AI on "Hard" so far but I really like the way it plays; it actually seems intuitive most of the time, whether it's an enemy or ally.

I like it a lot. Great job devs!!

Yea, usualy, you have to give them huge cash bonuses, faster tec development and building times and the whole lot more for them to be any challenge at all to a good player. :P
Insane on Starcraft was pretty tough though...

Playing vs 9 on hard, I had a map setup where expansion was difficult so I entrenched in my own little corner... uh, a little too long.

THREE CLUSTERS OF non-mutually-agressive AI attacked my gateway planet, coming in within 30 seconds of each other. I got steamrolled by four capital ships to my two.

So, yeah, the AI GOT MEAN. :D

Yes, great post PurplePaladin. This is rocking A.I. in a rocking game, thanks to the devs for 1.4

But I still haven't found...The Planet of Sound!!(I recommend Pixies on volume ridiculous for playing this game.)

I understand what your going through. Playing sins and CoD4 while huffing oreos has become a bit of a challenge now.

OKAY. 1.1 hasn't even come out yet, and you're already complaining about 1.4?
What universe are you in?? Unless you meant 1.04...idiot ^^

@CommanderAdama -

For those uncertain, yes, it was a sarcastic compliment to the Devs (I never imagined people would actually think it was serious). And no, of course it's not the best parady written; if I could write better parady, I'd be writting for Konan or Jay, not a forum  ;)
