Worst AI ever | Forums

[GreaterAsia]

not sure if anyone found yourself in situation like mine.

I played a battle 3 vs 3 on hard, only me is human, all other are AI. As normal I build up my forces and go however, the opposing AI massing their arty and keep pounding my rally point so I have no choice but to race and crush those arty fast. As I raced, the rest of opposing AI came to reinforce that AI so I found myself facing superior forces 3:1 however, I have 2 AIs on my side supposed to be my allies. They have massive army (all prototype [mobile AA + superheavy tank) but they did nothing other than massing their army at the river even though the opposing bases are now defenceless because they are battling me. I am facing the odds, I am trying my best to repel the aggressors, then all the opposing AI pushed my forces back to my bases, on the left side, I am facing Advanced Heavy Tanks, superheavy tanks, on the right side, assault guns keep pounding my administrative buildings and infantry infiltrated my bases through forest. Still my other AI allies would just rather to massing their armies at their bases (even though it is massive and strong armies) instead sending their forces to rescue me. There is nothing I can do, I have worst allies in my history of commanding armies in ruse.

At another occasion, I played 2vs 2 Hard, again only me is human, This time, I had a dumb AI ally, it using assault guns to fend of tanks heavy tanks (result already obvious isnt) so I have to race my flak88 and constant dropping paras to rescue that dumb AI. luckily, this time, opposing tanks keep being ambushed by my paras so the Opposing AIs had to give up. Later on this dumb AI send army to help me crush enemies even though most of the time, I have to race my forces east to reinforce this dumb AI and race back to the west to fend off assault forces heading to my bases.

I try to never play against or with AI's because indeed they are not the best

It is really easy to win from the AI, because it will always do the same thing, and if not, it is a stupid move. It's not even very hard to beat the AI when fully outnumbered (1 vs. 3 or 4).

Sometimes you are really stuck with an AI that is doing the most stupid things (Personnaly I am annoyed the most by an AI sending his planes straight into enemy AA over and over again). The best you can do is place a sec HQ next to their base. This way you play like you would in 1 vs 2 (or more), but instead you get a little dumb back up. It is also very stupid to see a nation build the absolute wrong units (Like France spamming guppies).

Anyway, whatever you allied AI is doing, it is (nearly) always possible to defeat the enemy. The best way is to set up an ambush and snipe their recon with planes. The AI is actually dumb enough to continue his assoult and get all his units killed.

The only times I lose a game is on treason. Because of the sepperated 'islands' you might not be in time to rush some of your units, so you lose the allied bases.

hi, senior, could you give this junior a few tips? what is the best way to deal with outnumbered battles? In most battle, the opposing AI is clever enough to use recon to spot my hidden units, and by using air asault to take out enemy recon is extremely risky if not to say impossible. Most of the battles I played, AI always hide its recon behind enemy main force and it is well protected with massive air wings and mobile AA. So most of the time, I wouldnt send my stukas to take out those it seem a suicide missions to me. Usually I send my main forces to hunt recon units, the AI respond with its main forces then I used puma to hunt for its recon and as I mention, AI always has massive air wings, every time I sent my main forces in, its fighter-bomber bombing my forces as if they are in competition. what do you think about arty? enemy arty and assaut guns always annoyed the hell out of me. And I hate the most is Calliope, it fire rate almost like non-stop.

Well, I can't just give you general tips, because it will depend fully on the situation.

It depends on:
-the game period (1939, 1942, 1945, total war).
-game time (beginning game, mid-game, late-game).
-Number of players
-enemy nations
-Allied nations
-your nation

As I don't have a clear example, I cannot give you any exact advice. The only thing I can say is trying to use tactics a computer can't guess. A computer can only calculate obvious things.
About the things you have written so far, I understand that you let the game progress quite a time (It sounds like a ver late-game situation). When playing against the AI, I try to punch trough their lines as fast as possible and then winning shouldn't be a problem.

Can you give me any replays? I could also upload some if you want?
I have a few RUSE videos on my channel by the way.

You can also add me on steam. Then we could play against the AI together and then I might be able to help you.

I never saved replay before so..........
so far I can knock out an AI in 3V3 or 4V4 battle only within the first 10 mins. 2V2 is a bit hard for me.
For some reason, whenever I click on play multiplayer, it just kick me out to the window and then I click again to reenter and it say the application has already been running. Most of the time, I have to reboot my PC.

I mentioned replays so I could get a look on your play style. Anyway,you can add me if you want, or you can give me your steam name.
My name is given in the signature below.

I think you picked the turtle mode for you AI's.

[mau.kort.alt]

In that case they would just spam bunkers... It will be even easier to crush them then (with paradrops as an exception, they will fail almost any time against turtle)
