Am hey but how creating basic unit?

in EE2 the ai cheating taught me to balls out always attack and take territories in the first 1 min of the game.

I don't understand if this makes the ai fair only related to the map created or for every map

The problem is that when the AI doesn't cheat, the game is too easy. The AI doesn't know how to play without cheats.

i knew ai had some unfair advantage, but unlimited resources?

Man, I love this game. I had it on a CD when I was a kid, but recently got it on Steam for some good nostalgia vibes. Unfortunately, when I start a quest that uses a very large map (144x144), the game just crashes to desktop at end turn. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?

only drug addicts watch this video ! Love it!

Still play this game, never realized how many hours went into just 1 match.

There is a video for stop the ai cheating in the campaing's? Because the cheater ai i cant pass away from mission 4 of germany campaing

Never finished. :(

I couldn't even move my soldier around on the map..clicked and sod all happened. Janky old interface I guess.

I liked the video but I still feel so overwhelmed and confused haha. I think I need to just enable easy mode and spend a few hours fumbling and just pressing all the buttons on the UI.

Thanks for making this excellent guide!

Hace unos años sospechaba que la IA hacia trampa pero no sabía como arreglarlo. Me frustro tanto que lo deje de jugar por eso mismo. Podría darle una oportunidad ahora mismo

You did win because you destroyed the farms. In my game, they resigned much earlier than me finding all farms. I just wrecked their military buildings, their army and their villagers.

2:39 Is it that AIs will get resource bumps of 100 when they are low on resources?

my name is methos....

The problem is I don't mind the AI cheating to not break. But the idea that they always have the resources to follow up on age progression is a bit much. In one skirmish I did, I managed to capture the middle quite quickly and hold it, meaning that the AI was on limited resources, rather than risk losing everything by attacking, I decided to boom from there but the AI just kept up, produced 3 times the unit count of my advanced units whilst barely having any resource fields.

I'm very glad people still play this game. I just finished my last campaign a few months ago, which was the undead hordes one and was the second easiest campaign I played (the easiest was legion of the damned and the hardest was the mountain clans one). I managed to kill around 3 capital guardians throughout the campaign, because paralysis in this game is just broken.

I love you man. Awsome, I really hate this game bescause of AI, but now i can kick they asses😂

This game is a well made im not a fan of 3 version

but whats the difficulty for the ai then ? you cant change it

I really love this game. My favorite are the undead.

Sir after doing this, the map gets hidden..but i would still like the map to be revealed..what do i do?

How does the AI cheat in this game

When i select Random Map, i press start....the game loads and then BOOM, You are victorious! How can i fix that?

I have a question. Does it matter if the rods are by a resource or not to determine creep spread? Or can I just line up 10 rods in front of my base?

Yeah, i had to play from the scenario editor always 😂 mf AI always infinite resources.

I just completed the tutorial which left me with a bunch of questions, most of which you have answered here. Thanks for the video!

I never knew the AI cheated. I normally play on normal and end up doing pretty well. Or I turn the difficulty to hard, add the max ai’s and watch them all attack each other while I use cheats to defend against all of them.

To everyone wondering about the lock unit option. It's been a mystery for me for years, but finally I see it's usefulness. If you lock a character and it levels up without upgrading, (for instance a lvl 1 squire not turning into a witch hunter at lvl 2). A lvl 2 squire will level up to level 3 faster than a witch hunter will to level 3 I believe, thus by postponing a units upgrade a level or two, by the end of the level a unit will be higher level.

Heroes of Might & Magic, Lord Of Magic, Master of Magic, Age Of Wonders and Spellforce. Please start doing guides in the niche (but beloved) fantasy 4x genere.

I'm think that will break the AI. Also, they are not so difficult and pretty stupid. They are just spamming their hundreds of units to your towers and loosing them. Also sometimes they are just not even building the airplanes and anything, even on medium difficulty.

Do anyone know why my saved games don't show up in saved file

this can work for mp battles?

Iirc you can do the same method to ‘spice up’ campaigns in the same way. But sometimes moving a saved campaign game to the Editor and back might cause issues.

I have never won a fuxken game against AI

Does anyone remember back in 1994 when Lord of the Rings used to be an online text based game like this?

this can actually cause a bug where the AI opponents can't age up or progress in any way or where they can't create nor upgrade to Town/City Centers in the absence of one. They stop gathering resources after a while and kill their own remaining citizens. That's not even touching on their suicidal "mass exodus" problems in large maps where they send all their citizens over to the other side of the map at the beginning of a game to gather over there without even building a settlement. And you don't need to exit the game to do this. just load a random, multiplayer or campain map and save it. Go back to menu. Immediately test run a basic scen edit. Load the saved game and save it again through test run. close the test run and load the new save in editor and edit as you like

If I remember correctly you don't need to close the game after you saved the random map, you can just go in scenario, and load it there, and then save it as a scenario. I don't remember if it shows all the stats at the end using this way tho. But, i remember, you can even cheat on campaigns using this method

it works now its definetely Fairplay without cheating Computer:)

One thing you forget to mention about army is that initiating combat will consume half of the attacker's maximum movement point. Like if the attacker has 20 movement point per turn, take 3 flags on regular terrain and then fight, then it'll have 20 - 6 - 10 = 4 movement points left after the combat. So even in the best case scenario, one army can only attack twice per turn, barring other modifiers like spells that restore movement points. This can be abused to delay the enemy's attacks, like the 3rd and final level of Empire Saga in vanilla Disciples 2 where the enemy will move to attack one objective that you must defend. If you killed all their escorting armies, you'll only need two thieves and/or summons at the choke point to completely halt their advance as they will spend all their movement points on said thieves/summons and waste the entire turn. Rinse and repeat while your main army runs around the map gathering gears and levels until you think you're ready to beat them. Speaking of thieves and overworld spells; Thieves' poison ability and damage spells are probably the most powerful asset in army vs army fights. But the trick is that *you must poison the enemy first before firing the spells at them* as the damage from Thieves' poison army/city is a percentage of enemy unit's maximum health at around 20% per successful poison, but the catch is Thieves' poison can only reduce the enemy's health down to around 50 - 45% of their maximum health, after which this ability won't do anything anymore. Hence the reason why you should poison enemy army first before firing damage spells at them - for maximum effect. And on that note, Capital Guardians are immune to thieve' poison, so don't waste it on the capital unless they're accompanied by other flunkies, which are not immune to it.

I only play on the easy difficulty, the AI still cheats, but they are kind of less agressive.

Why would you want to do that?

Great! Thank you.

I tried that and my AI oponent had no citizens any more after a few hours in a gigantic world. I did only some defence against a few of his attaks, no realy big attak at that time. So it seeems to me, that cheating for the AI is essential to survive. I use the scenario editor the same way, as it was presentes here to change the oponent and to change the limit of units. This works quite well for me.

its not possible to reveal map with the fog like this. or am i stupid?

More gameplays please. Learnt so much :D
