TOAWIII vs. HPS Pzr Campaigns AI??

Post by Longstreet_slith »

Of course, another very important comparison for us solo gamers is the strength of the AI. From everything I have read here, the new, beefed-up AI of TOAWIII is great, particularly on the offensive.

SO...the next million dollar question....how do the AI's of the two games -- TOAWIII and HPS Panzer Campaigns series compare?

I think both games are best when played against a human opponent.  It's more fun, anyhow.

Though if you still insist on having a comparison,from the threads i have read the AI in Panzer Campaign series is rather inept when put side by side to human intelligence.
TOAW3 scores much better in this respect,especially after the AI revamp by the development team,though i found that it is excellent in some scenarios but less impressive in others. For TOAW3 just dont expect the AI to play historically.

The ability to give a series of objectives to the AI's units in TOAW is a big advance over the PzC AI, which is somewhat generic.  It all depends on whether the scenario designer makes good use of those objectives.
