Is there full FOW for the OPFOR(AI)?

Post by MarkShot »

I was reading the other day, and thought I saw that the computer OPFOR knows what hexes contain units, but not what they are. Did I misunderstand something or is that how it is?

Thanks.

no it plays by the rules as set. One trick to playing the AI is to try not to commit too obviously and it may well then prioritise a sector where your front line formations appear to be stronger

Has this changed since WITW? Since page 109, "Note that computer players are not affected by fow, however, the AI does have the same Dl restrictions as human players." And it reads the same in the living manual.

What would happen if you play the AI and do disable FOW for it?

I ask, because in some game systems varying FOW/DL for the AI is a difficulty level option. Since the more knowledge it has, the better it may respond. Most AGEOD games pre-Paradox/Slitherine worked like this being one of a number of difficulty settings.

Thanks.
