AI "cheats" ?

Post by Champagne »

The AI in some computer games cheats in that it has an advantage in order to be able to compete with the human player.

Does the AI in this game have any extra advantage like that?

It sounds like the AI doesn't play with the FOW (fog of war); it can see everything on the map at all times. The manual isn't entirely clear on this, however, so I may be wrong.

I believe that you are correct on this.

I wonder whether there are any other AI advantages.

The AI is given extra leader to garrison it's rear areas. That's the main cheat that I can remember.

Thanks, Joel.

As long as the extra leaders are Butler and Floyd clones, this seems harmless !
