Here's the situation. I decidice that the PK's are getting really annoying. So I attack them. To surprise, he had atleast 5 artillery in the first three cities I attacked. It took half an hour to conquer just two of the cities. There has to be something done about his crazy "AI". |

Something done like getting a little smarter? Easy tricks to deal with AI artillery: 1. They usually target the nearest troop concentration, move your stack one stop back. 2. Use obsolete rovers and speeder to take out the artillery. 3. Attack with jets first, you will find out behind that artillery screen there is nothing. The stack moves in for the kill. OR 1. Faint a retreat thru open ground to lure those batteries out in open, hit them with jets in the open. BTW, I actually find the AI stupid in the uses of artillery. They rarely have a attacking wolf pact in the back to take advantage of the bombardment. I am currently on thinker level, maybe transcant will be different. George |
