supreme commander fa ai problem!

SameSuspect · 2 Dec 2007 at 12:57

i love this game, but feel as theirs something wrong with the ai. when playing An offline skirmish, 3 hours into a game with aiX rush (which i thinks the hardest setting??).. this is all the defence the ai had....

4 xps!?? i remember playing a game of supreme commander and they had like 20/50 xps

This game i had air units off, navy off, long range artillary off and nukes off, hoping they would build a fck load of xps, which for some reason isnt the case!! just a stupid ammount of tech3 gens, does this seem a bit dodgy to anyone else?

The AI is suited to different maps, in other words its likely just the map it cant handle it. The AI in FA is much harder than Vanilla.

i've been having fun with this game also , but tbh didn't see the need for another game (patches would have been better imo)

when ever i played supcom, the ai seamed retarded, when i set it to hardest it just built **** loads of units but never attacked with more than 2 or 3 when i finally went to its base it had hundreds of tier 3 units just sitting there. letf it over night and it just built more while i started shelling it in the morning :/

Sort of lost interest in the game after that.

oohh yeah i see

only probs is i dont like playing on maps any bigger than 10x10 because it just slows performance right down!!! Im hoping one of them new quadcores coming out early 2008 with some ddr3 ram might help out a bit

yeah it can be 'odd' at times. the best ai i had on the original game was sorians rush Ai. for the most part they gave you a run for your money. hopefully there will be community ai's out for this.

Seriously? I can play the biggest maps on my system (in sig) with max settings and even 2xAA and it's fine. Sure, it can get slow when there are a crazy number of units, but nothing unplayable. Is everything else playing OK?

Play tech AI, that’s harder. I’ve even been nuked by the AI on that setting!

yes its still playable, but i am VERY picky with smoothness. and i like to increase the speed to max 10, which doesnt happen on a big map after 2 hours in-gameplay
