New actions of AI. While the first link shows a horrible decision made by AI, the second links showed improved AI decision-making.
The below-mentioned instances happened quite early in the game, so you can skip the rest of the battle once you see what I'm describing.
Druids deciding to shoot me (for less damage) instead of casting the lightning spell on my shrews or liz stack.

Cave demons casting disrupton ray before gating, and wolfhounds choosing my minos stack over a good-sized stack of liz.

Cave demons casting disrupton ray before gating
I dont know how it was half year ago (Im not playing this game too long:), but they cast disruption first in all demons caravans I had. |
cave demons use to use fireball instead of disruption ray almost all the time
thats why they were so deadly in hunts in large stacks back then |
cave demons use to use fireball instead of disruption ray almost all the time
For me they still do, if the defense of the hunter is low or there are not creatures in the army with high enough base defense. |
don't know if i can "use" this thread but i have seen a strange thing in a caravan of mine...

it's just at beginning, giant doesn't move to hit spawns and wait oO... i know kill 2 spawns isn't that great move but it's first time ai wait when it's still able to hit something... |
| u can avoid cave demons fireball by spreading ur troops and they will cast disruption for sure. |
| the AI system has been improved a lot compared to before, especially in ambush. the enemy will attack hydra from proper direction to avoid the other stacks being attacked, and the magic troops such as druid would use shoot rather than lighting spell when shoot can deal more damage. thus we need more tactic to beat the smarter enemies. :) |
The druids are going to be hand to hand soon. They should all shoot so they have more lightning attacks to use later. The one exception being the one who actually did shoot as he was out of range.
So many people erroneously use the lightning first for a relatively small increase in damage, when they should shoot early and save the lightning for when they are in hand to hand.
I also think he should have summoned when he had 11 Cave Demons, not when he finally did with 2. Casting ray of disruption. Bad move. |
