Human player is easy to spot. It's the dark barb cheater who defends all along and is never attacked. No need for fireballs. |
Gotta also work out who is the other player
Only players have turn timer, right?
I mean AI would play instantly (I'm only guessing this is right) |
Yep that's what you should do but then you get players that find out you are the other "real one" and kill you first. Kinda makes it dumb |
As I recall the ai does not play instantly to make it harder to spot. Can make the battles long, which is frustrating when you know who each other is anyway. I cannot remember if it was a feature, or just something that was suggested (I think the latter), where you have one chance to pick an enemy and say they are human. If both of you choose correctly then it would cancel the ai timer delay. |
for General Zod:
Last time I played blindflood AI had timers and they did things I would expect from player only. |
I do like the idea of the fireball. Or just move some characters in a circle. Or if you know the ai doesnt move have ranged start outside then move them inside your troops after. Things like that would make it easier I think |
Just played one.
Its really hard to spot Non-AI.
The AI plays exactly as any real player would, need some kind of a code or signal to show the other real player. Teaming up would be necessary to come 1st or 2nd.
I cam third in my last battle cause the last 2 standing AI were part of the same team, so got ganged up lol.
Can we work on a signal that helps us recognize our team mate ? |
I usualy cast some spell. |
Well you want to be first and second. I played one and we got first and third. I realized who was human but he did not and ended up killing me instead of computer in the end |
Also do your best educate the people you play the event with in case they don't understand the point. My last partner thought everyone was human. Once you explain the point of the event and some ways they can help identify other players the better the event goes for the humans in the end |

Won my first battle :D |
Common options for giving away your noob ai identity. Do AV very stupid move with a split and therefore expendable stack, mostly however using sine firm of activated ability and magic is the best bet
Suggestions
Dwarf- use rune of magical resistance on a split attack of beserkers as your first move
Elf- spike the floor with hero of druid
Wizard- cast with genie on low priority stack or fireball the floor
Knight - cast with clerics on a low priority stack, or wscort%fervour a strange stack
Demon- fireball floor with caves or, not sure with them
Tribals- delay something unusual
Necro- not sure for them
Barb - no obvious choice outside unusual cast of orc shaman
Dark elf - spike the floor for classic, tamer may be from cast of witches
Is there a way of working out if ai from anti resistance? On a hero attack the damage range is reduced by anti faction skill. I believe all ai will have the same but human will be variable. So can use the damage range predictor to see who is different. All extra info to help at any rate. |
for _evil_007:
Did you just got 0fsp? |

Instead of wasting resources, just wait with hero for first turn, AI shouldn't do that |
79k exp for 1st position... wtf is this shit |
Anyone know from experience what is better in this format, holy classic might wiz or chaos? Holy wiz has a conservative start, which makes it ok to not start attacking and buff up until the AI are attacking each other.
Not sure how the AI focuses on chaos wiz (been pretty much just been battlewise for a long time now and avoided classic)
Any suggestions?
For Stupey, I agree, however sometimes there is an advantage to making it clear who you are as early as possible, |
