Posts from About AI – the intelligence of the computer.

The AI in Heroes of Might and Magic V doesn't seem to be very smart; in fact, it often gets stuck in simple situations (e.g., there's a lumber mill with a small garrison nearby, but it runs off in an unknown direction, or it doesn't upgrade the castle but instead hires a dozen heroes). Do you think the AI needs to be improved? :smile13:

The computer's AI doesn't just need an upgrade; it needs to be set straight first! The way it handles battle is just a joke... It has 50 Archmages in the army, but it uses them to cast some weakening crap on Druids... And the hero, who could have hit me hard with a fireball, casts some slow spell on dragons, who—to put it mildly—couldn't care less...

The AI in Heroes of Might and Magic V doesn't require exceptional processing power, but it often struggles and freezes in seemingly simple situations (e.g., a sawmill with a small garrison nearby, yet the AI sends units off in random directions, or fails to upgrade a castle, instead hiring a dozen heroes). Do you think the AI needs an upgrade?:smile13:

If you set the difficulty to "Hero," the AI will become smarter.
Otherwise, its AI definitely needs improvement.

In my opinion, it becomes more numerous, but not necessarily better in quality...

I've noticed that the computer never seems to run out of resources... and that's true. And also in the number of heroes. But it's better to have one hero, level 30, than five, but level 5. Which is usually the case with the computer.
It doesn't know how to use spells.
It doesn't even know about the special abilities of creatures, for example, the griffin's celestial strike...

You say Strike from the Heavens is unknown? When I first launched Heroes V and tried to play the "Falcon's Last Flight" mission, I experienced firsthand WHAT a strike from the heavens is... :( By the way, the AI also has gold troubles sometimes—it can't always manage to buy back all its creatures, which occasionally makes the task significantly easier. And five level 5 heroes also have their own advantages over your single level 30 one—I realized this back in Heroes III... While you are hunting one at one end of the map, a second is capturing a castle in another, and a third in yet another. And then you're running all over the map reclaiming cities. And while you're running around, the first five will level up to about 20, which isn't bad either, and ten new ones at level 5 will appear. And together they'll just swarm your single level 30 hero. In the end, the AI beats you not with quality, but with quantity.

And who said that he even considers me?:)

I meant a generalized scenario of how events unfold. By "you" here, I meant not you specifically, but an abstract player.

Personally, my computer has never caused any major problems. :) Although... there was one instance. But it missed badly. No one was even close. :rolleyes: And by resources, I meant not just gold. Secondary resources are always at a normal level. Regardless of the situation. :rolleyes: Well, and... quality always triumphs over quantity. Always. :) After all, there are things like teleport, boots, logistics, a portal to the castle... and even in a normal hero's cities, there are always units. ;)

I personally enjoy gathering units from different towns with my main hero using the "Summon Creatures" spell, constantly replenishing my army. As a result, even a level 5 hero with a decent army can capture a town with a 1-2 week growth rate without much trouble. And then you have to run around and recapture it... :( Also, the portal in town in Heroes 5 teleports you only to the nearest town, which often works against you... And if the map is large, no boots will help you that much... And leveling up logistics for Warlocks is just absurd...

By the way, when griffins attacked me from the sky, they hit my precious succubi right in the head :smile05:

Replenishing your main army weakens your castles. That's not good! You need to find a balance!

I know it's not ideal! But the hero's army also weakens during battles! And I haven't yet found the perfect balance.

At level 20, you won't need an army for the castle anymore, as there's a "portal to the city." And the AI can play, even if not very well, but it can. By the way, girls – maybe we can play sometime soon? :smile08:

At level 20, you won't need an army for the Castle anymore, as there's the "gate to the city." And the computer can play, even if not very well, but it can. By the way, girls – maybe we can play sometime soon? :smile08:

Or maybe you won't embarrass yourself and just stick to completing the first mission of the first campaign on the "which buttons do I need to press" difficulty level. :)

I don't know... I didn't have the option to choose a castle for teleportation even at level 30. Does it even exist in the fifth game, or not?

Regarding playing – it's quite possible – just let me deal with the entrance exams... And also practice a bit more and fully explore all the possibilities of HMM 5... And then we can play:smile13:
