It is certainly more difficult now and the new graphics make it a lot of fun to play.

They'll purposefully avoid attacking through walls and lots of towers if you mistakenly leave an unprotected rear or flank that they can use to march right up and destroy your town. hi, you can do this in the create a senario, if you go into the map editor you can give the AI 99.999 of each.

The companion cavalry rode north of the archers cutting off their retreat to the town center and let the infantry cut them down. My winning strategy involved staging 10 companion cavalry to the east and have the infantry attack the town center and then retreat south, drawing the archers out to try to take out the infantry. When I'd turn back, the archers would head back to the town center and shred through them. Lead them through 1000 years of the Middle Ages to riches and greatness. Every time my infantry would retreat, the 20 archers would come out and chase them down. So I was trying to take a large group of spearman up to take over an enemy town center filled with archers but wasn't having a ton of luck.

I'll play as the Ptolemies, because I know that they were the pinnacle of the Greek Phalanx lead by none other than Alexander the Great. I find the AI to be challenging to beat on hard, but not impossible. That worked, I got to smash all the AI’s buildings for the first time.

It gets progressively better from an AI, music, and artwork standpoint.ĠAD is definitely not the same game now as it was years ago, it is massively improved. I really hate the AI resigning in AoE2 DE but after seeing this post and others I changed the victory condition to conquest and taunted the AI with 104.

I simply wait (to upgrade to a new 0ad) with the latest version in each new Fedora release. If you watch their svn history, they consistently are chipping away at it.
