Do you notice that insane AI only spawn specific kinds of units? I will list them below

Okay, exclude miners here =.= ....
Upper spawns the most
Under spawns the less

Order:
1. Swordwarth
2. archidons
3. merics
4. magikills
5. albowtross

So, they lack of speartons (meat shield), ninjas (for assassination) , giants, which seriously affect their army strength
(one baby giant for deathmatch, then no more...)


Chaos:
1. juggerknight
2. deads
3. crawlers
4. marrowkai
5. wingtons

So they lack of bombers (they are very important to pwn me, yk), Medusa (queen of the chaos is too lazy???), giants, this makes chaos really sucked...
(one baby giant for deathmatch, then no more...)


Also, do you notice that they also target your units at the most front? They NEVER target your backup units, but in human battles, magikills always be targeted, right? So this behavior makes those CPU sucks

Apart from that, order merics wouldn't cure... and both order and chaos didn't garrison


My suggestions are adding random spawning choices and smarter targeting system

1. Randomized spawning
CPU has a few sets of units

Below stuffs is for reference
Set 1:
1. ninjas (they always hit magikills first)
2. albowtross
3. giants

Set 2:
1. speartons (able to shield mode)
2. archidons
3. merics

Set 3:
1. speartons
2. magikills
3. giants

for chaos, you think :P


2. smarter targeting system
The player's important units have the "priority" to be KOed
e.g. magikills, merics, ninjas, albowtross, marrowkais, medusas, etc

Any comments?

Not really, Buddy will build a wall to protect his super magikills, like he did when he is battling me

Why? Spamming swordwraths+archidons with merics is dangerous, they can crash your statue even if you have one castle archer...

Seriously, ever played stick war 2? Absolutely no micro. They can't target, so shadowraths are useless.

Hey guys!

The current AI for the computer opponents is quite basic and is the same as the AI used for the campaign. However the basic framework is there and I could add a lot to them if people are playing against the computer enough.

Things like targeting are not in right now but I could add these things. Note it may make the AI impossible to beat :p You are also right in saying that the AI doesn't build the most optimal units right now. Perhaps I will give
that an update soon.

Note you will not see these changes for a while as our main priorities are
- Getting up the Deathmatch ranked mode and new leaderboard for this mode
- Dealing with laggy users such that they either time out or are put into their own laggy ranked queues so people with fast computers don't have to play against them
- Adding Guilds
