Dark-Samurai 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2011 Hello, first up sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I couldn't find a place where I felt this had to be in. So I'll get to the point, I just downloaded BK 2 and it plays very well, the thing I'm Confused about is the Skirmish AI, is it in 3.01 ? I searched the web, and I found some 3rd party AI for the game, but then comments below it say it don't work, and most of the forum post here date back to 2003, so I'm not sure whats happen so far about AI so if any help out there could find me, be a pleased panda. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not easily but eventually, that shouldn't be possible. The Allies arne't much better. Only the Soviet AI is good, two hard soviet AIs will defeat me after about 2 hours of fighting and only kill 1 of my units for every 4 they lose. The Soviets even occasionally use aircraft, something the other two sides don't do. Out of interest, where did you get this third party AI? I'm bored of the defealt crappy AI. EDIT: Having done some reading, poor AI is apparently the fault of the maps in this game. I haven't played all of the maps and maybe some are better than others.

The old blitzmaps will be replaced largely in the new patch. But the ai won't be much better. It's not very compatible with large maps or blitz tactics. However, a number of singleplayer maps and coop maps will have pre-programmed ai's that will kick your ass. Don't worry :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
