Hm just like me in these weeks. I have no time for MP, but I play with the singleplayer, regardless that the AI is poor.
Until the AI is improved, just play against allied AIs, it is a good challenge, but don't drop the game, have faith in the devs.

We should not have near that many votes for #4...

Can you take all the votes from the same IP out???

Proteus appears to have gone and made some 35 accounts, I guess all of them have voted for the two bottom alternatives, so if we assume no one else pulled a similar stunt, approximately 3/4 of the people responding to the poll think the AI is good, for whatever that is worth.

35 accounts?! -------..
Are you sure that he voted at all, or that he voted for the bottem 2?
I will ask him tomorrow anyways, I cannot talk with him right now.

Limited Wish, in the sense that you can wish for it, but it doesn't actually happen?

Well I wouldn't take the word of whiners that the AI is poor. It can still keep me at bay after many months playing Doms I and II, and has beaten me or given me a very tough fight much more often than I have beaten it, when there are multiple AI's in the game and some or all of them have bonuses.

I've had first-rate, challenging and interesting games against the AI - as fun and interesting as I've had from any game.

Maybe it means that he gets to wish for things without me giving him a hard time.

Poll results so far:


The SP AI is some of the best I have ever seen in A PC game 1% (1)
The AI is good and the SP game is very fun to play 46% (34)
The AI is not very good and I dont play much SP because of it 26% (19)
This game has taken the "I" out of AI.... 27% (20)

Well, this result is not a surprise.

I'm sure only newbies like me (I can only consistently beat Easy AI with easy races, still trying to overcome easy Ulm, Jotunheim, Arcosephale, Pythium, Machaka, Ermor, and the more outlandish races in Caelum, Atlantis and R'lyeh on easy) voted for the SP is enjoyable one.

Yup I think so too.
Still this isnt a real problem. I am pretty sure that if these AI problems will be fixed, even an experienced player will have hard time to beat the AI.

Its interesting. Actually Im kindof surprised at the results. But whichever way it turns out we need to think of it as a poll "for entertainment only". The devs wills see the numbers best if no one intereprets them for them. They are interested.

Yup I agree, but polls are the best way to show the problems, our feelings etc. for the developers!
I wanted to make an exact poll like this one, but kuroth was faster!!

I was a bit bored, so I had fun with creating accounts, sorry.
I never hacked the vote, I don't know what are you talkin' 'bout.

Hm, and I am not on Dial Up, this is a 1.5mbit DSL line...
