What is wrong with the AI?

@Uncle Yee,

Good post! I generally prefer to play sp too. But then again I'm not complaining about the AI or asking others to mod the AI (which I don't think is really possible anyway).

The only type of multiplayer I play is two-player by email. That would alleviate most of your mp concerns and give you a less predictable opponent. The main problem with this is the slow pace of games, which doesn't really bother me. I can play in single player mode while I'm waiting for turns to fill up my dom3 desires. I can even play the same races and setup in SP to try out strategies.

The AI improvement I'd like to see is in the area of battle resolution, both in terms of the AI overruling scripts and in troops doing something very stupid, like leader launching a suicide assault or casting a completely useless spell.

The problem with pbem is the speed which makes it hard to test out a variety of plans/nations.

This is wandering off of topic and getting dangerously close to being personal to the parties involved. I do not feel that the INTENDED meaning of the thread is a bad one even if it was badly worded. So I do not wish to lock this lively discussion.

Lets go back to providing questions and answers please.
