SP Home Rules

[thejeff]

My general feeling is that the AI is exploitable even on impossible.

It can't deal with SCs or uber-bless troops. Using an SC nation, a good SC pretender, or a bless rush I'll slaughter the AI.
If I try to rely on regular troops and mages, especially on a crowded map, I wind up in the same situation: Getting swamped by hordes from all sides.

So that's my handicap challenge: Crowded map and beat the AI at it's own game. No uber-bless, SC pretender or recruitable SCs.

I just did a Niefel game with 9W/9E/8N, and I was ENORMOUS compared to any of the AIs, and I had a massive gem income. But on Pasha's Asia Twist map, I had probably 10 entry points into my territory, and once all neighbors declared war, I couldn't hold them all back.....
