GE has new AI strategy?

[DeletedUser5149]

Is it just me, or does the AI in GE act more like the AI in the continent battles? I have only done the first 8, but the defense sure seems to be attacking the troops before the rogues. If true, going to make the 3rd level pretty challenging.

I agree - definite change to AI - now seems unpredictable. Started to loose units in level 1 - never happened before. Makes using auto almost impossible without serious losses. Frankly the game takes up enough time as it is. If I now have to fight each battle on manual, I will probably give up altogether - The new level is boring and it just will be no fun anymore. Someone should check the AI on GvG to see if that has also changed.

yes it act like the continent map now. i guess they no longer want us to be able to beat all 3 levels fighting (unless you have a much higher attack boost than the AI). not happy about this at all i like the idea of winning all 3 levels thru fights for the tower points

Yes I had noticed it too on the short one they released yesterday, I thought it was because I had jumped to AF since last GE?
It was hard enough before, now it's going to be impossible to get to the end of level three, without losing masses of troops and rogues, and take hours to get there even if you can.
This is a game changer and a lot of peeps are going to drop out rather than lose their rogue stock and troops, which was going down before, now it's going to be even faster.
Bad move Inno, as usual

GE fighting was too easy compared to GE negotiation

so InnoGames had to change something
and they have decided to change fighting to make it more challenging

 

[DeletedUser4285]

yes because why have fighting easy when the negotiation was hard right?

 

[aliatela]

Yes, they did change how AI behaves on GE, now it indeed attacks troops first before rogues. This is going to alter whole dynamics for fighting on GE, making it harder to preserve troops, especially on higher difficulties.

I do wish that Inno would learn that " If it ain't broken - don't fix it". GE was the only thing really keeping me in the game. After the farce of the Easter Event, the boredom of the repetitive Quest lines and the dissapointment of Arctic Future and it's lack of GvG map, my main solace was GE. The prize benefits for GE were always a little dubious but the battles were fun even if it was heavy on rogues. The troop losses involved in the future will make it untenable for me, even on Beta where I have good attack bonus's. On the main servers where I have games in many different ages, the lower ages will suffer the most. It was already difficult with no Traz and small attack bonus to get past level 2 but now it is likely to be almost impossible. If it is introduced there, it will kill interest in GE for all but the strongest players. The negotiation thing is already a joke lottery so rather than bring more players together, it is likely to cause even more separation between the haves and the have-nots. Shame Inno, GE brought back the "edge" to the game. This update, together with the negotiate option, takes it away again. One step forward, 2 steps back as usual.

I don't believe the change was intentional. We've notified the development team, we will let you know once we find out more.

 

[DeletedUser5324]

AI behavior has not only changed in GE but in GVG also...
However, it would be most helpful to get information if this is intended or not asap.
Thanks to the Community Management in advance.

 

[thephantom]

We've passed along information about both - it does not appear to be intended. At the moment we can't say when it will be fixed, but hopefully it won't take long. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.

This problem happens when you attack your neighbors too. It was so mad and incomprehensible.

 

[DeletedUser7522]

you are such a disgrace, you allow all the fake battles to carry on and you have made all the others much harder. A TOTAL DISGRACE

 

[vidicecilia]

Please, give us some answer.
I can`t make any battle more if I don`t know which are the rules and I think everyone is in the same situation.

An answer has already been provided above - the change was not intended and the development team are aware of the situation.

Perhaps you are not aware that Darkstar is not a part of the development team in any way, who are all based in Germany. Darkstar's role is (among other things) to help facilitate communications between the players and the development team, and has no role in the actual decision making or the programming of the game itself.

So insulting him is doing no good, especially when he is doing his best to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Thanks again, Darkstar, you have always been up and up with us players.

we shouldnt forget we're on a test server so these issues use to happen

Thanks, Darkstar.
We love you, do not feel bad

We know that Darkstar is not responsible of any problem and we know he is a beautiful person too, but we need some news and he is the only who can give us them.
