In addition to a description of the bug you are reporting, please provide:
A. I. Is spending 22 gold on mini’s in the first 20 seconds on the first boss of deadmines . This is a yellow level dungeon for me and I can’t even get a push going.
This nonsense happens regularly for me, now. Yesterday, I was doing Raene. I failed it twice, so on the third attempt, I started pausing it and tracking the AI minis. This is what happened:
AI put out 24g worth of minis at the very beginning of the fight:
3 Huntress (5g each)
Footmen (5g)
Flamewalker (4g)
Within the next 35-40 seconds, AI put the following on the board (26g worth in minis):
Gryphon Rider (2g)
Prowler (3g)
3 Huntress (5g)
Kobold (1g)
Footman (5g)
I killed the Kobold. That was 50g worth of AI minis within 40 or so seconds…with no gold mining.
I ended up winning on this attempt (I stopped tracking after that last Footman b/c I wanted to just beat it. I had a sliver of health left on my tower.
The campaigns are not supposed to be even. The huntresses in the Raene level spawn on a timer from the right top corner, and are not part of the AI’s mini purchases. Many other levels spawn enemies on a timer as well, and some levels give the AI minis to start, meaning those minis are not “purchased” either.
This is not a bug or cheat, it’s part of the difficulty of the level.
Safe pilot on both sides of the map at the same time on heroic Tirion is not part of the design. I sent troops out both ways and they are being killed by back to back “nailed it’s”
At this point I have a little over 100 sigils, so I am not up to heroic Tirion yet. However in your original post, the only specifics you mentioned were that you were seeing bugged spending in the first boss of “deadmines.” I don’t know what “deadmines” is and you didn’t give much detail so I can’t comment on your issue.
My remarks were directed toward Achaia, who was counting the AI spawns in the Raene level. If the triple huntress spawns (which are timed sends and don’t cost the AI gold) are removed from their calculations then the AI isn’t spending more than they should.
ive tested it six ways from sunday. playing, counting, restarting over and over on many levels in order to isolate which were scripted and which were not. The ones already spawned are the easiest to catch obviously, and then there are minis that spawn out of buildings, even some in an ear shot distance where it can fire as soon as it spawns. After isolating all that and even changing my minis, the AI would also change its minis. However, sometimes it would not change its minis and would eventually lie down almost to easy mode. However, when its in the kick your butt mode, it will spawn perfect counters to your minis, as well as generate gold faster than you can(even if your holding the gold and chests sometimes) and thats the bottom line. If your getting frustrated by the AIs behavior take a break and come back. The AI will ease up on you sooner or later, be it that it doesnt counter your minis as well or it makes silly moves. Overall, it depends on how you look st it is whether not or it defines it cheating. If you feel it should share your limitations and rules you follow, then its definitely cheating. If you feel it wont operate at your rules and thats fine with you, then you ultimately wont see it as cheating. I was going to elaborate more, but i feel ppl should get the jist and i dont intend on arguing with ppl who just like to talk and never spent the time and effort themselves into analyzing the AI behaviors.
