How's the AI?
Posted: 07 May 2012, 15:53
Hi! I remember playing the old Shandalar game on windows 2000. The AI was fine and competitive enough. It even made some clever plays like casting a hurricane to cause a draw, when it was about to lose.
After returning to the game with a windows XP computer, the game no longer worked without the manalink 1.3.2 patch. However, when playing with the patch installed, the AI seemed to be incredibly stupid. It cast pump spells on my creatures midcombat, causing the death of its own. Once it made a dark ritual on turn 1 to shoot me with a 1-point drain life.
So, has there been any improvements on the AI department in the latest manalink patches? Or does the manalink patch still cause it to lose all playing skills?
Thanks
