Appren -> RE: tactic vs several AI+ ? (9/3/2008 12:48:58 PM)

My favorite way to handle AI+ or multiple allied AI's is to set up a strong defense at the point where they naturally converge on your forces, multiple fortifications, supported by artillery and AA/fighters, and light mobile reserve forces. Have the AI's bleed as much forces as possible on your defense, while you outflank them, attack somewhere else on the map, maybe a naval invasion, or paradrops etc. Typically the AI will keep sending waves and waves that you can then defeat with only moderate reinforcments, from the relative safety of your defensive positions. Your naval invasion or flank attack will meet less resistance, and you can use a fairly large part of your production to keep it going, since the fortifications lets you defend against the AI main advance with low losses.
If you are able to set up in such a way that two hostile AI+ (or ++) forces meet each other as well as your defensive stronghold, they'll kill eachother as well as (failing) to kill you. Feel free to pull your line back a bit, if the map don't give them enough room to attack each other at this point.
If you have issues with one AI+ growing too strong while you finish off the other - don't! Don't just finish off one AI while you merely defend against the stronger. Attack the strongest one, allowing the AI's to still need to use forces to fight eachother.
