Richard III -> AI Games (6/1/2010 3:18:02 PM)


The old very inexpensive Bulge game from SSG was one of the best wargaming experiences I ever had. I am a fan of SSG.

But.........before I drop $100 + to get Kharkov: Disaster on the Donets and ATD 2nd. I`d like to know how the "New" AI is VS a human player ( I have no interest in H to H ) and how much re-play value in terms of hours is there in both games ?

Will the AI respond with new tactics to different human player tactics.

Is this a scripted or dynamic AI ?

Game play wise I get close to 40 hours for ATD2 playing the Germans and I am currently playing the Russians and each turn is close to 2 hours long for me.

There is an option in the game for hidden units that mixes the start up each time and I think there are 10 or so different variables.

As far as the AI goes it is very capable and if you make mistakes it will punish you, I find game play to be very challenging myself.

It is pricey, no doubt about that.

However considering you also get the Husky scenario in Italy I would class this game as a buy. It was a hard pill to swallow for me but I bought it and after playing as the Germans in ATD I give it the two thumbs up and a snap endorsement.

The bulge game is included with Korson Pocket and also as a separate download for Battles in Italy. Money wise there is no better deal than Battles in Italy and if the Kharkov price is to intimidating than I would get that.

Go over the SSG site and see for yourself.

Thanks Targ

Decided to buy it. I must be the worlds worse SSG player, if only I could win as the Germans[&:]

Heh,

Getting a draw in ATD is pretty common against the AI. It has been said that the battles taking Smolensk had more to do with Germany not capturing Moscow than the Mud.

a draw? you mean the battles don't go until one side wins?

thanks garrett




Tempest_slith -> RE: AI Games (6/8/2010 12:34:27 AM)

ATD is a 20 turn scenario with Victory Points (VP) awarded each turn for enemy units destroyed and objective cities held.

A draw or marginal/decisive/overwhelming victory is awarded at games end based on the total VP difference between players.
