Weird Standard AI ? Difficulty gap ? Thread - Ultimate Apocalypse Mod (DOW SS) for Dawn of War

Hi people.

I'm here because i've noticed that the AI is pretty... Strange. Let's explain :

Easy difficulty : Nothing. The AI create 1-2 units, and when they're dead, she just sit here and do nothing. Not even crappy scouts.
Standard difficulty : Again ! Nothing ! Just 1-2 unis and that's all.

And here we go :

Hard difficulty : The AI rush like hell and kick my ass in 5mn. The AI sent many vehicles and upgraded troops and spam artillery.

I'm not a really great player at DoW. But standard is actually just... Easier than easy ! Is it a bug ?
I noticed that the number of points on the map is really determinant on the AI. But i can't play hard because the AI just stomp my troops, and in standard, well, as i just say, she do NOTHING.

I usually also play without the fog and with fortress addon.
Sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker.

I will certainly increase the difficulty of standard ai as you are not the only one who took notice. Thanks!

Greetings! I probably found a bug in AI. AI not build any units or buildings just scouts. I played on hard difficulty necrons vs dark eldar. I have the latest version UAM

Uh... I need more info. Scouts are from Space Marines and I'm not sure if you are talking about Dark Eldar or Necrons?

Sorry... not scouts i mean first basic unit from Dark Eldar base (melee unit). I dont know the name . Weird.. I tried it again and everything was fine

Huh. Must've been a random issue with a wincondition. Lemme know if you counter it again. State all information possible, like the map, factions involved, winconditions, and MP/SP.

Thanks for the attention you gave to my thread, that's very nice

To bump, I think you increased the Standard difficulty a little too much.

10 minutes in and you can get swarmed by floods of top-tier AI units...

I'm not having this problem, not even on hard...

But I guess it depends on the size of the map togheter with your playstile, because if you don't do any map control on a big map and turtle your base, after 10 minutes the AI might have capped something like 20 strategic points, it's a massive income rate hence the swarm...

Only a guess bwt

I find a huge gap between standard and Hard AI. Actually it seems the gap is not as big as it was before. (months ago). I am sure they have worked on it.

Standard Ai advances as fast as hard AI but attacks less often and with smaller groups of units.
