AI gameplay¶

Villagers¶

Don’t collect resources in hazardous areas / send the military to clear them out
Send military task forces to guard strategic resources / tower them
Don’t build in hazardous areas
Build more gates in walls to prevent lock-ins
Prefer to build castles and towers near the water/thin places
Create more trade cogs and trade ships

Avoid fighting in hazardous areas / prefer fighting in range of own castles
Coordinates reaction to attacks on units (during march, …) (including attacks by towers/castles)
Disable scouting if the “all visible” option was selected.
Lame you (steal boar in the beginning on purpose)
Understand, how to do economic damage
- e.g. if losing of all AI-units is inevitable, run and attack villagers to hurt economy
don’t wait for hours to mass up army and then try to overrun you at minute 40
- send smaller amount of troops earlier in the game to annoy you
- while building up a big army in the back
