difficulty level in multi?

NeverSurrender · Sep 28, 2009, 09:19 PM

So me an 2 friends are playing games over the internet lately, but we are kicking the AI ass too much, we had a game the other day where we all had mech infantry and modern armour and Hattie had longbows, and she was the top AI with a semi respectable score!

So my question is, is it possible to change the overall difficulty for us all, say so that all the AI are as good as a solo prince difficulty game?

yes.

Under Custom Game, you select the difficultly level for you and your team....

Ratchet it up a notch.

Include more Civs (then tend to trade with each other making it more difficult for you)

Always War setting will make it tougher for you as well... just make sure you put you and your buddy on a team together, or you'll be warring with each other.

Do you play Pitboss? I'm looking for a game.....

Well we don't play as a team us 3, we usually play on big and small map, 3 human players and 4 or 5 AI, standard map size FFA. So we're looking to make the AI all princes for more challenging games.

I did an experiment... started up a custom internet game, as above except just 1 human and 7 AI, I set my difficulty to diety and found that after about 20 turns I was well behind on the scorecard (as I expect since I'm a monarch player). Is it really as simple as this? When my friends and I play again should we all just set our difficulty to prince for all of the AI to be that level?

In order for this to succeed; all humans must have the same difficutly selected. So both you and you friend must select diety if you want to get murderded some time.

I've been playing accelerated start games with my buddy lately. 16 ai, we play on a team, monarch difficulty, huge map, continents, aggressive ai, raging barbs, and marathon speed. It's amazing, we may have to go one difficulty level higher though.

Does anyone know how computer teams work? Does the difficulty level increase a bit when putting two on a team? Or would it be better if we just turned our difficulty up more and kept many single countries.

Hmm interesting question. I think it does get a little harder, because if you declare war on one AI in a team, you are automatically at war with that entire team.
