1 vs 1. What level you could win?

[sekong]

If 1 vs 1 AI. Which level you could win?
Espacially for Sid level does 1vs1 make it harder or easier?

 

[Zelda's Man]

I would think that 1 vs. 1 makes it easier. The computer gains an advantage early by trading amongst themselves. It will no longer have this advantage.

 

[Tomoyo]

I 've never tried one on one, so I wouldn't know... One on one makes the entire game change. I suppose if the AI never attacked, you could settle your way to a domination victory, since the AI stops at the OCN.

But human also lose the advantage of broking..Plus, they will only fight with you.

 

[DS_Legionary]

I've never tried before, but I might now as soon as I finish my current game.

 

[Cuivienen]

1 vs 1 is easier, mostly because a single AI is very easy to predict. The AI only becomes difficult to predict when there are many other AIs influencing it.

ill ahve to try 1v1 on all levels to see, and ill get back to you

1 vs 1 on Deity should work.
No, it isn't easier. You can't fight a Deity/Sid AI early on alone. It can simply overwhelm you. And, the tech costs for the human on Sid are so exorbitant, even a single AI can run a way here easily.
I fought a Sid AÍ in AG14 without allies, and it was brutal; it only worked because the AI lacked Horses and Iron - but still, you fight an entire war to raze a single city, and are forced to peace after that.

Normally i would say 1v1 is harder on the high levels because you make x-fers. On Sid, the 1 AI will simply outresearch you. Therefore, you would need to win early with AA units. It might be possible and maybe even relatively easy to win this if you are on the same continet, start with bronze working, do a min run on Iron working and a massive warrior upgrade. Only your best few cities need to be making warriors then. All other cities could be making catapults possibly by pop rushing even.

This requires a good distance on one continent, a distance where you do have the ability to expand to 8 cities or so but close enough that you can attack his core with your swords/catapults. Also does it require iron.

If not these conditions, i think it will be harder than normal sid, maybe impossible. Therfore i go with the deity option. Deity AI's can be outresearched and outproduced.

On levels lower than deity, i think 1v1 makes the game easier as there you are not getting much trade deals from the AI and generaly are the tech leader.

I think Wacken and DOC's post make a lot of sense. I heard that on 1 vs 1

SID, AI can easily leading for one age.

But if Tomoyo is right about the AI stop build on OCN, it matters a lot. But for Deity up game, they still could build very fast... very hard to say..

I'm surprised that seems not many people tried it yet..

 

[sekong]

Thanks...But don't puut too much time on it.. demi-god is the level I think might work..

ill ahve to try 1v1 on all levels to see, and ill get back to you
