Empire Earth: It's Official; the Computer AI CHEATS! 

Just like ants. :/

@Jesiah Isaiah did someone care ?

Are you on the empire earth reborn discord?

lol yeah me too

The game would be unplayable as a four year old could beat the AI on hard. Remember that Empire Earth was made for computers that would lose to today's smartphones. There simply wasn't the neccessary processor power at that time for a more sophisticated AI, so they offset that with cheating. These days computers are more powerful and hence the AI's are much smarter, but even in this day and age each and every RTS game AI cheats to make up for the lack of intuition and iprovisation skills that set a human apart from a machine.

@@dschoene57 Processor is not at fault, programing, or lack thereof, is. Contemporary RTS game like Age of Empire or Warrior King Battles had decent non cheating AI challenging for most casual players (AoE only cheated on highest difficulty levels, but the lower, non cheating difficulty levels weren't trivial to beat). Age of Empire HD, which was something like 4 years old when you posted this comment does not cheat at all and is at weakish expert level. AIs strong enough to pose challenges to pros have been made by the community as well, for AoE HD and for starcraft as well I think. The real explanation is that it was probably a relatively small team that couldn't do everything and had to prioritize campaign expansions over writing a half believable AI. Even in Civilization, where the AI needs to cheat copiuously to compete with hardened veteran, it is strong enough to teach the newest players without having to cheat, and to cheat in a believable and enjoyable way (they're able to developp faster while defending with more troops, but when you deal damage to them, they feel it).

@@4xelchess905 yeah nowadays they have neural networks like open ai that can beat even the best starcraft players

@@stormcaster6322 When I say contemporary, I don't mean contemporary to us, I mean contemporary to EE. Warrior King battle has no neural network and it and its AI run on the exact same 20 yo patatoes EE does.

@@4xelchess905 oh ok merry christmas btw

Can I really do that!? I never used custom scenario once btw. I don't think there is a way to disable it unless I dig deeper into the game's files, but... I'm not much of a programmer to hack my way to fix the game dev's error? Anyways, thx for the info. :/

yes ! in the custom scenario just go to players settings then ai settings e mark everything except "cheat" and "ignore" and then generate a random map.dont forget to lower the starting resources or the computer will rush units like crazy at the early game,use the "set to all players" to make the things easier

@@hashinshinisap3do226 i just want to be technologically far ahead than computers, but the problem is, when you research next era, comps will get it for free. this solves this aswell ?

I find I can stomp the A.I after I have advancd to era 4 or 5. Make a plan, and work to it. The A.I. usually does not attack until after era 4.

Huge maps also work with lots of artillery

No idea. You have to find that on your own. I rarely play Empire Earth, and I should get back to it while my list of RTS games to play atm is on hand.

+Phoenix4646 Reminds me of one german mission "The Red Baron" where artillery and medic units are abusive and completely broken because of the medic's heal...

Santouryu3 The hardest German mission was the WW2 invasion of Poland, Denmark(or Iceland?) and France with a time limit. The Artillery one wasn't too hard, you just had to micromanage your army. Give the artilleries a dog to shoot at and move the dog around to dodge the artillery and simultaneously attack the artillery with suitable units.

Actually that mission is a lot easier now since you can travel through the ocean in a speed run. *As long as you don't declare war on Poland's polish hot dogs from an early start, my fuhrer.* xD

+Georgegr George On Empire Earth, the AI has unlimited resources regardless of starting a new game. The players' disadvantage point here is proof enough that we're forced to the resource glitch to even the plain fields. So really there's no point for the AI to gather resources if it's infinitive #. Still I

in aoe computer cheats, in every single one of them. but ai for 1 is imo the best, really great catapult/archer micro kiting

We're not "forced to the resource glitch to even the plain fields". We have something else to do that: our brain. Seriously, that's the human advantage.

in the hd version of aoe 2 it doesnt cheat

in all age of empires games(also age of mythology)the ai cheat in the hardest difficulties

You can change difficulties... AI still cheats tho. xD

Santouryu3 wow, good video btw, I always had a sneaking suspicion thar the AI cheats

Thx. It's not the best quality video tho. Then again, it's an old rts game.

five years late I can say that the only thing that changes with the difficulty is how frecuent they attack you

@@antiamenaza7372 better late than never!

I already figure out that the AI cheats with unlimited resources. *Played it numerous times*

All your base are belong to us

Yes, I have never been able to birbe my way out of trouble.

On small map ? On medium or large, but on small map without cheats, in Nano age, I doubt it

Make an extra huge map (maximum size), build hundreds of altillery, and ask the artillery to carpet bomb one location of the map where the AI comes from (they always use the same route). When I was young, I was suprised to see that I was carpet bombing their units (like a 50 to 1 k/d ratio, even more, 100 k/d ratio I would say) and they just kept endlessly creating units... Not a categorical proof, but was still very surprising nevertheless.

Yes you can win. The cheating is a problem, but if you plan what you intend to do before starting, you can succeed. Learn the bounuses and play to your strenghts.

Sorry to burst your bubble, bub, but the AI actually does have unlimited resources if you've seen here in this video instead of jumping wrongful conclusions. The AIs and myself included started with the exact same amount of resources. Take note that I can't even build a barracks yet; however, my AI ally can build it with the amount of resources that doesn't even meet the requirements. Besides, I'm playing the original EE with no patches whatsoever in the files. Who knows you could be right about AIs not cheating if you are playing the patched version which I doubt it. It's NOT like I actually prove to dry out my enemy AI's resources like any other player would do... Battle Realms for example actually functions okay with the resources it has unlike EE. At least the AIs on that game dried out to the point of unable to build or produce anything left. Also, your grammar is hard to read... :\

Santouryu3 I found out everything cost much much less for the AI, like 3 w per barrack

It doesnt matter if you stay 1 hour in every era, or you risking being rushed, and climbing tech as fast as you can, the computer players will get your tech level for free after 1-2 minute. you just cannot get an advantage. i would say you lie or a programmer changed some things in your game files. i would love to hear what did he changed.

@@leonardoeras7962 This is just not true. The AI cheats hard, and you can only win if they decide to not attack you.

I've played games where I rush with towers right outside their capitol on a small map. Every citizen that walks out gets killed. No food harvesters, they will keep producing citizens until the capitol finally takes critical damage from the towers.
