But that doesn’t mean the AI enemy doesn’t use other means of cheating (on purpose). The trainer most likely doesn’t give the enemy unlimited resources, as said. Also noticed the enemy in FPS games never run out of ammo or chucks more grenades at you than they can realistically carry? Or, another example, have you ever played a FPS game and all of the sudden a random enemy seems to spawn behind you and nearly kill you? (cough - Call of Duty) That’s not a bug and no, you don’t need glasses - that’s the AI cheating. And the developer, Ensemble Studios, admitted the AI cheats.
Eagle-eyed players quite early on in higher difficulties noticed that the AI team was producing quantities of troops that it couldn’t possibly have collected enough resources for on time. Otherwise you’d probably get bored quite quickly without an additional challenge besides resource collection.Īge of Empires is most famous for this. For example, in a lot of RTS games, the enemy AI will often cheat to give itself enough resources to build an army to attack you. Sins of a Solar Empire was a great entry strategy game for its time. From the PCGamesN article: This iconic RTS/4X game has some really cool mods that you should check out, from Star Wars to Star Trek and more.
Well… In some games the AI is specifically scripted to cheat in order to try to beat the player, particularly in RTS games. PCGamesN - The best Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion mods 9:00:00 AM.
