As you all know, in Diplomacy some new higher difficulty levels were added. Do you know about how strong they are? I mean I heard that they are supposed to be invincible when you're playing against them on your own and that they're meant to be played against by several people.
Could you please give me some extra infos on them, please?
They're not invincible, and some people have managed to beat three or four vicious at once. The only difference between vicious/cruel and unfair is resource cheat; they get a lot more.
Of course, there are some known defensive and offensive combos the AI simply cannot beat, so if you can survive long enough to field them the difficulty stops mattering because the AI cannot beat you no matter how many resources they have. The trick is surviving that early game, which is usually a matter of distraction tactics and moving quickly to secure the key choke points before the AI's arrival.
The AI notorious for its slow deployment speed, and its resource cheat helps relatively little in this regard, so it's still easy to colonize two to three times faster than the vicious AI.
Agree with Darvin. I am one of those that defeats 3 or 4 vicious. They can throw some seriously big fleets at you but better tactics always wins and they have none of that. Pity.
So, what you guys are saying is that to play against opponents that use better strategy and don't get artificial resource cheats, the only option is to play against other people in online multiplayer over Ironclad Online? (Yes.)
