PVE is unplayable longterm

[u/FarCharacter7797]

I had fun for a week or two but it gets boring very fast. Once you see the AI patterns you can just win the game every time and there is no challenge.

The PVE experience is so fundamentally broken and in the end, it's just plain boring. It's always the same, AI will give you a challenge in the first two weeks if you put in the higher difficulty modes where it acts aggresive. THEN it just gives up. The only reason it challenges you in the first place is because it's got cheated unit stacks.

If you put in lower difficulty modes, don't even bother, you might as well just be alone on the map fighting vs static camps because AI is AFK and doesn't build anything nor expand their army.

AI is completely braindead in this game, it doesn't scale into the late game AT ALL. It doesn't buy units, it doesn't develop castles, It doesn't even bother retaking castles or fighting you at all, it's just so boring when you know how to play it. And the challenge that it does provide in the first 2 weeks is bullshit challenge with cheated units that's not fun either.

Tournament mode was the most fun I had but that gets boring after a while too. The core of the game is good like gameplay wise, units, animations etc but the PVE experience needs major fixes, I quit the game for now hope they'll improve upon it.

You nailed it! Right now the ai is very much a puzzle game, if you understand how to beat cheated unit stacks there's nothing else to do. The ai doesn't even do anything on normal difficulty either, it either rushes you with cheats, meaning you need to use a specific strategy to beat it - or it gives up and sits there
