Utter noob seeking opponent

[Copper]

Never mind then, I guess I'm just a moron. Can't help but feel like I'm being attacked by people who have written numerous posts about how awful the AI is...

I don't know though...after just starting the game, I think there is something to be gained from playing the AI. People commonly bash the AI, but you are learning a simulation from scratch. You can learn terrain, unit capabilities and movement characteristics better than just reading the manual or exhausting your squads or moving them in the open against a human.


:soap:
Whatever...I'm not getting into a debate with anyone. I won't defend this anymore - last word to whomever disagrees w/ me next. I just said it helped ME - which isn't really debatable w/ anyone else, anyway. Please, lets hear it : "AI sucks! AI sucks! AI sucks...."

Best of luck to the newer noob. Out.

I have very recently returned to playing the AI after some interesting posts by Poor Old Spike at Fragment.

I have to say I've enjoyed it.

As Bootie says, the interaction with humans fuels PBEM, but in missions where you attack and if you rack the AI all the way up, and if it is a well designed scenario, then the Ai can be a tough opponent.

In summary, defend it if you enjoy it. It is a game and can be enjoyed from countless angles. I for one can never understand why guys always play QBME, but if it is what they enjoy, so be it.

Never be afraid to debate or stand up for what you believe in or enjoy playing. After all every guy here has his own opinions and preferences whether he has played 5 games or 500 every one is equal.
