If Barbarian gets an update, others would have to improve more to surpass Barbie, which is even more competitive am I right?
Also it would be a Barbarian update, which would be most pleasant
Come on The Max, where are you?

Re: Barbarian v2.18
The fact is that developers are already improving their AI))) and I am one of them, but the truth is that the development of the city in each age of the barbarian is almost flawless and it is incredibly difficult to come up with a more perfect development))) yes, the barbarian can be defeated due to a large number of duc control units, or tower rush tactics, or simply with the help of a large number of skirmishers in the early feudal age, but that's not it... I don't consider it an honest victory over him duc should be minimal

Re: Barbarian v2.18
Because a lot of duc is unfair especially in relation to people for example a human is not able to simultaneously control different groups of units in different places on the map I mean in 1 sec and the barbarian duc does not play a significant role However, of course, due to the fact that AI often makes a lot of mistakes, especially on maps like "islands", that's why duc compensates for these weaknesses

Re: Barbarian v2.18
well, Direct Unit Control is actually exactly what humans do; also, Barbie has more army micro than most other ai. I think I understand what you say about unfair control thoughGamesGod wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:33 pmBecause a lot of duc is unfair especially in relation to people for example a human is not able to simultaneously control different groups of units in different places on the map I mean in 1 sec and the barbarian duc does not play a significant role However, of course, due to the fact that AI often makes a lot of mistakes, especially on maps like "islands", that's why duc compensates for these weaknesses

Re: Barbarian v2.18
Barbie does some hit and run micro, but it’s true that it still uses this to a lesser degree than some never ai’s. However saying DUC does not play a significant role for Barbie is just wrong. It just uses DUC in more suttle ways that you may not notice as much as the hit and run micro. Things like army movement, defense, counter push, mangonell micro, unit targeting, gathering units before a fight are all relying on DUC commands, sometimes in combination with TSA.GamesGod wrote: ↑Sat Nov 05, 2022 1:33 pmBecause a lot of duc is unfair especially in relation to people for example a human is not able to simultaneously control different groups of units in different places on the map I mean in 1 sec and the barbarian duc does not play a significant role However, of course, due to the fact that AI often makes a lot of mistakes, especially on maps like "islands", that's why duc compensates for these weaknesses

I wonder if we will ever see an updated Barbarian AI

Re: Barbarian v2.18
The Barbarian uses micro armies only for initial feudal/castle age attacks... In defense, it does not use duc at all, it is not needed, the TSA so perfectly helps to protect the city. He just changes the priorities of targets using offense-target-priority the economy (management of villagers) also seems to be without duc. Well, then, when the Barbarian began the transition to imp age, he turns on the TSA and runs into the attack, again, without duc, but simply specifying priorities for the attack, TC, castle, towers...The funny thing is that if he had used attack-now instead of TSA for the attack. Then the effectiveness of this continuous attack becomes significantly lower due to poor choice of targets this is the main problem of the attack-now function... The units that are sent by this command to attack are terrible at choosing targets - and nothing can change this choice... I have not yet found a way to use the attack-now function so that it makes an effective attack...TheNightPanda wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 1:37 pmBarbie does some hit and run micro, but it’s true that it still uses this to a lesser degree than some never ai’s.

Re: Barbarian v2.18
I’m sorry but you are just wrong. It does use DUC for defense and economy. Both are in conjunction with other systems sure. I’m sure it’s hard to know if you don’t have as much experience using DUC. No top ai uses attack-now.GamesGod wrote: ↑Mon Nov 07, 2022 8:33 pmThe Barbarian uses micro armies only for initial feudal/castle age attacks...
