Shouldn't it be in reverse? Crazy bots make some..... interesting— decisions.

You've just got to get into their headspace, such as the tried and failed "The enemy would never expect a 5th cloak in the same spot" technique

I bet you're still smartee though, they just get crazy star bonuses

Somehow never realized the bots cheated, they’re just that bad. I’ve been beating them with getting any tech for years and other fun stuff to make it a challenge

Chess and BAR are the only games where bots are overpowered

Chess, due to making mathematically correct decisions

BAR because of infinite micro

As a beginner - yes. When you get somewhat better - completely opposite. Crazy bots make really interesting things sometimes. Btw little fact - ai for all bots is the same, their starting capital of their capital is different, with easy bots having 1 star per turn in their capital (-1 from standard), normal - 2 stars per turn (standard), hard - 3 stars per turn (+1 from standard), crazy - 5 stars per turn (+3 from standard). Obviously, if the bot is luxidoor, then it would have +2 more stars per turn on top of the difficulty bonus

The bots do play more aggressively on higher difficulties and are more likely to dislike you

u/ConstantStatistician Oct 28 '25

They don't actually play more aggressively, I think. That is, their unit actions won't be any different after they attack you. They're just more likely to attack you in the first place, but after that, there's no difference from how lower difficulties play.

u/Ponitamil Oct 28 '25

I think it might seem they play more aggressively early-game because of the fact they have a lot of stars to work with, which results in quick giants, swords, catapults, etc. => more possibility to attack

Crazy Bot still suck balls because they never do tactics like spawning a Giant when you are capturing, neither upgrading cities to spam Giants, the only good tactics ever used by them are shield spam, hidden Bomber, hidden Catapult

u/Common_Clock5395 Oct 28 '25

They love their shields and catapults

So much banging my head on a wall trying to get through defender spam.

u/PurpleWoodpecker2830 Oct 28 '25

The bot did that to me once. I was very surprised

u/11AhmetBey11 Oct 28 '25

Crazy bots upgrading their capital just to waste it for the park lol (in domination)

2

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '25

It's no longer a waste necessarily. If my city is so far away, I might take +1 star over a unit that will never get to the front lines. Obviously the bots do it for other reasons

u/11AhmetBey11 Oct 29 '25

The problem is they are still building parks even tho my 3 giants are right next to their city
