How To Beat The NEW Hardest AI - AoEHD

how do you make the villager bring the boar close automatically?

How does it react to the persian douche? original ai just gave up. Also you have been Zack, but what are you now?

Even using robin hood im still struggling lol..

Its not the way you will learn much, because u spot weaknesses of ai and use them, because its everytime the same.
Simply to know that ai will not feudal rush, does not make sense to play arabia against them, specialy because the vills get so easyly distracted!
Try Arena und you will get a hard life doing a booming contest vs ai! If AI is to strong change difficulty.
One bad thing is, that if i want to change strategie by saving game and restore, the ai doesent play at the same strengh. Suddenly it lost its game plan it seems, witch is sad.

Come on 1 vs 1 it's not that hard, when 3 AIs comes to destroy you (even if they are not allies) that's a dificult battle. It's like they don't want to fight betwen them until they destroy me.

What's the point of wining by rushing AI? Wait will Castle and imperial and see AI throwing hundreds of units at you at once. Defeat that without wall and that's something.

Has the AI become even harder since this video was made?

Most of the time I play with my friends with a 20 minute peace treaty. We like to build up first and then clash. But in the time we try to deal with each other the AI grows beyond our comprehension and we need a truce to deal with it first lol. shit aint easy

Moderate is actually harder than the old 'hardest' now, in my opinion. If you let them get to castle, they're basically already at imperial, and then they spam-trash you and toss in a mix of siege and uniques to get the job done faster. I had 3 castles, 6 towers, and ~40 units on defense. Nowhere near enough.

I restarted, retried... basically if you don't aggressively harass their economy, you're doomed. Because the AI is amazing at turning literally every single point of eco into more attackers.

If you put the pop limit @ 500, it's like a fucking sea of enemies that come at you toward the beginning of Imp.

I can't even beat the AI on "easiest " :(

the fast castle knights rush is what i used to do to beat 2 and sometimes 3 computers in the original version of the game, now it is imposible to beat, a single one because by the time i attack the ai, they already have pikemans, archers, canons, castles, wonder, all the reliqs, a master chief..etc.

How would one beat 7 AI on moderate+? I need the steam achievement.

step 1: get to the feudal
step 2: build towers surrounding enemy town center and block his base using palisade walls
step 3: watch as the ai minds its own business as you are building its doom
step 4: win

Why is AI so inconsistent? I find sometimes I beat hardest quite easily, other times hard rushes me in early castle with 99999 archers and 5-6 rams

Am I the only one who can't even get close to beating the Standard AI?? ... ...........

pls don't judge me xD

I always wished they would let you pick from several AIs, like one that focuses on huge armies, one that focuses on siege, one that focuses on small raids, one that focuses on cavalry, one that focuses on ranged, etc, etc. I always want huge army battles.

great vidéo thanks you ^.°

when i try to do this, they rush me with skirmishers and archers on minute 14 and i die :c

Well I tried this, but I must be bad as fuck, because I cannot get Castle Age before 25 minutes -.- I tried to do the exact same thing I saw here, but...idk, I'm dumb

I play against the moderate AI and trust me they go to Feudal soooo quickly! It's faster than the FA time this hardest AI got. How do they go up so fast? :(
btw after their fast Feudal I almost always defeat one of them with a decent Archer Rush and good micro even though im behind them Age wise :)

back when i was playing alot i could go 1v7 hardest ai and wipe them out. if u can rush 1 player that is walled up. wipe them out then just hang out behind their walls. another is place a relic in a choke point when troops are advancing

In a 1v1 game (or 2v2, 3v3, doesen't matter) a tower rush in a land map is a definite win. They can't cope with it. Anyone can do it. Of course, it diminishes the fun a bit.

I use to play aoe2 back in the day and I still have those cd's lol. Bro thanks for the tip. As soon as I get a new video card I should have a lot of fun! :)

The hardest ai is not at all challenging.

Well, my hardes AI always starts with bonuses to his resources, because he gets feudal like 6-7 minutes in the game and is able to build castle with 100 stone gathered. That kinda pisses me off.

i Playin Age Of Empires The Forgotten ......I advance in Castle Age in 18 minute with 2 stables (5 minutes before AI) and when i start kinght rush he have 15-20 skimishers-archers and about 60 vilagers ...and next 15 archers-skimishers came to rush my town...... Iplay as celts but my celts have difrent arhitecture..... i think that AI on Forgoten is improved

I never get castle under 17 minutes. How is this possible ?

Hey, +ZeroEmpires, may I ask why you went after the TC with a mangonel instead of the more arrow-safe ram?

The AI though never builds any walls ;-; it makes it super easy to raid with horse archers and other fast units.

I'm very confused. If this was the new ai FE added to the game (Forgotten Empires) why did it not make some silly comment before resigning, and why did it not have (AI) beside its name? IE Robert the Bruce(AI)?

2 Celts meet in the arabic desert to make war. Okay.... :D

this ai sucks! i remembered in the original game they would start trickling an army to my base and harass my economy as soon as i hit feudal.

when i play on hardest the enemy is in the castle age in about 9 min. This tactic wont work:(

Beat moderate on black forest, did a mega turtle with byzantines and just spammed cataphracts and trash

You ought to do a video on how to beat the hardest AI (AoEHD AK)

i just bought this game on steam. i subbed when i saw this

its there a way to prevent ai to surrender ?

I heard that in Hardest, AIs get plus 500 of each ressources for reaching all ages, including dark age, from a wiki page. Weird how it didn't happen in this game.

Well, that's the cancer of AoE2.
Best strategy is always not to mess up dark age (lose 1 sheep and you lost the game) and go knight rush the fuck out of the game. That's not what a "game" is supposed to be, especially not a "strategy game" that should require people thinking about stuff. But the reality is that your villagers need to be on the time mark, make 1 villager 10 seconds to late and you messed up economy and they will knight rush you first.
Remove fun, add strict procedure of commands and you got AoE2.

nice

Like to see it without harrassig.
Or on a closed map to make it extra hard.

dude can you upload it for me, please ? :)

YOU PLAY WITH NOOB. DISLIKE

people are so serious when playing this, acting like the tightest of nerds. Like this guy says, Lost a villager to a wolf, not the end of the world. when if that would happen on a game with people ranked 1600+ they would try and kick you for being a noob.

For me the Hardest AI definitely starts with more wood... They take berries first and then build 6 farms straight away as well as a Mill.


Then they get to castle by 10 minutes.

it seems easier than original AI

Finally beaten the moderate AI (though on a big map 1v1 with the Indians and me as Goths, but it is a start).

I tried African kingdoms AI after FE, it's inexplicably harder
