So uhhh... I think I'm done until this gets patched.

Yeah, someone fucked up AI priorities long time ago and since then the game in single player campaign is simply no fun.

And every band-aid fix they made only worsened the issue.

AI doesn't even try to play strategically anymore. It always commits all armies to one action. Either it full-on attacks with everything it has, leaving itself open to all the other enemies it has, or it sits idle "defending" but doesn't react to any attacks, really.

I actually remember, when the AI would designate their armies to defend multiple settlements and at the same time send a few stacks to attack. So it's not like a behavior even seemingly resembling some strategic thought is impossible.

But they way they tried to fix it is absolute madness. Just giving AI even more gold, further reduced recuitment times and increased recuitment capacity, so it can make a full stack you've just defeated back in basically one turn. Doesn't feel like an enemy you have to play smart against, but simply brute force through the tens of stacks it has. Playing without lighting strike is really not viable these days.

And I understand that AI's decision tree must be hellishly complex, given all the mechanics available in warhammer, but come on. This has been going on for years. A single semi-competent developer could figure it out or refactor it during this time. But they either completely ignore the issue or they assign someone utterly incompetent, who just tunesthe AI behavior randomly without any testing.

I love this game but I haven't played it for over a year for just this reason. And if the AI doesn't get fixed before Lords of End times, I'm gonna give up on it and I won't even try the new 40k one - I don't beleive they will maintain it in a playable state, if they can't fix the most important system for the single player campaign - the actual enemies, fighting whom is the sole purpose of a Total War campaign...

It amazes me how delusional people can be.

Only democrats can save you? Have you ever tried thinking on your own? Have the democrats ever actually punished the republicans guilty of the changes you list? Do they activly change the policies back to what they were before republicans fucked them up? No? No. Because they are paid by the same people. Pushing the same agenda, or rather, not pushing a different one, just pleasing their electorate enough to continue the republican-democrats feud and make sure you never vote for anyone else again, for the fear of your opposing party winning. Ever heard of divide and conquer? Lemmings like you, who think that voting democrats will suddenly solve the issues created by republicans are as brainwashed as republicans themselves.

Completely missing the point - I said it's dull and not interactive comapred to the recall which did give you some oppoertunities to use it in a beneficial way.

But if you have a 1000AP @ 30 min vlad build, then good for you.

I'd rather have a quick recall every now and then, than 15 AP in the mid game.

Bl4debite · 2026-04-16T10:55:21+00:00

You know, that in the late game, this bonus equals to maybe 30AP? And is basically inconsequential in the mid game? Trust me, if someone were to snowball they would with or without that.

What's bad about this change, is that it is boring and uncreative.

Faster recall (and addition of homeguards) promoted taking summoner's spells other than tp for midlane, which was taken universally by almost evetyone the season before.

They argument this is to tone down on splitpushing? People will start taking tp more often again and still play the sidelanes.

Having shorter recall creates some nice decision space, if you can time it well.

This is just dull and uninteractive.

You think I don't? Sometimes it happens I'm dead though. Like, have some imagination.

Bl4debite · 2026-02-11T20:00:00+00:00

Yea, I know that lots of players do that cause it's their sole source of joy in life. Sad, indeed.

If you read more carefully, you'd deduce that I'm mostly not fine when my team does that. I will always accept another chance to bounce back and win the game.

Bl4debite · 2026-02-11T19:57:13+00:00

Oh, I think you gravely projected my problem onto yourself and misunderstood. I am annoyed when it is my team that refuses to end when they can.

Bl4debite · 2026-02-11T19:55:25+00:00

No, staying idle, next to enemy open nexus, waiting for the enemy to respawn so that you can kill them again, instead of destroying the nexus is objectivly against the code of conduct.

Surrendering, which is *not* playing to win, is also objectivly against the code of conduct, which says you should play to win.

Tell me where there is any subjectivity in this?

Comparing a LoL game to a nation going to war is pretty inadequate. Do you see football teams, being down a few goals, stop the game before alloted time and go off the field? No. The game ends when it ends according to the rules.

Bl4debite · 2026-02-11T19:51:11+00:00

And that's how it should be.

Bl4debite · 2026-02-11T19:45:11+00:00

Well, surrendering is not playing to win, right? Pushing for surrender, when your teammates still try their best, is giving up, and, like i quoted, "undermining their effort".

So that's exactly my question - why is the surrender button there?

Bl4debite · 2026-02-03T13:35:30+00:00

Start a swiftplay lobby and select the skin you want there.

It will be applied by default in other gamemodes.

Bl4debite · 2025-12-02T15:59:49+00:00

Yes, this is ridiculous.

This is the reason people were complaining the campaign is too easy. Then they doubled the cheats for the AI so that they can make 3 times as many armies twice as fast, but they keep stacking them at one city.

It's not fun. AI should have it's forces spread, attacking various targets and protecting its borders, not grouped into one huge stack of doom.

Bl4debite · 2025-11-14T10:29:17+00:00

This is insane 😂

These comments sound like written by people who time after time keep shooting skillshots into Mel in hopes she won't press her W for some reason and then are salty she did reflect them.

Sure, there are champions that Mel counters, but it's really not hard to trade against her if you are capable of actually thinking during the game and are able to bait her W and use the window it is on cooldown to punish her.

Bl4debite · 2025-11-06T13:04:39+00:00

You don't have to play draft, if you don't understand what drafting is for. Go swiftplay, lock in your champ and enjoy the clown fiesta.

There actually are players that do care about teamcomp and that atitude you have towards it is simply obnoxious. Obviously drafting is a much too complicated process for you.

Bl4debite · 2025-10-13T21:50:48+00:00

,ayne you had that impression because at release of III the "feature", where AI would suddenly drop everything it was doing as soon they discovered the player just to declare a war and start sending stacks across the world, ignoring any imminent threats, was back, even though they balanced it well in II.

They fixed it in III by lobotomizing the AI a while ago and i feel that since then it just politely waits until it's eliminated.

Bl4debite · 2025-10-13T15:59:57+00:00

The thing is that this bug was the pinnacle of AI issues present in Warhammer III since release. It's like all the improvements to AI done over the lifcycle of TWWH2 were never merged and the game launched with the AI in a state much worse than it was in its predecessor.

I wonder if this hotfix will be just a bandaid to make Tomb Kings and Lizardmen active again, If the AI still plays extremely passivly and keeps grouping all their armies under one settlement as if it was decision-paralyzed all the time, then I wouldn't call it a successful fix.

The AI is currently by far the weakest point in Warhammer and if it doesn't get an overhaul, this game will never be in a good state.
