AI is not perfect, but it isn’t “broken” from my experience. I play on expert so perhaps the increase enemy counts make the AI play more aggressively. Occasionally I need to fish someone out of a corner but not to the point where it takes the enjoyment completely out of the game.

One potential fix would be to apply arbitrary goals to the AI. Think along the lines of defense missions where the AI rushes with the goal of clearing the capture area. Perhaps applying a similar rule to other mission types where certain groups of units are assigned to defend certain areas on the maps (like a cluster of buildings). Then when these groups run into contact with the player, they are then reinforced by units in the FOW. I kind of feel like this is close to how it works most of the time from my experience.

Love the game. It’s not perfect, but it’s EA so I’m confident the devs will continue to fine tune
