Hi again,
This is mostly relevant to Age of Warlords, as I haven't seen another map pack
where units can be summoned by structures. Basically, I just beat the first
Tale of Two Cities map in Age of Warlords, but the AI only summoned units if
there were enough of the necessary point to summon them, starting from the top
and working their way down. This meant that the Terran Citadel never summoned
catapults or their tyrants, Anti-Paladins were few before I obliterated the
Monastery, and no dragons were summoned at all. It took me ages to beat the map
anyways, but this strikes me as selling the experience short. Can something be
done so that the AI summons units more randomly, maybe by working in order of
highest amount to lowest (That's what I do personally, except when I really
want catapults to blow something up with)? Much as the AI doesn't waste an
action it's given, seeing great quantities of platinum, gold, electrum and
Arcane just sitting there not being utilised felt slightly disappointing. :(
