Has anyone come against the ai version of the 'immovable object' yet?
Did you use 'irresistable force' to combat it?
Did you also find that inadequate to the task?
Do you wonder what the hell I'm talking about?
I'm refering to the ai's 'unkillable' unit. The one that no matter how stacked the odds are in your favor, the ai just is Not going to let you win.
I have examples:
I used 3 full strength ( 24 points ) 1st level gunships against 1 damaged ( 9.6 points) 1st level ai gunship and had 1 gunship forced to flank out and the other 2 killed.
A fluke? Nope, try 15 reloads with the exact same result. My gunships didn't even damage the ai unit any further.
Another example:
8 full strength modern armor attacking 2 half strength mechanized infantry guarding a city, the city was size 22.
Guess how many modern armor died in the assault. If you guessed all 8 than pat yourself on the back. Another fluke? Not bloody likely, over a dozen reloads and not one produced a favorable result. Again, the enemy wasn't even damaged.
They say 3rd times a charm:
4 3rd level subs of mine against one damaged ( 16.7 )1st level destroyer and 2 of my subs flanked out and the other 2 were destroyed. At least this encounter produces some damage to the enemy destroyer but I can never get it to go below 9.6, in over a dozen reloads.
So is anyone else encountering these units? The ones that defy all odds?
I'm still playing the game and in all fairness to the ai I have been remaking the moves that lead to military disaster for me, ( a moves a move as far as I'm concerned, even if the result sucks ) although I am quite despondent over these 'unkillable' units.
