The AI Heroes do? Even when I use the Editor to give the AI Heroes PoI's before the game starts, I have never known them to actually use these potions. Sometimes I see them get defeated by wandering monsters even when I know they have two or three PoI's in their inventories. When I finally defeat them, or the monsters that defeated them, I get back all the PoI's which were given to them in the Editor.Dalai wrote:AI heroes DO use PoI. Quoting changeog:
they don't actually use them, there is just a script run at the higher difficulty settings which causes every AI hero to have the potion of imortality effect on them at the begaining of each battle, start any map at an expert level then get in combat with an AI hero, if you look at the spells they have cat on them they'll have guardian angle cast on them which is the same effect a potion of immortality givesHodgePodge wrote:The AI Heroes do?

Yeah, I knew that Equilibris added the 'Guardian Angel" effect to the AI Heroes but still, they won't use any of the actual Potions.rhomboidspace wrote:they don't actually use them, there is just a script run at the higher difficulty settings which causes every AI hero to have the potion of imortality effect on them at the begaining of each battle, start any map at an expert level then get in combat with an AI hero, if you look at the spells they have cast on them they'll have guardian angel cast on them which is the same effect a potion of immortality gives
I had another kind of problem. I created a AI hero who could resurrect his whole army after each battle. but he was too scared to fight and stayed in his castle during the entire game...HodgePodge wrote: The AI Heroes do?

How did you manage that? Create a Cardinal with GM Resurrection, St. Ranan's Staff and the Ankh of Life? That's kinda cool. Too bad there isn't a skill or spell or potion which gives a Hero courage.Le_Faucheur wrote:I had another kind of problem.

(Here is perhaps some planned change in Equi?)
Also potion is supposed to bring you one more life so it should be most expensive of them all.
And in MP it will actually speed up the game, slowing down heroes with weak (pure) combat skills.
Life is not cheap.
AI is the problem in Heroes IV and I'm very sorry because this game is better in some aspects that Heroes V after my opinion, but got a bad reputationPol wrote:Yep, making AI wiser would solved that nicely
(and I think that IA originally knowing how to do that, here will be wrongly sorted priorites, could be that it's doing like last resort action? Never checked...)
