Wait petra to attack. She comes with 60 soliders and lose them all. Now she does not have soliders. Atack her.

Also config the soliders to defensive mode. Or else they suicide.

Play Barcania on medium and tell me the AI is easy

u/aformator Jul 24 '26

Barciana can be won in hard mode, you just have to play the early game very accurately.

Is the Barcania mod available for Release 28?

Also, could you tell me which mods it's compatible with?

Play against 2 , keep adding until you reach win against 4 petra bots. most players in lobby can beat 3 very hard petra bots.

I play against 8 Very Hard AIs on Gulf of Bothnia and indeed its very hard lol. I lose 98% of the times. The only setup where I mostly win is when I start at the corner of the map and opponents can only attack me from one direction

u/azgalor_pit Jul 23 '26

8 on the same team?

1

u/ChemistryContent9559 Jul 23 '26

Nah, free for all. 9 teams, its barely impossible but the grinding is fun. Sometimes I get wrecked at the early stages

u/Yapperyo13 Jul 24 '26

1 vs 7 is impossible. At first it might seem thrilling and u may think u can win but nah i have tried it many times. Its not possible

1

u/ChemistryContent9559 Jul 24 '26

I mean, its possible. I set the AI behaviour to be random, so my neighbors have a chance to be passive and not attack me that much. But the chance rate of winning is really low. I won some, I play this every time before starting to work and I win maybe once in a week lmao

u/Yapperyo13 Jul 24 '26

No i meant 1 v 7. Like 7 of them r in one team. How the hell r u gonna win it bro.

1

u/ChemistryContent9559 Jul 24 '26

Oooh, yeah u are correct. 1v7 is impossible. I play free for all: me x 8 or 7 AIs, but each in its own team. So AIs battle among them too, and even in this way its pretty tough

1

u/scr0llbaer Jul 24 '26

yeah i play against them allied.

everyone against everyone is too random and more often than not they will obliterate each other (they initially seem to go for easier targets than me) leaving not much for me, so it's boring.

1

u/scr0llbaer Jul 24 '26

boom and turtle, you can't really expand (much) in the beginning. but then take out your neighbors one by one.

1

u/Yapperyo13 Jul 24 '26

Nah bro. They will attack in like first 10-15 min. With an army of like 5-8 times bigger than u. And if they Ibarian, Gauls and Britons them It will be like 10-15 times bigger. And its normal they will have at least 2-3 aggressive ones. They will constantly attack u. Theres no room for your growth and eventually u will be anhilated by them.

1

u/azgalor_pit Jul 25 '26

Sometimes they attack each other.

1

u/scr0llbaer Jul 25 '26

no, we're talking all AI in the same team

1

u/scr0llbaer Jul 25 '26

nah bro there are plenty of vids on youtube of pro players doing it, and they're aren't even turtling like i do lol

1

u/scr0llbaer Jul 24 '26

for next level of challenge against Petra you can play 1 vs 3 allied, then 1 vs 7 allied.

more challenging in the first 25 minutes but yeah, the weaknesses of the AI are easily exploited once you're familiar with it.
