Re: Brainless beating Barbie (hardest 1v1)
That is exactly what i usually exploit on water maps. I ignore water investments, and build a castle near the shore. This always does the job of killing AI fleet.
Here some fresh examples playing us 2v2 on hardest, version 2.15. We both have the impression versions 2.13 and 2.14 were harder, especially in hardest mode.
Water maps cause difficulties since it's very hard to balance land and water correctly. Human only needs either to beat AI whereas AI usually must control both to win. It could train more galleys, but that'd leave it more exposed to land attacks. After the human wins water it's very easy to snipe AI troops near shore, since AI's units have very limited capability to fight back against warships.
