Strange AI Behavior...

[Q-Necron]

Has anyone noticed if you have 5+ AI all around the same level of difficulty and the same team 2 just die right off. They don't even try to build or anything, they kind of just disappear. I've noticed it more and more and was wondering if there is a reason for this.

Maybe they sacrifice themselves for the greater good?

No, I've never seen this.

I have seen this and it seems like even with the AI level as the same on the slider. they are not the same even with as few as 3 AI's.
AI in position 2 and 4 seem to be "smarter" then AI in position 3.

It would be nice if the AI play style was picked randomly and were each different.

- It doesn't take much to thoroughly and fatally mess-up an AI player.

- For example - if in the first 10 minutes of expansion only 2 of the AI trucks are stuck on the way to capping oil resources
that AIs performance is so degraded that it becomes vulnerable to immediate eradication... This has a domino effect that escalates
with each passing minute. Those 2 trucks represent 2 oil resources it "thinks" it has and the scripts act upon that... researching, building, etc..
expending till it falls behind - committed to much more than it can expense. Essentially dead in the water and it all started with just 2 stuck trucks.
