When playing on Hardest today I had a good start 22 villagers and its at the 8 minute mark hten out of the blue 4 calvary waltz into my town. As you can imagine its game over. I know ES gave the computer extra resources to start with when playing on hardest but this is a little weird, maybe they gave them to much or they could have given the coumputer AI not to attack until a certain time. Well thats my funny story feel free to comment.

It would be better if the level depended on the AI - but remember that for a game of four years old the AI is really quite good - most other games of that time had a much worse AI.
Also remember that with chess the comp only defeats the best human players because of brute force.

Sara:
Computer chess programs mostly beat top human players because they systematically test all possible moves from any possible move, sometimes many moves deep. Human players for instance sometimes can calculate six or more moves deep - the computer wins by calculating a few moves deeper than humans can. It's obvious that the computer doesn't win becaus it's better at chess in that case - it's simply better at calculating. still, most programs can beat most humans now.

I wonder how much extra resources did ES give the computer on Hardest... (It probably depends on the resources defualt, medium, low you start with...)

Maybe the AI can cheating(about ressources), I mean using cheat code or else...

Nope - only humans are depraved enough to use cheat codes - why would a computer ever want to do something like that?
