On first play-through the AI seems sort of plausible, but you soon learn to recognize repetitive tics (such as a path they are glued to on a tight timetable) that are very easy to exploit. Also there are gaping holes in their outpost defenses, completely undefended sides, usually conveniently overlooked by hills. But this is on 'normal' difficulty. I'd expect some of that to be different on higher. The most dangerous things in the North so far are the freakin' snow leopards.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 9 Jan 2019 15:49 by DSMITHHFX</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42251.119&return_msg=42251.119" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42251.119"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42251_120"></a><div class="message" id="message_42251_120"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time"> 9 Jan 2019 16:01</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Jan 2019 18:09"></span></span> <span class="message_count">120 of 211</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.120">42251.120</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.116">42251.116</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I've got the markers for the last two missions in Shangri-La. I'll give those a go tonight and get them out of the way. They're my least favourite part of the game so far - as Smiffy mentioned the AI and combat mechanics is where the game is at its most funnest. These bolt on missions taking you away from the core of the game are a bit staid. That said there must only be about 5 of them in total, so I'm really bitching over nothing. <span class="emoticon e_unsure" title=":/"><span class="e__">:/</span></span><br /><br /><br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 9 Jan 2019 16:40 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42251.120&return_msg=42251.119" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42251.120"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42251_121"></a><div class="message" id="message_42251_121"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 9 Jan 2019 16:18</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Jan 2019 16:35"></span></span> <span class="message_count">121 of 211</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.121">42251.121</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42251.119#a42251_120" target="_self">42251.120</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I think I've only done one S-L mission, the one with the magic tiger.
