Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era Simplified After Complaints - Developers Weakened AI Even on the Lowest Difficulty
Aggressive AI deprived some gamers of the pleasure of playing the new "Heroes".
Recently, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era was released on PC in Steam in "early access" format. The developers received initial feedback and began releasing patches for the game.
These include not only technical improvements and various bug fixes. Unfrozen studio also began to revise the game's balance — AI enemies behaved very aggressively, which some players did not like:
This patch aims to make the game more comfortable, especially for those who prefer a calm pace. Many of you noted that the computer player behaves too aggressively on random maps even on low and normal difficulties. It is extremely important for us that the game feels balanced and enjoyable with any playstyle, so we have made the necessary changes. Thank you for sharing your experience – this directly affects the game's development!
- Low difficulty is significantly weakened. The computer (AI) on this difficulty will act very passively and give the player plenty of time for calm and unhurried development.
- Normal difficulty is weakened. The computer now acts less aggressively and also less frequently interacts with heroes or castles to transfer armies, upgrade units, etc.
The full update description is available at the following link.
Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era started very successfully — many praise the game, peak online exceeded 50 thousand players, and the project was fully recouped in the first day. The developers expect the game to spend about a year in "early access" status, but this period may change "if player feedback significantly affects the course of development".
