the AI is just so horrendously bad. how do people enjoy these games? Feels like playing chess against a computer who just pickes moves at random.
>inb4 mods
still don't fix most of the problems and often use artificial difficulty to make the AI more potent

pick a minor country in hoi4 join axis and beat soviets and allies, its surprisingly hard.
it's not hard but tedious
This. I have to invest in planes and basic infantry because the ai wont do enough of either and you win off that
Easy. Invest all of your nation's industrial capacity into making good armor divs and absolutely crush everyone in your way while Germany and the other axis nations plug the gaps around your troops with their infantry
Actually hard is conq world as luxemburg w/o aliances, and only since you should win some RNG, included be not attacked in wrong time.
Yeah, and playing multiplayer is either playing with morons or those guys who know how to conquer the entire Axis with South Africa because they no lifed the game.
>Stellaris
It's a narrative space exploration RPG, the AI is irrelevant beyond just being there to populate the map. If you're wasting time actually fighting wars in Stellaris you're doing something wrong
>HOI4
It's an encirclement simulator. The AI's only job is to create units and put them on the frontline so you can proceed to encircle them. All other mechanics are just roleplaying fluff.
>EUIV
Don't play this "game"
>If you're wasting time actually fighting wars in Stellaris you're doing something wrong
Joke on you, I made wars In stellaris multi decade nightmares to fight
Late game wars can take up to literal centuries
Did I lose some mental sanity in the process? Well, let's say ww1 in space is not good for your mental health
I think EU IV is great. I will play it when they finally stop being ultra-jews and finish the game.
Yes, I will pirate all the DLCs.
Literally every strategy game has shit AI. Either stop being a friendless loser and play MP or shut up already
Galactic Civilizations and Ai War have solid AI.
Galactic Civilizations have solid AI.
No.

No
> Literally every strategy game has shit AI
hoi4 is the most popular (non-turned based) strategy game on steam. There is no excuse for the AI being this shit.
average player is worse than the AI
Multiplayer.
It plays way differently than SP.

fun.
had some couple more MP games after that and not a single one of them didn't turn out to be a huge waste of time
> hunting hoi4 achievements
sad.
have you tried having friends?
>picking USA in a game with randoms
you only had yourself to blame
only one of them also owns hoi4
> picking USA in a game with randoms
one and only time I picked USA
Stellaris starnet AI is good without artificial bullshit imo. Too bad it's made by a Ukroid who is probably six foot under and in several pieces by now
Its not worth the effort to please the 5% of players that want a challenge when MP and achievements already fill that niche.
Shadow Empire
>stellaris
pro: cool events and possibilities
con: slow as shit, might as well be a turn-based game
>goy 4
pro: good war/combat system
con: samey as frick, always ww2, world tension etc
>eu4
pro: good claim/peace system, fun alt history trees, variety
con: no characters like ck2
why is there no perfect game bros?
hoi4s war/combat system is dogshit and I don't get whats so good about eu4s claim/ peace system.
> build intel network
> make claim
wow.
also there is (at least as far as I know) no way of making a peace deal where both sides cede some stuff to each other (probably locked behind some DLC though ...)
How you can get extra things in every war at the price of aggressive expansion, plus other shit I forgot like forcing religion(?) and other roleplay options
