at least you know what not to research. It gets kind of easy. race to getting wave serpents, relying on a swarm of rangers and guardian suicide squads to grab as many resource hexes as possible, and the dude to heal them, whilst saving up as much as possible to ply your weak commanders with tasty eq...

I have the same issue. The AI is terrible. The only way to have them win is to put them at least 3 steps above me, or to end up sandwiched between two 2 steps above me. Same issues: ignored resource hexes, troops walking into wire weed and dying, feeding gigantic enslaver armies with cheap infantry....

In the meantime Gladius 126 is very much a lot of fun ! If only I'd stuck with it. Got the latest greatest dlc working with vulcan, and the AI / balancing is a gigantic bag of poo. I'd like to have options to turn off the dumb resource placement (i know, to be fair for multiplayer, but takes away h...

Data/world/units/( name of the faction ) name of unit.xml contains animation idles references. Back up the xml file Delete line idleanimations= And the next 3 lines after it Idleanimationcount 0 seems to do the same thing ( you change the number in there from whatever it is i.e 5 to 0 which means i...

gladius 1.2.6 (non-vulkan) was fine.

No AV, just built in windows version

lol. I did. now the game runs, but the AI sucks. So much effort, such a let down

I am playing version 1.2.6 as I cannot play with Vulkan since the specs changed after that version number. I have all DLC up to that point and after what is described maybe I'm not missing anything. Anyway, the AI in my view seems surprisingly good, again this is version 1.2.6 legacy which is still...

1.7.3

Changing difficulty doesn't mean the AI changes its style, just its advantages. Dumb as rocks, but with flag bonuses.

I want the old behaviours back

There is something wrong with the gladius build. It is that simple. It might have something to do with systems that have two GPUs. my installation failed repeatedly until I told windows to only use the gaming GPU for the gladius.exe and added a direct exclusion into the windows virus protection (oth...

I was stuck on tyranids for the longest time, as my old laptop didn't have vulkan capabilities. The AI was dumb, but aggressive and tricky to beat on harder settings. Now i'm playing with all the DLC to Alderi, and the AI is as dumb as a bag of rocks as utterly useless. For example: the AI no longer...

More than 550 hours, only playing against AIs, the more of them on bigger map with slower pace. Often my victory, or rather my losses, is decided by "geostrategy", the fight with neighbours, letting others to be later too big. Just had an epic game, (on the latest version I can run, as vu...

can you release the AI and balancing updates for the last non-vulkan version too, please.

thanks. My specs are clearly not high enough for the later DLC, although the base game runs fine. I've got and ivy bridge laptop. I consider that choice to drop openGL to be utterly stupid. The base game ran just fine, even on huge maps. DLC should not change base game requirements at all and the de...

well, looks like i'm out of luck then. (and, obviously, will never buy anything from slitherin ever again) Why did they choose to go the vulkan route when it excludes millions of users?

looks like my system can't work with the vulkan drivers. Had tested a friend's copy and it was fine, but wasn't the latest stuff, so would have been using openGL.

How can I get a refund?

So, bought the bundle, installed it all. 102, 1.05, 1.07

activated every module.

pressed 'play'.


vulkan-1.dll error. nice. fix please.
