I had a feeling this game cheated...

  • There are 2 ways that the AI DOES cheat, but thankfully one of the bugs is abusable by you too! It's just you don't have as many countdowns as the AI.

    1. When countdown are processed, it starts from the top row and goes left to right, decreasing each counter by 1. If a countdown goes off and drops another countdown below it, that one countdown can be processed twice that turn, decreasing the counter by 2 in one turn. It is conceivable that if multiple counters go off, a counter could be reduced 3 times in a single turn.

    2. Some of the AI abilities are not documented properly. For example, Mutant Empiricist's Iso-8 Conversion also converts Blue tiles to Pink. I always forget this every time and nearly end up losing a match every time this event comes up because of this! "Eh, it's just a heal, I'll let it go off."


    But yeah, I'm going to agree with user error.
  • My new years resolution was to stay off these boards, YALL ARE A BUNCH OF WITCH HUNTERS.
    Glad i broke my resolution to see this filth on the boards.

    Sorry for being tough on you. Once you've been on these forums long enough, the number of people who complain about the AI cheating giving the same logic that you did just tires you out over time. At least you weren't as bad as that guy who suggested that the devs deliberately programmed the tiles falling down in such a way to give the AI a slight advantage over you, sigh.
