    I have thought about this conspiracy myself. There are things that are known, such as: the AI will make a match 4 even if it is to their detriment. Maybe they only need 2 more blacks for a RotP and there is a black match sitting there waiting, but they match up the purple (which the team doesn't even use) because there are 4 of them and they can't resist. Or maybe they shouldn't match the 4 because it is setting me up for an epic move, but... AI is completely unable to resist.


    It seems to me that I have seen the AI NOT match 4 as I expected, but do a different move, because it knew that the resulting cascade coming from tiles in the sky (in other words, us mere humans can't see them) will land and make a match 4. I swear that I have also seen this with crit tiles, where I think "What a fool, why didn't he* use the crit tile?" only to watch in dismay as tiles fall from the heavens and magically match up with the crit tile.


    Of course, I'm not recording my games, and everything happens so fast I can't be 100% sure that any of this stuff happens. That's why I referred to is as a conspiracy.

    *I'm not sure if you are supposed to call the AI "He" "She" or "It", but I always think of it as "He". Probably because he is so inherently foolish.

    It's a bit puzzling that they made the AI dumber so it wouldn't beat players overwhelmingly, but then they go and do stuff like making the enemy level cap at 395 and giving Ares goons that feed him green.

    The aim is to enable people to win some battles and to make them progressively harder through scaling. Ideally the winners would be the people who could overcome the toughest enemies, not the people who adhere to a sleep deprivation ritual. It's still very much a work in progress.

    WIth goons feeding Ares green, normally you just need to stun Ares and the goons will start spending the green on their own abilities. Additionally using characters that drain AP make those nodes easier. It forces you to use tactics beyond your 3 best characters if you want to be able to beat the nodes well.
