Cossacks 3 Message Board  

I am wondering if the effects are doing the same for the AI?
I am playing 4 AI, all impossible and this one AI creamed the other 3 and I can barely keep up. I have 1000's and queue and the AI has like 25% of the whole screen as armies.
Resources are set to low as well. I look and only see about a dozen homes. But like I said the AI is spitting them out as fast as me if not faster. If I had to guess I would say it had 3500 troops.
I am not playing the campaign mode.
Anyone else notice this?
FYI: I have not got the new trainer released today.

I am grabbing the new patch and trainer now. Not that it seems worth doing though according to the patch notes.

The AI may be programmed to keep up with what you are doing, especially at the higher difficulty levels.

That does make sense. I thought it was still bound by rules like how many troops allowed per house for example. But hey, what do I know lol

I mean, it might not be for sure, but we have seen this kind of behavior in many other games where people accused the trainer of aiding the AI when we knew it wasn't possible.

update about the "big patch"

16.09.23 FIXES

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Many reported bugs, related to random crashes (Access violation error, from several minutes of gameplay to hours) are most of times caused by Windows DEP settings. Active DEP may also lead to poor performance.

On newer Windows versions and updates, Microsoft disallow applications to add themselves in to DEP exception list.

This can be bypasses by running game once "As an administrator". to allow game to register app into DEP exceptions list.
To do this, go to Steam Cossacks3 folder, usually:
C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Cossacks 3\
Press right-click on cossacks.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator". This is needed only once.

Or you can manually disable DEP or add game in to exception list using windows tools and commands.

- Cannons and howitzers was unable to attack ships and units through walls. Which lead to problems in completing some missions
- Building gates and opening them no longer lead to crash
- Game now make deep check if you got DEP set to critical setting, that won't allow game to work properly. and it will show you warning message.

*repeat* provide savegame where coal is not working.

i have send a tutorial savegame for cossacks 3 to chris@cheathappens.com and by means of this post with attach file.

Something weird is definitely going on here.
Downloaded the new patch and using the new trainer now.
I create a town hall and make 1 peasant.
It comes out with 50 HP / 20 Pike Attack / 0 Defense.
I do another one and comes out same way.
I highlight one of the peasant I made and select G H I for Unit Super HP Attack Defense.
I look at the peasant again and don't see anything for HP and 100000 for Attack and Defense.
I do CTRL + H to disable trainer. I then go to town hall and create a peasant.
It comes out with 50 HP and 100000 Attack and Defense. I said to myself that's weird.
I save the game and exit game and trainer. I then load only the game.
I create a peasant and it comes out 50 HP and 100000 Attack and Defense.
Another thing I am noticing is that my troops are getting killed now with one hit even though they are Super HP. So basically a peasant is now walking by my elite horseman and killing it with one it. My dragoons fire from a distance and die immediately. I think this is happening on all my units that I have used Super HP Attack Defense on.
My towers get hit one time with a cannon and they explode. And they have Super Building on them. I am not to sure what the deal here is yet. I noticed something strange the the previous trainer, but the recent one is even more noticeable.

I am going to do more testing though.
