can you togle off total military control of the units?

I like this mo:steamthumbsup:d, the AI can be very challenging. Although the strehngth of the AI seems kinda random at times. There are games when I get absolutely stomped and there are games when the AI doesnt really do much.
So I would like to see more consistency, I do use recommended settings. All in all, I experience no crashes and the strategies can be versatile and the AI does creat counters.

Thanks for your effort, I do enjoy playing with this AI!:steamthumbsup:

Thank you so much for a great AI, just a question, is there a way to edit your AI to forbid it from razing its own walls? I'm using your AI in a scenario, and the AI suddenly tears down its own walls, one piece at a time. AFAIK it's because it thinks it needs to make room for building, but it kinda messes with the balance of my scenario :p. Any help?

Am I doing something wrong with this mod? I tried going up against it on the hardest difficulty and it resigned after my first attack on their territory

the games Ai managed the economy so nice...and Resonance was always sending villagers to cutting wood on the back of the other 2 ai's camps/towns and got killed in the process...it was unexpected that the AOE2 HD Ai to win over the other 2...I thought the fight will be between the BruteForce and ResonanceBot...LOL...funny...because both ai cheat and the onlu honest one was the one who won...karma...LOL
dan5tr4n63r 17 Mar, 2020 @ 2:11pm 
LOL...i just let a game play in "spectator" mode on hardest and 200pop...with 3 AIs...the HD AI(the game),the ResonanceBot 5-1C and this one the BruteForce...the game AI beat them both despite being weak at first...on a random map...and used the Huns(no house required) for all 3 AIs...in fact this BruteForce Ai even collected 4 relics and had the lead in score the half of the game(the other was lead by ResonanceBot 5-1C)...I noticed a few things...this Ai was having constant messages like CPB of 99 something...it was also making a lot of farms with no mill in between...don't know if is normal...
michael.brelage 15 Mar, 2020 @ 2:14pm 
can you set how many castles the opponent builds? because in one game the opponent has built 55 castles.... i think its too much. is it possible to set this?
SouL 15 Mar, 2020 @ 5:21am 
Does the AI migrate to other islands? My problem is that they run out of resources mid-game as I prefer to fight Naval battles.
snewdnil 29 Feb, 2020 @ 7:08pm 
hmmm, i found a bug but im not sure if this happened because of this mod or if it is the game itself. i tried to replicate this just using the normal AIs but without success.

can you try to debug to check this?

to replicate:
1. create a standard game
2. set a treathy lenght
3. start the match with (you, normal ai and the brute force ai)
4. try to build a house within the protected area
5. game crash

Best AI Mod

Are you using the AI point of view? I don't think you can enable taunt 200 from the AI's point of view.
Cyberlisk 26 Jun, 2019 @ 12:24am 
Whenever I type "200" it comes out as "0" in the chat log
CheeseOnToast  [author] 26 Jun, 2019 @ 12:07am 
Cyberlisk 25 Jun, 2019 @ 8:36pm 
I will post a recording. I followed all instructions you gave others but when I type 200 i get no responce. 6v2 mode does work though.
CheeseOnToast  [author] 25 Jun, 2019 @ 7:59pm 
You should get a chat message back, make sure the AI is set to hardest, on difficulties below hardest, I don't think it will work.
Cyberlisk 25 Jun, 2019 @ 6:28am 
Is the AI supposed to respond or give some sort of indication that Chaos mode is on , because when I followed your below instructions , it seemed to make no difference and I got no indication Chaos mode worked.
CheeseOnToast  [author] 12 May, 2019 @ 2:33pm 
Glad to hear you are enjoying playing with and against BruteForce :D
Cocolars 10 May, 2019 @ 12:03pm 
hi cheese , my brother and i play against your AI just about everyday, and we are both big fans of expecially the HD version.. we love how it builds huge amount of castles on custom scenarious and huge armys also :) thanks and keep up the good work :)
CheeseOnToast  [author] 1 Feb, 2019 @ 1:03pm 
If I had time/motivation I would probably add more strategies to BruteForce but right now the HD AI engine is too limited so there's no point making many flavours when you can't get vanilla right.

I feel BruteForceHD is weaker than BruteForce but it's been awhile since I played with/against them. The last update for BruteForce was in 2017. If there is a demand for BruteForce updates I would make them but I would probably start the AI again from the ground up so it's cleaner to work with.
shinuito 1 Feb, 2019 @ 11:48am 
@Cardis, do you generally have a problem with ai's or? I saw you recently slated Resonance22's ai as well. You can try adjusting the difficulty if that helps?
<<c:ardis>> 1 Feb, 2019 @ 11:44am 
This AI is pure cancer. It always sets a rally point in the base of one of the opponents and keeps spamming neverending trash towards that point until the opponent surrenders. Somehow it is also capable of overrunning you with plumed archers even though you have about 150 huscarls, 20 skirmishers and 2 castles on the battlefield and you are building huscarls as reinforcements in 7 barracks. In addition, the HD version is broken. It often fails to surrender. One time, I destroyed every building and every unit of it and it surrendered randomly about 10 mins after that.

the commands didn't work, the AI didn't respond in our 2vs1 game on hardest difficulty when we chat 63 & 200, using Bruteforce HD on Aoe HD. Despite writing the commands, the AI resigned
RicharddrahciR91(NL) 2 Nov, 2018 @ 6:40pm 
Which Bruteforce is better? The normal Bruteforce or the Brutefore HD?
Ragnarr Loðbrók 2 Nov, 2018 @ 10:56am 
well thanks now i know why it didn't worked the first time, i used the BruteforceHD (which seems to not respond on 200) Brutforce did respond
CheeseOnToast  [author] 2 Nov, 2018 @ 6:10am 
Click the Trumpet icon in the top right
Check BruteForce in chat
Type 200 and press Enter
Chaos Mode should be enabled.
Ragnarr Loðbrók 2 Nov, 2018 @ 2:19am 
How to enable chaos mode?

* 200: Enables cheating on Hard difficulty (HD only) On Hardest, allows you to enable Chaos Mode. <--- it allows me to enable chaos mode but there is nowhere written HOW :(
gordoncch 20 Oct, 2018 @ 8:37am 
HD is not working
Facepalm Full O' Napalm 10 Sep, 2018 @ 12:02pm 
I'd imagine the HD version would be tougher, especially on Hard and hardest.
JuanPablodaSilva2002 28 Aug, 2018 @ 7:01am 
There are Bruteforce and Bruteforce HD.Which is stronger?
f12vrr 11 Aug, 2018 @ 4:25pm 
they built ships, but not farms.......
C0nquistad0ra<3 30 Jul, 2018 @ 5:12am 
how i can download it?
Normally Ky 16 Jul, 2018 @ 2:57pm 
Bruteforce is a nice AI but I think it'd be better if it didn't list what it was doing...
Eon 15 Jul, 2018 @ 9:19am 
I love this AI! It runs out of steam sometimes and just sits in its base without attacking until it loses. Any fix?
Zasso 7 Jul, 2018 @ 1:54pm 
It is still a great AI and I am very thankful for all the work CheeseOnToast put into it.
The issues I think are mostly from things missing in the base game, like features which were in the user patch but not in the HD version.
What I'm hoping is that with the DE version coming up those things will finally be fixed and implemented, and that we'll see a resurgance in AI development for AoE2.
But I'm hoping that's not just a dream...

MladoTouan 4 Jun, 2018 @ 7:39am 
Original Bruteforce is stronger than ResonanceBot, yes, which is great.
But BruteforceHD is broken and uselessly weak as a result, too bad.
Krico 14 May, 2018 @ 9:17am 
Buena IA.
edwardalbee 28 Apr, 2018 @ 7:06pm 
Is this AI stronger than Resonnance22's Custom AI?
UndueSafe 29 Mar, 2018 @ 12:16pm 
Definitely works!!!:steamhappy:
Mittens 20 Nov, 2017 @ 6:40pm 
So I've been having an issue with this. Simple 1v1 deathmatch on black forest, but after a while it just resigns out of the blue. I've been trying to use taunt *63 to stop it but nothings working. Just to make sure, all I need to do is type in "63" to the chatbox, right? I'm not too sure how taunt commands work. :P
Ex 19 Nov, 2017 @ 1:31pm 
Just tried a few games with some friends against both versions of the BruteForce AI and it doesn't seem to be working right anymore - it used to put up a helluva fight and this time it didn't seem to know to progress through the ages.
8600 17 Nov, 2017 @ 4:26am 
This AI seems to be weak after the first game, and I wonder what happened.
DragonPlus12 29 Sep, 2017 @ 2:57pm 
this AI is good, but want destroy all also walls ecc, if i do a wonder i win easy, you can fix this?
Maennchen 18 Sep, 2017 @ 4:24am 
Why does the Ally-AI often nothing and let the player complete alone at hardest? Attack commando will be ignored too. Is this a bug or normal playstyle or is it a feature to have a 4v1 (and not 4v4)?
asuka-chan 13 Sep, 2017 @ 9:29pm 
AI piled up resources in the thousands but didn't build out or click up.

Very far behind Resonances22's AI.
KrimsonFrag 29 Apr, 2017 @ 7:18am 
This item is not installing properly. I get a disk write error on one of the files under Brutal2 AI folder
Gilgamesh 27 Apr, 2017 @ 9:43am 
one silly question what is different about the normal and the HD
