I don't mind the AI being a bit challenging, but I don't like when it's so blablantly cheating. I feel like I'm playing DnD with a guy that constantly "remembers" that lost family artefact that protects him from having his perfect half-elf character with a 5-pages long backstory getting shanked in the testicles.
Other than that, the game is okay, even through the pathfinding is sometimes pretty shitty.

Are all /vr/ RTS plagued with cheating AI and strange pathfinding? I don't remember Empire Earth's pathfinding being so bad.
And don't get me started on Warlords Battlecry.
