[BUG] Insane AI General Minions

from Demigod Forums

I was playing a slaughter vs AI.

Me as regulus vs Oak, Rook and QoT insane AI [1v3].

I was laming it up with mines on the middle flag to test if the AI would avoid it after a while (no reason to think it would, no reason to think it wouldn't; they didnt...]

All throughout the game it was easy enough for me... But once QoT hit lvl 20 her minions (totems and shamblers) just went ubermode:

they had ridiculous health (bishops had 6.9k and shamblers 4.5k). more armour than the QoT herself (i was hitting them for less; 350 or so on QoT and 200-250 on the minions)

Attacked considerably faster than me (i'd say 1/4 to 1/3 faster) [I had cloak of flames, lvl 20 and full stat boost ability line]

Did 250-300 damage on me (i had 2k+ armour)

I litterally couldn't solo a single minion with auto attack, the shamblers also moved faster than me (i didnt have any movement speed items IIRC). Basically each minion was equivalent to an amazingly well equipped autoattacking lvl 20 demigod...

I tried QoT afterwards to see if i could replicate this but with the +20% minion HP favour item shamblers were at just under 1.5k health and far lower damage output/speed.

When this occured Oak's minions were not affected, just QoT's

I assume this is a bug, if not then how do i do it and why isnt it nerfed yet :P

I've also noticed nightmare generals becoming rather insane in power at lvl 20. I played against a UB and my 450-470 range attacks were hitting him for 95. I kited him back to my life regen crystal in base, where I managed to defeat him after 2 minutes of fighting. Every 15 seconds or so I had to stop attacking the UB or be killed by his reflect damage, which hit me for 75 damage every time I hit him for 95, and that damage added to his normal attacks did more damage than the crystal healed me.

I too have been swarmed by Nightmare Minions.  Everyone talks about Sedna and QoT, so I've been playing some Oak lately just to be different.  1v1 against Nightmare AI isn't too difficult as I can mostly just stay away from him and attack the towers.  (Against Nightmares that level much faster than you, you can't really go head to head with them.)  I've figured that the Nightmares usually hit level 20 around when I get to level 15.  I don't really have a way to check, I'm just making an educated guess.  Anyway, around that time, the Oak starts hunting me.

His minions kill me in seconds while he takes virtually no damage at all.  Even if I hit him with a max level Pentinance, he just tanks through everything.  Even once I hit level 20 myself, he utterly annihilates me.  I've been sitting at my healing crystal being swarmed by the Oak and his minions.  They seriously kill me faster than the crystal heals me, and he just casually sits there tanking damage from multiple towers, creeps, and myself.  He dies eventually, but not before the army attacking my Citadel has done enough damage.

I have also been engaged in epic combat with a single one of Sedna's yetis.  You know, me and 8 yetis against one yeti.  How long should it take for that thing to die?  I mean, seriously!  Sedna wasn't even nearby to give it healing auras.  Similarly, even with Magnificent Presance and the armor that buffs minions health, the only way I can keep yetis on the field is by continunally summoning them.  Sure, they are by far the most robust minion in the game, but I can never get them that strong.

I believe I read somewhere that Nightmares get a significant gold and experience multiplier.  Do they also get a health/armor/damage multiplier?

From what i've played its pretty obvious Nightmare A.I "cheat" - (Like Random_Guy said they get more experience and gold etc.)

I guess thats why they are called Nightmare :D
