I'm not sure if its different on lower difficulties because I havent played anything lower than commander yet. I've confirmed myself several times that the AI deliberately beelines for you.
it's like you get tier 3 and you've suddenly turned on god mode. Then entire thing becomes easy mode as you get the AWC staffed wounds are short timed and then tier 3 gear allows you to destroy multiple pods in a single turn w/o breaking a sweat. omniscient clairvoyant bs.Ĭombine that with their unprecidented mobility and they will regularly suicide rush you for a flank shot because they are programmed to give you injuries, even if that means that suicidal alien dies immediately next turn. How do they cheat? We get the sound feature that points towards the enemies. you will consistently notice that the ai will path away from you if you are prepared, and it will path into you if you are not fully prepared. try pushing forward in a less than 100% preparedness state.
scout out a patrol (or 2-3 overlapping which is common later on, which is when i tested this myself).
