I got outsmarted by the computer last night in a game of Starcraft. Unfortunately, I don't think it struggled to do so.
We've all been there. Well I know I have, many a time.
Nope, the computer cheated
Yeah, yeah.
While I was attacking the enemy ships, the computer cloaked all their ships and destroyed my attacking fleet. After playing so many times I already know that the cloaking technology was not available for another 150 turns. Now, the computer ships were already behind in their weapon tech so how the hell were they able to cloak?
Maybe the game you were playing just has very advanced AI and has learned how to outsmart you. You call it cheating, it calls it adapting.
