My 12 year old son and I got Warcraft III Battlechest for Christmas, and we've been playing/learning it a bit this weekend. We've only played 1.5 games against each other so far -- he won once, our LAN disconnected once. But we've both played against the computer maybe half a dozen times each.
I suspect the computer is a cheating bastard. It has beaten me every time, no matter what strategy I try.
My son wins his battles against the computer, and he has sat down to watch/advise/direct me in my games, but he is surprised at the computer's "skill" when watching me. But -- he usually plays in easy mode, and he saw I was playing in normal mode.
So, since this is an old game, I figure there are several folks here who have played Warcraft III, and may know whether this is a case of the computer cheating. It really, really seems to us that it has to be. It has too many troops, higher level, tougher and more damaging compared to my best effort. It just doesn't seem right.
Or am I just a sucky RTS player?
