Strategy & Replays / Re: Am I supposed to be able to beat the CPU? 'Cuz I can't.

This really makes no sense. Sometimes I can handle 7 opponents without much danger, other times they rush me before I even get 4 grunts trained, every color at once. Setting resources to high might actually make things worse. I can't really tell though, since there is no predictability to the computer's actions. I've seen one build like 5 blacksmiths before.

Maybe the enemies got clogged up until I triggered some. But it must have been around 12 of them stormed my settlement after wiping the grunts. I don't remember seeing anything but ogres.

I feel like I'm getting better now, probably because I'm making more barracks. I need to work on my scouting, catapult handling, and eventually towering. But the CPU doesn't build towers in my settlement, so I guess not much to be learned there.

Yeah, I'm pretty good at keeping the peons moving and the barracks training, it might be something about build order or upgrade order. Last time I built a barracks, then a blacksmith, then did all the upgrades and built a lumber mill, then upgraded archers and started building them... then I went scouting with my grunts, 18 of them, but they ran into a swarm of bloodlust ogres and got wiped. Did that make them attack my town faster?

Every time I play the default scenario, Gold Separates, I lose embarrassingly. I don't seem to be improving much. Other scenarios I tried that say "2 players" are laughably easy, I don't know if they ever really build up or attack. Is there any middle ground where I can get a decent challenge, but not be guaranteed to lose every time? I tried playing the campaigns without saving, but eventually hit a wall with levels that I simply can't beat. I beat all the campaigns before, but only by save scumming.

Is being good at hotkeys required? I wanted to play this like a casual game, but it makes me rush everything, it's kinda unforgiving. Only recently did I start using hotkeys, but they're all over the place so it's hard to use them without looking away from the screen. So in short, I'm a whiny little b**** who needs to get better, but how? Losing a billion times? Maybe, but when I build up from scratch and have it torn down in 2 minutes, I feel sad.
