Actually it is, you're supposed to be fighting a single opponent, worse still is that if you (or another AI) attack the territory and fail they will likly have made at least one other base meaning:
The first attempt was difficult,
The second impossible.

You do have a point. What I'm calling cheating is when the game flat out breaks its own rules. In the examples I listed, there were some things that I noticed the game doing that are IMPOSSIBLE for the player to do. That is not fair.Velocity Eleven said:
Many people have pointed out that in RTS games the computer can control multiple units, which I would call the advantage of being a soulless machine, but building any unit regardless of resources and knowing everything about you no matter what are very cheap if not blatant cheating.
In other words, you can consider it cheating when the game breaks it own rules.
I see someone already mentioned Empire Earth and its cheating AI. Always knowing what your doing, where all your troops are, same units that are 3-5 times tougher then yours and the ability to build 2-3 times faster.
Another Cheating game would have to be the Blood Bowl games. The Dice roller cheats so bad its not even funny. Many times, I've had to roll anything but a 1 to complete a move and time and time again all I roll is a 1, and on top of that when using the Games re-roll ability I get the same result 9 times outta 10. The AI on the other hand seems to always roll 6's to do something.

The worst example of AI cheating i have ever seen is the higher difficulties on Civilization Revolution, where if there is even a single tile under fog of war anywhere near you, the AI will somehow spawn giant undefeatable armies in it, and this is on top of all the infinite resources, instant build times and instant research...
Jinpachi from Tekken 5 and Azazel from Tekken 6. FUCK YOU BOTH. Fuck your cheap-ass freeze moves followed by the almost auto-kill ranged attacks. These guys have every fighting game cheap move. From ranged attacks to health steals to freeze moves to fucking teleporting. At least with True Ogre from Tekken 3 you could actually dodge his fire attacks.
The Pokemon Battle Tower is a cheating prick too. Attacks with 100% accuracy miss. Need I say more?

Playing Fallout 3: I had a speech check of 21%. "Not bad," I thought, "a bit of reloading and I'll get it around my fifth try."
I counted: thirty-nine times before I passed it.

Jet Li's Rise to Honor. My god, the enemies would get you into a unblockable combo for a minute. Once finished, they start it up again and again and again!
Finally, someone else that understands how much of a cheating bastard FIFA 11 is. On Lengendary, they are faster, they use skill on you defence ALL. THE. TIME. All the decisions go their way as well. Try a Career Mode as a Spanish team, if you go within 5 yards of the AI's players, they get given a freekick. They are allowed to kick the everliving shit out of you though.Tanksie said:
Command and conquer 1.
You cant build structures which are not touching another one of yours, so I destroy an enemy base (absolutely everything, even the walls as you can build off of them) and what happens? THEY REBUILD IT. I turn my back for 2 minutes and the entire thing is back once again, it only stopped doing this when I covered the area with sentry towers.

The races in Brutal Legend. The opponent can knock you off course, completely ending any chance of winning, but you can't do anything to impede him. In fact, if you try to knock him to the side, he'll just pull a PIT maneuver and spin you around like a dreidel.
I played a game called Vanguard Bandits. It was one of those grid-based strategy games, think FFT. In a late mission, I was fighting an enemy and managed to fully fatigue him so that he was completely unable to react to attacks. He couldn't guard, try to evade or even counter. I used my main character's strongest attack which had a 100% chance to hit my foe. The screen switches to show our two units engaging in battle and I expect to watch the rather impressive attack murder yet another foe. What I got instead, was the completely defenseless enemy parrying my strongest attack. All this did was delay the inevitable, but it was still cheap.angry_flashlight said:
