Everytime one is distracted by building/ or completing a quest/or setting up on an another island a bloody sneaky saboteur is sneaking into a house.Sometimes they are that sneaky that you get a message saying the enemy henchman has completely vanished! Any other games that you may have noticed with built in cheats? Seriously,this is just for fun:)

Kind of hard pressed to come up with a game that doesn't have cheats for the AI characters.

NOW THERE IS A TOPIC!

I am racking my brain on this as well. Some games obviously more than others, but I'm having trouble coming up with anything that doesn't cheat at least a little.

Of course the A1 has always had advantages but I'm looking at the funnier ones and sometimes just plain annoying.

Empire Earth. The AI are notorious resource cheats in it, to the point that it is impossible to fight a war of attrition with them like in other RTSs.

Swat 4 which I'm currently playing. Who would've thought that every single criminal ever is a crack shot??

The old Heroes of Might & Magic. Like the 3, where the AI always had the teleport spell and thus could do an annoying guerilla warfare

Most games played on the hardest setting are nearly impossible to win because of the advantages they have and to mention a couple is the Heroes of Might and Magic series.There you are smug in your castle and this all mighty army arrives and thrashes you.

There was this thread the_most_annoying_legit_things_that_ai_opponents_do.

There's a difference between simple modifiers and out right cheating.

I know with Stellaris, it's a simple modifier like a +20% to something.

With (And I can never remember which is which) either Empire Earth or Age of Empires, all of the sudden, the AI has an unlimited number of nukes that they start dropping like crazy.

I recently beat AM2R (Another Metroid 2 Remake) and just like a lot of bosses I've fought, they are invulnerable to the spike traps which I conveniently fall into.

I guess it could be considered a common way for bosses to cheat is to have an attack that hits you no matter what and you have to kill them before they do such an attack otherwise you die instantly.
