At one point, you were talking about using Cyanide to test out team builds and said something like, "build the team, throw the game on hard mode and see how it goes." I have always heard that "hard" mode isn't the best setting to use on Cyanide and that "medium" is the better choice.
This is how I remember it:
In Hard mode, the A.I. will always cage up and attempt to march up the pitch, Dwarf-style, regardless of the team being used; even with Wood Elf and Skaven teams.
In Easy mode, the A.I. will play loose, throw more passes and not cage up.
In Medium mode, the A.I. will cage up when appropriate, or try to score quickly with the fast teams when appropriate.
Of course, the A.I. is still a poor decision-maker on Medium, but it at least behaves *more* appropriate to the given teams than it will on Hard. If someone else has heard differently, feel free to correct me. I have always played the game on Medium as a result of this info.
If Blood Bowl 2 featured 20+ teams and had truly improved A.I. I would buy it in a heartbeat. If it really does ship with only 8 teams, I'll be holding off until the inevitable expansion versions come out.
I look forward to more of your shows. Good stuff!
