There have been a number of threads on the topic, but their titles aren’t exactly indicative of it really. Also they get intermingled with the AI “luck” factor threads. Here are a couple, but there are more, just look for threads that seem to have a “rantish” kind of title and you’ll probably find them 😉 > [@Is it just me has difficult been drastically increased since the update?](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/is-it-just-me-has-difficult-been-drastically-increased-since-the-update/26958): > > Since the latest update (the move to Unity), I have been losing far more frequently than I expect, especially in PVP. I seem to be getting less mana surges, the opponent seem to get much more chaining combos of 4+ gems, and stats seem higher than they used to be. I notice there is/are threads concerning stats on GW being different (and so much harder on PC), but the difficulty seems to have increased on ALL battles. Or is it just me? > [@So how is everyone experiencing the console cascades?](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/so-how-is-everyone-experiencing-the-console-cascades/26097): > > They haven’t switched to gem creation not overwriting existing colored gems, but the rest of the console code is here. Including the AI making 1 move and then 5 to 10 others stumble in after it. Thought it was just me, then saw the same thing happen when my wife was playing. I’m not starting an argument about it, I’ve said my peace slight_smile But how is everyone experiencing it? Are you seeing/feeling the change, or missing it because the gems are flying at x4 speed slight_smile For m… > [@LukeRules539](#): > > And also, I am no expert so feel free to explain but after realising this nerf was too much, why can’t they just change it back? I’m sure there must be a reason otherwise it would have been sorted by now I would imagine so I’d be curious to know. I don’t know the exact reasons, but it started from the move to Unity, and shifting to the same base as console. Something hear caused an issue where gem spawns were matching almost every time. I believe because they weren’t overwriting their own colour, or dual spawners weren’t overwriting any of their possible colours (eg blue/brown wouldn’t overwrite blue or brown, even with the other colour) but I’m not 100%, I don’t use gem spawners much myself, and never really have. So to counter this the spawners were nerfed. As to why they can’t go back? Honestly I’m not sure, but I’m guessing it has to do with how the code interacts between Unity and AdobeAIR (which mobile is still on). Unity never had the AdobeAIR code, and it might be difficult to replicate that code in Unity, hence why we can’t go back to what it used to be. Maybe we could go back to what console had/has, but I’m not sure how that code would interact with AdobeAIR and Mobile since it never existed there in the first place. These are all my own speculations however. EDIT: > [@InquisitorKane](#): > > Right now I am at the stage of data gathering for this. I am writing down games and how many each side gets 4/5 matches from gem spawning or from cascading. So far AI is in favour, but I recorded only about 10 games so that’s not even close. But soon I will come back with the results, just gimme time 😉 I’m really interested in seeing these figures when you finish them, I’m a sucker for numbers 😉 Which reminds me, I’ve got my own AI Kerb numbers to continue to gather on… EDIT2: Looks like @Mithran sniped me with a similar post as I was typing. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/ai-gem-spawning/27232)._
