As @Sirrian had mentioned, during our [2.1.5 Update](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/console-2-1-5-patch-notes/16683), we updated the AI only on console. To explain how it changed, check out this post which breaks down how the AI system works on console compared to pre 2.1.5, and how it differs from the current PC/Mobile version of the game.

> Hey @RyuuHou24 and everyone else, I can confirm that we did change the AI in our last Console 2.1.5 as stated in the patch notes. I’m not sure we have ever misled anyone about this, but I cannot comment for before we took over development of the game. There were issues with the AI system which was in the console version before 2.1.5, which was getting some complaints on the forums. While looking into this code, there was sections where it would first check for a 4 of a kind, then a skull match…

Update 2.1.5 also introduced the Defense Gem Sliders, which allow players to customize their AI according to what they thought would fit well with their Defense Team. This could explain why the AI decided to avoid the skull match, as your opponent may have changed their sliders to either favor the color that it selected, or pulled down the skull preference to stop players from skull baiting.

As Sirrian had mentioned, if any of the team has mentioned that the AI is the same on Console and PC/Mobile (since Infinity Plus Two took over Console development), then we do apologize.
