Anyone done something similar or knows some similar mod?

I'd like to make a destructible gate for sieges. Best idea I have is making a custom troop with a gate model, which has like 5000 hitpoints and doesn't move.

So I'm wondering if something similar has already been done.

Currently, the enemy AI is the most dangerous, when they just blindly charge at me.

If they defend, they just stand around and wait for my crossbows to kill them, while their crossbows are wasting time and ammo on my shield guys.

If they attack, they often try to slowly flank me or something, but this also gives my crossbows time to kill them and they sometimes get bunched up and confused near the invisible wall (map border).

I changed the AI so that they always charge at me like bandits and it is better now, but this still means their cavalry and archers run ahead of infantry and get slaughtered by my crossbows first.

I already removed all athletics skill from archers, so they run slow

Both are between 200-300€ in my country, which is my target budget. (8gb/256gb variants)

The Xiaomi one seems to have a bit better processors, but Samsung one is promising 7 years of updates. Also I heard Samsung has better software in general and I don't know what to think of the HyperOS of Xiaomi.

Any recommendations?

The tablets I'm considering:

(I'm talking about PC and console games, not the hypercasual mobile games.)

Each new game has to compete not only with other new games, but also with old games. There are a lot of players, who are perfectly happy playing 10+ years old games. Skyrim, Counter-Strike, Runescape, Minecraft, Witcher 3... are still hugely popular.

A lot of players often replay old games and new players usually buy them at a discount.

Doesn't this mean that with each year, the market becomes more saturated and it becomes harder and harder for new games to compete resulting in fewer succesful game companies?

If I say to MS Copilot "Don't be an ass!", it doesn't start explaining to me that it's not a donkey or a body part. It doesn't take my message literally.

So if I tell an AGI to produce paperclips, why wouldn't it understand the same way that I don't want it to turn the universe into paperclips? This AGI turining into a paperclip maximizer sounds like it would be dumber than Copilot.

What am I missing here?

I'm making a 3rd person stealth game with a lot of shadows. My protagonist has a hood over his head and it's immersion breaking how when there's a light source to his side, the face is also illuminated because of light bleeding through the hood cloth.

I'm using dynamic lights (randomized level) and UE4 still, so no lumen.

Is there some typical fix for this? I can't be the first one who's ran into this problem.

Thanks!
