Gang Up on the Human	comment	In many games which feature human-like AI opponents, those players usually gang up on the human player(s). Even if it would be to their advantage to attack each other, they'll go for the human player every time. Can be an effect of Spiteful A.I. or Artificial Atmospheric Actions (ie, enemies attack each other but then suddenly start attacking you when there's no reason to). This is usually done to discourage the player from hiding and letting the computer players weaken each other and swoop in for easy kills, or to compensate for weaker AI where a true free-for-all would give the human player too much of an advantage. Also, in a deathmatch that scores by kills made, having the AI gang up on you is preferable to them staying away from you because you are in the lead so the AI players can catch up. Done well, it can add a layer of strategic planning as the player will have to do more than just spam attacks to win. Done poorly, and it will feel like Fake Difficulty due to how many enemies will swarm the player at once. Naturally enough, this trope can also be inverted when multiple humans play in a free-for-all and gang up on the AI before dealing with each other. The video game inversion of Enemy Civil War. Compare No Zombie Cannibals. Not to be confused with Anti-Human Alliance.

Gang Up on the Human / int_11fd6993	comment	inFAMOUS on the evil route, as both the police and the bad guys are out to get you, and it's not rare to beat down the police in the streets only to have to deal with a rooftop sniper right afterwards, who didn't seem to be shooting when he could've hit the police. Justified in that an evil superhero really is much more dangerous to both sides. On the other hand, regardless of your karma, you'll sometimes run into two different gangs beating the hell out of each other, and only the nearest ones will attack you. There's even a side mission to stop a gang war; if you want, you can just let them fight it out and then mop up the leftovers.

Gang Up on the Human / int_12381dc	comment	Zig-zagged in Divinity: Original Sin II. MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois encounters are uncommon, but not unheard of by any means: On one hand, sometimes when a third party interrupts the fight or is part of the encounter, the AI will generally prioritise you - but it might on occasion go after each other if it's closer. A notable aversion happens in the Final Boss fight - wherein it turns into a MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois between you, the White Magisters, and Braccus Rex and the Black Ring. Any Magisters still alive into this phase will actually go after the third side, while the third side will happily chew through any Magisters who get in their way (However, they prioritise you first and foremost.)

In the first game there is even an arena where the final battle is a 'free for all'â€¦ but the other combatants all start near each other and far from you, causing them to kill or severely wound each other before you can even make it to them.

Gang Up on the Human / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: If you're fighting against multiple computer opponents without explicitly setting teams beforehand, they actually ally with each other and proceed to throw endless waves of doom down your throat. This is actually somewhat pragmatically done in the original Terran Campaign. The second to last level involves a three-way between the Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss, in which you, the Terrans, will lose if the Zerg lose even one building, even if it's an easily replaceable defense colony. The Protoss and Zerg do not attack each other, in fact, the odd Protoss will actually walk through the Zerg base to get to you. It's not so irritating though, because the Protoss hardly attack at all (they're down to their bare basics on the tech tree) and it'd be even more of a pain to defend the Zerg bases while they're trying to kill you if the Protoss too were trying to kill them. Sure they suck, but they'd probably get a lucky building kill and screw you over. The Emperor's Flight level of the Brood War Terran campaign averts this. It's the simplest level in the entire game, because the computer-run Protoss and Zerg forces are too busy fighting each other to launch that many attacks against the player-run Terrans. The fact that this is a very dull and unchallenging level probably highlights the reason why this trope exists. In skirmish mode, setting immutable teams beforehand will have the AI partner up with you, if that's what you set. (They're marginally helpful, but the AI really does not understand teamwork AT ALL.) In "Melee" Mode, it's Humans VS Computers, no exceptions. In "Free For All" Mode, it's every man (or AI) for him/her/itself, and the computers will happily frag each other into oblivion. In fact, by default the scenario editor doesn't even let you sort yourself into the same team as an AI player if you don't use triggers.

Gang Up on the Human / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: In all of the games, your job is (usually) to take out a large wyvern or something similar. However, there are often normally peaceful animals (such as pig-like things) that will, should they be attacked by the boss monster (or even hit by a gust of wind), turn on the players, charging into them and knocking them down. In Tri at least, you can occasionally see an attacked peaceful monster turn on the wyvern instead of the player, but if it leaves the range then the monster will turn on you instead. One mission in Monster Hunter 4 tasks the player with hunting a Gypceros and a Nerscylla. Both will readily gang up on you even though Nerscyllas generally not only kill and eat Gypceroses, but wear their skins too. One of the features in Monster Hunter: World is that some monsters will actually fight each other through a feature called the "Turf War". Some monsters will see another monster, and then decide to attack each other. However, once that's over, they'll forget that they just attacked a rival monster (or a rival monster attacked them) and will go right back to attacking the player. Bazelguese is especially bad about this.

Gang Up on the Human / int_1d7b02b7	comment	Total War: Warhammer II is notorious amongst some players for this - the AI nations not only prioritize the player as their primary war target, but they actively disregard hostile armies and even enemies laying siege to their settlements just that they can torch and loot a minor settlement deep in your lands. Made especially jarring sinze the AI knows exactly where your armies are positioned and how far they can move, thus rendering the AI capable of calculating the most efficient way to screw with human players, not to mention that usually as the game progresses, the player will find themselves warring on every single front as far-off enemy nations declare war and call in your neighbours to join against you. Only when the endgame is triggered does the AI finally shift it's attention to the pressing matter of an invading chaos army. After that, business as usual.

They also juggle their aggressiveness, becoming much more aggressive in the second lap and much less aggressive in the final one, which they do by changing priorities from "everyone equally" (lap 1) to "prioritize the player" (lap 2) to "prioritize each other" (lap 3) — this is to put the screws to the player in the second lap and make them work hard to hold the lead, but then back off and make a first-place victory plausible.

Gang Up on the Human / int_2192aeb3	comment	In the Fire Emblem series: Justified in some games that have maps with Thieves and Bandits joining in the fight. They usually don't attack the player character(s) unless they get in their way and/or are provoked, and enemies won't attack them - because they're pretending to be on the enemy's side. In Fire Emblem: Awakening, you can do "Paralogues," which are auxiliary stories to the main narrative. In the paralogue to recruit Panne's son Yarne, you happen upon two rival bands of mercenaries who've been feuding over an area for a while before the Shepherds(i.e. your army) arrives. You're given the option of allying yourselves with either faction, or neither, and if you pick the third option, both teams forget their enmity and will fight side by side if it means killing you and your friends. In Fire Emblem Fates, there's two DLC maps involving the Hoshido and Nohr royal families that are effectively the same in execution: the siblings are all competing for something (a beach trip in Beach Brawl, and to share their power with another world's Corrin in Royal Royale), and the pseudo-story implies that it's going to be essentially a free-for-all, each sibling and their retainers against the other seven groups. Instead, it's whichever sibling you chose and his/her two retainers against all twenty-one other units, who will go out of their way to assist another of the computer-controller siblings. In addition, there are two chapters in the Revelation route (6 and 13) where Hoshido and Nohr duke it out with you caught in the middle; you'd expect them to fight each other as well as you, but it's everyone against poor Corrin. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the first chapter theoretically ends in a three-way showdown between the house you picked and the two you didn't, but in practice it's everyone against you. Whichever side attacks you depends on where your forces move, but both factions ignore each other in favor of going after you; for example, at the start of the scenario, two members of the house to the northwest and one member of the one to the northeast will advance on you and ignore each other. This is particularly bizarre seeing that this game does have three-way battles and you do get a proper MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois between the houses later on in Chapter 7. Zig-zagged in the Xenologue Chapter 4 of Fire Emblem Engage. It's another MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois map in which Solmese and Elusian forces are fighting. By default, they go for each other and the player is the one sneaking in the advantage of the chaos to assassinate the two queens. However, they will attack the player if they get in their way.

Gang Up on the Human / int_26a33287	comment	A minor version occurs in Mount & Blade. In the arena melees, AI opponents will usually fight each other just as much as they fight you... but the moment you drop, they stop fighting and cheer. It's like, "okay, he's out, we can stop pretending to be hostile now." This was fixed in newer versions of the game. Also in arena fights, once you start winning, the remaining enemies will often cease fighting altogether just to charge you, and ignore any opportunity to hit each other. On the campaign map, factions who you are out war with are programmed to prioritize sacking player-owned fiefs. It's not a particularly uncommon sight to see a massive enemy army marching halfway across Calradia and past dozens of wealthy settlements just to get at your lone, recently-acquired backwater.

Basically, once your clan controls about 15 provinces (out of 65), every other clan will ally against you. You're given a severe diplomatic penalty, meaning your former allies will abandon you and you'll be unable to establish trade relations, killing your economy. To make matters worse, the clans allied against you will be given large stacks of veteran units every turn. To add insult to injury, AI players never trigger Realm Divide, no matter how many territories they own.

On the other hand, the alien will just as happily kill any other humans it happens to find, and throwing a noisemaker into a group of hostile humans is a perfectly viable way to get it to distract or get rid of them for you. On the other other hand, the alien will prioritize chasing after the player first and foremost depending on difficulty, and may wander into a group of humans trying to find you and not even notice until it's decided it's lost your trail.

Gang Up on the Human / int_3cb580c	comment	While it may seem that Space Empires suffers from this trope, it only sort of follows it; enemies are just as likely to go to war (or already be at war when you find them) with each other as they are with you, not to mention make alliances, all dependent on their diplomatic personalities. If, however, you're expanding out hugely and at all sides at once, it may SEEM like they're all targeting you, but that's only because you're the first alien species any of them have met and they don't have any other targets yet. There is an actual "all AI against all Human" setting, but it's disabled by default. Also, the AI doesn't do a very good job of estimating how dangerous a human player is; they can overestimate you if you do a lot of cheap research or underestimate you if you don't build as many ships and units. Either can lead to AI players thinking they should wipe you out before resolving their own differences. Finally, there's actually a hidden feature called the Mega Evil Empire: if any empire gets far enough past the second-ranking empire, everyone will gang up on them, declaring war on them and refusing all treaties. While active for both players and A.I.s, the AI can typically push their empire to a far greater margin of superiority (by default in SEIV, 250% of the second-ranking empire's score, compared to the human's 170%) before the entire galaxy turns on them. Also, it's not like you'll often see an AI run into this feature on their own in either case, given that most experienced players can run circles around the AI without giving it some extra bonuses.

Gang Up on the Human / int_49ad83ee	comment	Hostile creatures in World of Warcraft actually treat you and their current opponent the same way, basing it on the Threat system, though it's possible AI threat is reduced. It's just that the player is usually much more effective at dealing damage than the creatures, so you quickly exceed the threat posed by their other enemies. If one of them is particularly damaged, it's impossible to draw threat from them before the damage kills them (barring healing threat, high threat moves, and taunts.) In the Cataclysm expansion, there are a number of quests where creatures spawn into perpetual battle with other creatures or NPCs, which you are then required to kill. In many of these cases, they can whale on each other for hours but never deplete each others' health bars, but as soon as you deal a single point of damage, they come right for you. Even worse, though, is when they don't. If you kill a Restless Soldier or Restless Infantry ghost before hitting his opponent, the opponent will suddenly heal to full health — even if he's been below half health since he spawned.

Gang Up on the Human / int_56fa0ea4	comment	Computer players in Civilization: Revolutions never attack each other, so it's always a 4-on-1 game. A standard strategy is for at least 2 rivals to constantly attack you while they leave another alone to pursue a win condition, thus requiring the human to spend valuable resources securing his own borders instead of advancing. Civilization 4 also tends to see humans get diplomatically ostracized at a minimum, in part due to a design oversight. The diplomatic model gives relationship penalties if a nation refuses another nation's request or demand for help. The AI is also coded to never offer "impossible" deals to other nations, to avoid racking up needless penalties, but it can't tell in advance if human players will accept or reject any given offer. Therefore, the human players are the only ones who end up with these penalties, while A.I.s buddy-buddy up and eventually decide to take out the vile nation that refused to give them free handouts or help them in their wars of aggression. The setting â€œAlways Warâ€� is this trope in its purest form. No, it doesn't mean that everyone is at war with everyone. It just means that everyone is at war with you. Civ 5 inverts it on the two easiest difficulties, and plays it straight from Normal upwards. Also, their soldiers will be so advanced over you on the highest difficulties that they'll feel more biased than they really are. In Civ 1, there is apparently a flag that when the game reaches a certain year (1900 or thereabouts), all A.I.s will immediately declare war on the human player. Civ 2 has a similar problem where the A.I.s will eventually all form defensive pacts to "contain your aggression" and will never attack each other.

There have been reports of dragons luring players into the aggro radius of other creatures and hostile NPCs, bringing them into the fight against the player while the dragon circles and attacks from above. This is particularly noticeable when a dragon attacks while you're already fighting something else. You'd think that anything that isn't another dragon would perceive the dragon as a bigger threat than you, and temporarily team up with you to take it down (although sometimes this can happen - giants aren't automatically hostile to the player anyway, and are notorious for killing low-level dragons with ease, although they'll typically stay aggroed once it's dead).

Gang Up on the Human / int_59da62aa	comment	In Fallout: New Vegas, the two most commonly flagged "always hostile" enemy types, namely raiders and mutated animals, will gladly fight each other and not the player even if the player is in detection range. This isn't a guarantee though; some raiders will break from the fight to attack you even while a mutated lizard sets fire to their hair, but seeing as how most of the raiders are phenomenally high on chems, there's a hint of justification. Junkies don't exactly make the best choices. While an AI's fighting tactics are programed to be most effective against player characters, they don't prioritize the PC in any special way during combat. As far as hostility goes, each enemy is marked as part of a faction, and not just like the NCR or Legion. For example RadScorpions and Fire Ants have their own separate factions and will fight each other because their factions are marked as hostile toward each other. If there is another wasteland human out, they will also be attacked (unless they are Vulpes Inculta). You can even use Testing Cheats to make yourself part of these factions, and thus chum it up with whatever Raider, Robot, or Deathclaw you meet.

This was fixed in Day Of Reckoning 2. The computer players only decide to gang up on the human half the time, other times they may just ignore the human most of the match. Even when they gang up on you, they will quickly turn on each other if eliminating you would allow one of them to win. By contrast, this trope is far worse in the rather mediocre WWE Wrestlemania X-8. (Seems the CPU was steadily improving.) Smackdown vs Raw 2008 averts this by having AI opponents actually attack each other. You can be in a campaign Triple-Threat match between two guys who have been beating on you for the past month, and they'll still be hitting each other just as much as you.

This includes parameters for special behaviour toward human players, usually limited to having them deploy more troops on your border because the human player is more of a wildcard as well as better at using his/her army to begin with, but either with AI files or events, it's entirely possible to invoke this trope, even up to the point where you're at war with the whole world from day 1 no matter which nation you play.

Although it is probably unintentional in mini-games other than ones based around killing free-for-alls (such as the multiplayer) and mini-games that feature teams which can include computer and player characters, including War (both Color and Total), Heist and Raptor, there are sometimes incidents where computer-controlled characters can gang up and attack the player while ignoring each other, and other times even the computers who were supposed to be on your team can join the witch hunt as well (this can happen regardless of how smart/inbred you set their AI level to). In Color!War, it can play this trope even more straight. Normally, if you shoot down at least 4 of your allies for whatever reason, your entire party will brand you as a traitor and start opening fire on you on-sight while the opposing party will no longer harm you (this can happen regardless of if you were initially a Squirrel or a Tediz). Because you're still on your side despite being a traitor, however, you can still take your opponent's flag, in which case now both sides will be after your ass (yes, even while you're carrying your enemy's flag, your own party will still recognize you as a traitor and try to kill you for attempting to give them a point.)

In a stage like "Ballistix" where a ball needs to be hit into a goal to register a win, the AI will simply prioritize protecting their goal, much like the player will. In "Pogo Pandemonium", however, you can be absolutely sure that you will be their only target and their most common target. The AI even seems to team up in a very specific way: One character will focus on getting points. They will take as much area as they can in any way they can, even if doing so will be risky. The second character will try to take items from you whenever possible, making it hard for you to fight back. The third character will work in conjunction with the second to try to keep you away from character #1, and use items to stop you whenever they can. Play enough times in a row, and you'll notice that the #1 spot will almost always go to the first character. Coupled with the fact that you'll need to win each minigame three times in a row for 201% completion, and you'll almost certainly be throwing controllers.

Unfortunately, the Infected almost always target you unless they're under fire from the military, the military targets only the Infected unless you alerted them, but they always target the Infected closest to you first thus ensuring you'll get hit as well. In one boss fight, this is explicitly subverted. After Greene pops up in One-Winged Angel form in Times Square, the attention indicator will turn red, meaning Alex is an active target of the military. Then the call comes in telling the military to focus only on Greene, and the indicator turns yellow, meaning that Alex isn't considered an active threat.

Granted, this does make sense if you're surrounded by infantry, as you're a supersoldier and thus are a greater threat than the marines (and if that wasn't enough, they religiously view you as a demon). This gets a bit more ridiculous when the Scarabs target you, instead of the tanks that are shooting it. It's even more ridiculous if you have reasonable cover, and itty bitty you would be much harder to see as opposed to the big ass tank that's not making any effort to hide, and they still go for you. This becomes even more annoying - because it's blatantly obvious - in Halo: Reach where your NPC teammates are Spartans just as you are. You're not even the team leader, merely the latest addition to the squad - a replacement, no less. Yet outside of cutscenes, the Covenant act (and aim) as if you're the only viable target on the battlefield. When the player runs into the Flood, things get hairy because they also ignore everything else and try to turn Master Chief into metallic paste. However, not initially entering their vision range gives the player a nice rare opportunity to sit back, grab a snack and watch the Covenant and Flood duke it out for a few minutes. That said, once you do make yourself known, not only will the mindless Flood stop attacking the Covenant to come after you, the Covenant will also stop attacking the omnivoric alien zombie virus corpses that up to that second were mopping the floor with them in order to focus all their attention on you. This is explained in the expanded canon: they think humans are even worse than anything the Flood could be. However, that same expanded canon also makes reference to several individuals of the otherwise more dogmatic alien species allying with isolated humans in order to combat localized Flood infestation.

Gang Up on the Human / int_7988cb68	comment	In Mass Effect, the likelihood of any enemies targeting your squadmates instead of you seems to be inversely related to the difficulty level. On Insanity, enemies will never target your squad, only you. Even if they're getting beaten to a pulp by your allies directly in front of them and you're behind cover halfway across the battlefield. Which rarely happens on higher difficulties, however, as this trait was introduced in the second game and kept for the third, where there are specific stats governing how much weaker henchmen are than players. Combine this with the fact that Shepard hitting 0 HP means Game Over. Despite this, Mass Effect 3 has an improved aggro system that will take down squadmates who are noticeably bigger threats to enemy positions than Shepard. This can be exploited in Mass Effect 2 by Infiltrators using Tactical Cloak and some clever squad placement, especially against Mighty Glaciers enemies like the Praetorian. Not so much in 3's single player, where the enemy will hear Shepard's footsteps, and also feel him/her brushing up against them. The same thing does happen in multiplayer, but the enemy are more likely to home in on the fully visible enemy pelting them with bullets, as they're also a Player Character, just like you. Applies fully when the Geth Juggernaut hits the field, as it has abilities that increase its aggro beyond even that of Shepard's - forcing enemies to home in on the one character in the game immune to sync-kills. Invoked by Harbinger. Once he "assumes direct control", he will head right for you, regardless of anything put in his way.

So during the level in the holding cells, when you trigger the cell's unlocking buttons during a shootout against several synthetics, releasing the aliens they've captured, logically the aliens should attack their synthetic captors, right? ...Nope, they straight-up ignore the synthetics and attack you, the human, instead.

Gang Up on the Human / int_7b429ebd	comment	In the Saints Row 2 activity "Fight Club", you get in a cage match to the death with other fighters. The problem? ALL of them go after you; it's very rare to see any of them fighting each other, which can make the higher levels ludicrously difficult, especially when you're taking on six opponents at once (though it's VERY satisfying to take them all out). Somewhat justified in-story (although it's never explicitly stated) since your character is a well-known gang leader, and defeating you in combat would logically be much better for a fighter's reputation than some other no-name scrapper. This also happens in the Demolition Derby. After the initial pileup, every single AI car will start coming after you exclusively.

This is actually the primary reason all AI teams usually fail. Whenever you waltz in, all the enemies focus on eliminating you, which often leads them to either being bested by you or killed by your teammates. Even in competitive play you can still use this to your advantage, because of the large number of computer players inherent in the game. If you yourself gang up on any enemy human, your friendly A.I.s will still have a big advantage over your opponents distracted A.I.s.

There are some Materia you can use that are supposed to cause enemies to focus on that character if the player isn't controlling them but it's a crapshoot if it works at all. Though this can also be helpful since it means AI-controlled characters can perform actions without being interrupted by enemies.

In the second run on the Bunker area, the game introduces you to your fellow prisoner Natalya whom you can free by killing the prison guard and taking the cell key. The troops in the Bunker will be focused on you and no one but you, completely ignoring the other prisoner who is following you around. She can get damaged, but sometimes you can never tell since in most cases she never even flinches from stray shots. Not that it matters, since they're all dead set on you. In fact, if you get to the main room and don't take out the guards watching over the computer, they will act as if Natayla isn't there at all as she makes her approach to it and turns it on.

No other entry in the games has had it since, although some scenarios will have all computer players allied against the human. However, Heroes of Might and Magic V has AI behavior that ends up doing the same. While it's FFA, none of the AI players bother to defend their castle against other AI players, usually taking their entire force to attack another player (more often than not the human). Sooner or later, it will be you against one single AI who has taken over everyone else. Assuming you manage to survive the suicide attacks coming at you, that is.

Gang Up on the Human / int_9a8bf274	comment	Command & Conquer: In every game before Red Alert 2, the AI will gang up on you as soon as one AI opponent bites it, unless you change the "Paranoid" setting in the rules.ini file. Even if a player has remained hidden from the AI opponents the whole match, the moment one of them defeats the other, the player will have tanks and superweapons (including supposedly untargetable ones like Tiberian Sun's hunter-killer drones) raining down on their base. Red Alert 2 initially followed this trope as by default, with only Battle mode available in skirmish (ie. all A.I.s versus the player). A patch added Free for All, but it wasn't until the expansion pack that the player could be allied with A.I.s (in Battle and Team Fortress mode, the latter incorporating special maps designed for team games). Oddly, in Red Alert 3 enemies are more likely to go after you at medium difficulty than at hard difficulty. Subverted in Command & Conquer: Generals, where all players, AI and human, can be set as allies or enemies at will and the AI react accordingly. Even if it's a classic FFA, the AI players will fight each other, which helps a lot when facing 7 hard AI players on an 8 player map for the sake of achievements.

Gang Up on the Human / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Starting with the series' 3D Leap/AI Enhancements in Morrowind, this is played with considerably. You can find instances of NPCs and/or creatures attacking one another. Typically, if you stay out of their way, one will kill the other, allowing you to attack the weakened survivor. However, this is far from a guarantee. Venture too close, and it is possible that they'll forget about whatever grudge they had and and attack you. This continues through to Oblivion and Skyrim as well. Skyrim's dragons seem to have this as part of their AI. There have been reports of dragons luring players into the aggro radius of other creatures and hostile NPCs, bringing them into the fight against the player while the dragon circles and attacks from above. This is particularly noticeable when a dragon attacks while you're already fighting something else. You'd think that anything that isn't another dragon would perceive the dragon as a bigger threat than you, and temporarily team up with you to take it down (although sometimes this can happen - giants aren't automatically hostile to the player anyway, and are notorious for killing low-level dragons with ease, although they'll typically stay aggroed once it's dead).

If Zangoose and Seviper appear in the same horde, they will attack each other, since they are sworn enemies. Similarly, one possible horde consists of four Durant and their predator, a Heatmor, who will attack the Durant first. PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon and PokÃ©mon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Averted in SOS battles, much like with the previous generation's Horde Battles. For example, if a wild Corsola calls for help, it might attract a Mareanie, who will attack Corsola first. In a similar vein, Carbink can attract Sableye, who will attack the Carbink. Played straight in the Battle Royal mode, however. Battle Royal is a mode where 4 people bring out PokÃ©mon and can freely attack each other, the match ending when at least one person has run out of PokÃ©mon and the winner decided among those who haven't. Naturally, when you're playing by yourself against three computer players, the computer players will aim everything they have at your PokÃ©mon, even if there are obvious targets elsewhere. They'll only attack each other if they can score a guaranteed knockout (and thus earn a point), but after that, they'll get right back to working together to eliminate you from the match. PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield introduce the concept of raids, where the player can fight a Dynamaxed PokÃ©mon (or a Terastallised PokÃ©mon, in PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet) alongside three other people (be it other players or NPCs). When fighting alongside NPCs, the raid PokÃ©mon generally prefers to target the player specifically.

Gang Up on the Human / int_a5fec434	comment	Twisted Metal: The AI-controlled opponents in Twisted Metal 2 will rarely, if ever, attack each other, being almost exclusively concerned with attacking the player. Specifically, they are completely invincible if they are too far from the player. While they can and do attack each other, if the player isn't nearby, those attacks will do no damage. This is difficult to spot, but some levels allow you to see them attacking each other for no damage. This is to keep you from hanging back and letting them take each other out for an easy win. They do prioritize you, but not exclusively. The first game is guilty of this as well. They'll drive around aimlessly, but if you come into sight they'll usually drop everything and make a beeline straight towards you. You can actually get your AI opponents to drop into one of the lower areas in the final level and then watch them just drive around in circles and occasionally run into each other, not opening fire again until one of them figures out how to get back up to where you are. 2012 by far has the most egregious example of this, to the point where when the player plays a standard death match the AI will at the start immediately zerg and surround them while completely ignoring each other.

Gang Up on the Human / int_c0eae17	comment	In the Total War series, particularly Rome: Total War with its awful diplomatic system, every single AI faction is scripted to attack the player, no matter the player's strength or economy. The only thing it takes into consideration is how much money it has. This is especially blatant if you keep tabs on the diplomatic relations between factions in the game, as sometimes if two factions are at war and you attack one of them, they will end their war, declare an alliance, and attack you. Total War: Shogun 2 has "Realm Divide," which is essentially this trope incorporated as a legitimate game play mechanic. Basically, once your clan controls about 15 provinces (out of 65), every other clan will ally against you. You're given a severe diplomatic penalty, meaning your former allies will abandon you and you'll be unable to establish trade relations, killing your economy. To make matters worse, the clans allied against you will be given large stacks of veteran units every turn. To add insult to injury, AI players never trigger Realm Divide, no matter how many territories they own. Total War: Warhammer II is notorious amongst some players for this - the AI nations not only prioritize the player as their primary war target, but they actively disregard hostile armies and even enemies laying siege to their settlements just that they can torch and loot a minor settlement deep in your lands. Made especially jarring sinze the AI knows exactly where your armies are positioned and how far they can move, thus rendering the AI capable of calculating the most efficient way to screw with human players, not to mention that usually as the game progresses, the player will find themselves warring on every single front as far-off enemy nations declare war and call in your neighbours to join against you. Only when the endgame is triggered does the AI finally shift it's attention to the pressing matter of an invading chaos army. After that, business as usual. Also goes for the actual battle AI. Here's a fun experiment: try creating a custom battle with one player faction and several AI factions (that are opposed to each other), preferably on a very large map, and watch how AI troops from all parts of the map start attacking the player while completely ignoring all other enemies around them, even if they would be a very easy kill (i.e. French knights riding next to enemy English archers).

Modern Warfare 2 also has a specific instance of this, where you're told to let two armies battle each other, but if you do much more than move faster than a crawl and maybe shoot one guy in an out-of-the-way spot as he's reloading, they'll drop the ongoing battle with the people specifically sent to kill them and focus on you. Arguably justified since you've been fighting against one of the armies for the entire game and have recently been labeled as a traitor by the other, though it's still absurd that they'll ignore their primary foe just to take out a lone soldier caught in the crossfire.

Gang Up on the Human / int_d4caf593	comment	In Bully, if you decide to put marbles in front of the door of the boy's dorm and pull the fire alarm, this is why you should hide in the trash can because for some reason, the first person they go for is always you. Even if you jump out of the trash can when the riot had already started, they may sometimes just turn around and fire at you. This can also happen with other cliques. The prefects, however, zig-zag this - if others break the rule, even if you're around breaking rules they'll go after them, too, not just you.

Gang Up on the Human / int_d502170c	comment	PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon and PokÃ©mon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Averted in SOS battles, much like with the previous generation's Horde Battles. For example, if a wild Corsola calls for help, it might attract a Mareanie, who will attack Corsola first. In a similar vein, Carbink can attract Sableye, who will attack the Carbink. Played straight in the Battle Royal mode, however. Battle Royal is a mode where 4 people bring out PokÃ©mon and can freely attack each other, the match ending when at least one person has run out of PokÃ©mon and the winner decided among those who haven't. Naturally, when you're playing by yourself against three computer players, the computer players will aim everything they have at your PokÃ©mon, even if there are obvious targets elsewhere. They'll only attack each other if they can score a guaranteed knockout (and thus earn a point), but after that, they'll get right back to working together to eliminate you from the match.

Unfortunately, the Lost are coded to prioritize XCOM over ADVENT 70% of the time, potentially leading the zombies to spawn right next to an alien patrol and ignore them in favor of shambling after XCOM units on the other side of the map. One of the very first game mods released after the expansion changed the Lost's targeting to a fair 50% chance of targeting both the human and other AI forces.

Whichever side attacks you depends on where your forces move, but both factions ignore each other in favor of going after you; for example, at the start of the scenario, two members of the house to the northwest and one member of the one to the northeast will advance on you and ignore each other. This is particularly bizarre seeing that this game does have three-way battles and you do get a proper MÃªlÃ©e Ã Trois between the houses later on in Chapter 7.

However, the computer AI will also choose a Development Card strategy far more commonly than a human player would. Since Development Cards are riskier than using your resources to build and expand, this is essentially giving the computer 3 chances to try a risky strategy that could result in at least one of them winning (and therefore, you losing).

Gang Up on the Human / int_e5d5d23c	comment	Normally avoided in Doom and other Doom-engine games, due to monster infighting - while monsters will never attack one another without provocation, they will retaliate when they hit each other, and generally continue until either you grab both of their attention again or one of them kills the other. Some complications go towards this trope though, as Lost Souls will only make a single attack on on an enemy that hit it before turning their attention back to the player, or if the player is not in sight, going dormant (they don't retain targeting information after a counterattack, successful or otherwise). A successful attack on an enemy still leaves that enemy angry at the Lost Soul. And in Doom II, enemies will ignore any damage taken from the Arch-Vile (which is hard-coded to not be targetable), though Arch-Viles will kill (and then resurrect where possible) any enemy that hits them by mistake.

Doesn't help when if you get KO'd, no matter who is still up, YOU LOSE BY DEFAULT! By default, the enemies (both bosses and standard enemies) in the Kingdom Hearts games are programmed to always go after the player, but if your allies manage to make them flinch, the enemies will get sidetracked and draw their attention to them, instead. (This happens all the time with standard enemies, but not so much with bosses, as the attacks of allies rarely cause them to flinch.) If an ally is able to make an enemy flinch, a single attempt at attacking your ally will be made. Whether it fails or succeeds, the enemy will draw its attention back to you.

Most of the time, the Specials will all gang up on only you. Thanks to the sequel's dumbed-down survivor AI reaction times, expect many restarts. When all human-controlled survivors are killed in VS mode, the round ends, despite any survivor bots alive. Players on the infected team who know of this will focus their attacks only on the human players to end the match as quickly as possible. The inverse can also be a viable tactic. While the survivor bots will never fail to try to save another survivor, the humans players sometimes will. Further, the AI Director won't spawn more than three of the Special Infected that can pounce survivors (Hunter, Smoker, Charger, Jockey) at any one time. Thus, if there's only one bot survivor, it can be worthwhile to kill them first to make it easier to get the three humans, either all at once or one at a time while the others are distracted.

Gang Up on the Human / int_fe85bfc8	comment	In Super Smash Bros.: The final match before Master Hand in Brawl is a Battle Royalâ€¦ except for the fact that it's not. CPU characters focus on beating you, instead of each other. This is even more evident with the Dragoon and Smash Ball: the CPU opponent getting it always focuses on a player. In fact, this seems to be the case in a regular free-for-all match. There will always be at least one guy who will stalk you no matter how much you try to distance yourself and when they do, it attracts attention from the other AI players, thus you get caught in the "brawl." Nor is it limited to the AI's use of items. If you aren't there to hit, the CPU players tend to just jump around and occasionally take a pot shot at each other. Also, if you hide behind a wall in a custom stage, which the AIs have trouble with, in free-for-all, they will ignore each other and attempt to hit you, even though they can't, or they'll just pace back and forth together. Most glaringly, a computer controlled ally will occasionally target you with a Dragoon (which can't hurt you) or with a Bob-omb (which can), or even worse use their Final Smash on you when they cannot find a hostile AI (such as if they were KO'd and still on the respawn platform). Whenever an AI opponent grab a Smash Ball, they will absolutely refuse to use their Final Smash until the moment you're within striking distance, even if it's a team battle where you're partnered-up with one or two AI allies of your own. Even characters who could theoretically activate their Final Smash at any time and still be able to hit you (i.e. Sonic or Snake) will hold on to it just so you get hit the moment it starts. It's egregious enough that CPU players will self-destruct at the chance to get closer to the player. This can be seen by making the human spawn on a platform the AI's can't reach. In this case they'll all run and try to get under or over the player's platform even if it costs them stocks in the attempt. The AI has also been known to do things like use unusual amounts of teamwork. If an AI grabs a Smash Ball and has a Final Smash that covers a large area of the screen in a particular direction (Samus, Mario, Ganondorf), another computer will sometimes grab and hold you to make sure you can't get out of its way. The trophy tussle events in Melee are absolutely horrible. One CPU camps out in a set location, while the other two fight the player. When the player goes, they won't bother attacking each other. Really, these are more team battles with Friendly Fire enabled. In Melee, when the battle starts the AI will attack each other as much as the human. But the moment a human player gets a lead in KOs or stock, the AI will turn their attention to that person and chase him/her everywhere, hardly attacking each other. Mercifully, the fourth game seems to have eased up on this: CPU's still prefer to hit you, but will usually use it on someone else if you aren't around. Of course, there are also observed cases in team battle, where the player's AI partner gets the Smash Ball and then will simply hold onto it, refusing to use it on anybody. Averted at the end of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's World of Light, with an in-story reason. Galeem and Dharkon both summon Puppet Fighters throughout the first part of the true final stage. Their Puppets will fight each other as much as they fight you. This is just like Galeem and Dharkon damaging one-another during their fight proper, as despite them trying their best to work together, they hate each other so much, that they and their Puppets will be distracted by attacking the other party. It's still played straight in the fight where you play as Master Hand just before, where both teams will still gang up on you.
