New AI: The 'Un-cheating' cheating 'bot

Post by Slamoid »

[EDIT]Fixed crash on load for 2nd time. Sry. :oops:

Here it is!

This AI will start with several LARGE bases, and steadily build up forces. Will only work on land so far, no water units. This scripty was balanced for OTA @ 1000 res, so it shouldn't be a problem for the 100k res. All enemy is Core units, scince single player gets Arm. Good luck! :-)

A four minute delay before it even sends Weasels? I'll take a nap while it warms up... well, wait, it never really does. Seriously though, playing the Cavedog AI would be more interesting and challenging...

Erm, I don't know how well the base building works with that AI. I think you would be better off using Springs prebuilt scripting (such as Amphibious_Attack or whatever it is).

Before Gnome kills you, I'd say you probably need to think the AI through a little bit more. It is very easy, most players wouldn't even notice it.
Compare it, for example, with Gnome's AI, which is significantly more difficult.

Even compare it to Storm's easy and medium AI's.

When I discovered I could set out buildings, I put out a whole damn base, with plants, lots of solars, MTs, HLTs, metal makers, wind gens...

And you know what? Just as I said in the previous AI thread, the computer spawns within a narrow circle around three different start points. That means that after a while, those bases ought to be filled... and they were, I checked myself. I saw MTs stick out of the middle of plants, Punishers and HLTs fully integrated into each other and hundreds of captured units that couldn't maneuver their way out of that shit and attack me.

Base building AI is an impossibility right now, just accept the fact. My AIs spawn a lone punisher or Intimidator once in a while, for pure amusement.

And yes, I'm extremely aggravated with the skirmish script starting out with 200 x 200 K resources, because it kills everyting that has to do with base building. Build a radar, a plant and a LLT right where you stand, then force-build the first con and either a Guardian or a HLT or both and you're pretty much save for the whole game. You would never have been able to do that with a 1 x 1 K.

technically it is possible, but not the obvious way.

In the current Spring, there are prebuilt bases on some of the "Scripts" on the main page.

If you built a fortress outside the spawn radius for the AI, and then spawned units within, it should be okay.

It would make things very difficult, because you would have to fend off the enemy attacks, and build up a large enough force to take the enemy base when they get LRPC's.


... Maybe there is a way to change the spawn radius?


... And does anyone else see the connection between this feature and future tiled battlefield maps on Galactic War?

i second this how do we mod the files to make the skirmish start out with 1k/1k (if u want to piss around you simply type .cheat .nocost!!!)

Make it nice and difficult. Build your starting resources, lab, and then walk your comm away and self+d him. :twisted:
