Wrong section. Try the "AI" section.

I've seen RAI build boats before what game/mod are you playing?

i use BA, CA and NOTA all the time and they never build sea, they use amphibious tanks but never sea and ships. They only use Air Bomber attacks on sea maps.

If there is no solution could some one recommend me a download link for a Good AI that can use SEA AIR and LAND

and tell me how to install it coz i am a noob :lol:

Thx for all help :-)

I just tested a game with RAI, AAI and E323 and all of them build ships. This is with the bots from the latest spring release. I started a online game tho, not single player...not sure if that could make a difference.

E323AI does not officially support naval gameplay. Building of naval units by AI is just a side effect of _partial_ naval units support. It is not finished yet.

You can make one with by writing a config for shard.

Be aware Shard at the moment has no capacity for detecting ponds and small lakes, it will build shipyards on water close to the builder at the time if told to, though it wont go out of its way to seek out water.

Well making a config for shard it actually pretty simple. It's little more than making lists of units. I would be willing to show you if need be.

A 5 year old could understand Shards most primitive mechanism for supporting games. Their only obstacle would be their typing speed and reading comprehension

Builders have task lists, or build orders. Shard starts at the beginning of this list, and works its way to the end skipping any it cant do, then repeats. Build orders are lists of unit names

Code: Select all

commanderlist = {
	"corsolar",
	"cormex",
	"cormex",
}
taskqueues = {
	corcom = commanderlist,
}
This is a list of things to build called commanderlist. At the end your telling Shard, that the 'corcom' unit type, is to follow the 'commanderlist' taskqueue.

That is all you need to know to get started. That inside:

<yourSpringfolder>\AI\Skirmish\Shard\0.3-Hairy\ai\<gameshortname>\taskqueues.lua

Shard will print out the 'shortname' in the console at startup if you don't already know it, and if the folder and file don't exist, just create a new folder and a new file and paste that in there.

For inspiration look in the other game folders to see what other people did.

Due to RAI official forum thread is disappeared i'm posting here.

According to attached log file AI thinks it can build nothing on this water map. So, definitely the problem exists.
