I know it cant be that hard, but when say: selecting 5 peepers, and setting them to Widget, or is that AI, omg Its an AI? Im confused, if its a widget to make a unit randomly move around the map according to its own location, will somone make it?

You write, you have. Here is one very simple AI (Helper, of course) that moves units randomly.

[edit]
That version is a bit broken, this one is better.

Explore aka search and destroy, every better RTS had it.

Dark Reign's adjustable unit behaviour was pretty decent if anyone remembers that game...

search and destroy? isn't it too much for Helper AI?

Now i only have one more request, and that is moving randomly in a selected area! So you can explore certain areas, some maps are a bit big.

Next version of RandMov AI, for Noruas :wink: (moves units randomly within a range).

If you find anything inconvenient, I will try to fix it.

And of course a link:

The is no source code included in the package.
This isn't very convenient for non-windows users.
