Spring RTS Engine

several years ago I used to plat TA , and usually I won
but this NATI AI with spring is kicking my ass almost all the time
he doesn't give me time to prepare myself and to build my defenses.

the other aai isn't playable on all maps and mods so I can't really use it.

what easier AI would you recommend me, but not too easy. ?

You mean NTAI? The solution is to play better. If it can attack you before your defenses are up you're too slow. Play under the assumption that an enemy will come at any time, not just after you finished your line of Annihilators.

LOL!

i'll try to tell you nice before someone will start flaming you, but you should stop playing defensive.

usually any enemy doesn't wait for you to put up defences; anyway if you don't want to listen to my suggestion, for the moment qai, besdies few lone troops, will wait a while before attacking you

but i would suggest you to switch to a more aggressive strategy and rely on defences only when a mobile solution isn't suitable (almost never)

I think this post wins the award for the funniest thing ever spoken in the forums.

why is that ?
cuz I used to play a different strategy in the original TA ?
and now when the AI is more aggressive I need to adopt a strategy I am not used to ?

This one isn't bad, but the funniest post is here: http://spring.clan-sy.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=9698

What version of NTai are you using and with what mod? If you want, PM me in the lobby and I'll help you out.

I usually use Absolute Annihilation, but the NTai Version I can't tell cuz I use debspring with older version of spring.

.cheat
.give all

.cheat
.nocost

Uh, no offense dude, but no game AI unless it cheats, shoud kill a human. Ever.


Here's a few things

1) Make sure you're launching a small raid at all times. If more than 20 seconds go by without action, you lose.

2) The whole map is your house, and your opponent is a thief. Kick the thief out of your house.

3) Practice online.

you can porc against ai and still win..........

Yes. But if you just want the AI to lose...

.cheat
.team 1 (or 2, or 3 or whatever)
ctrl-a
ctrl-d

... that should take care of those pesky cheaters.

i cant beat an ai with this cheat command on unless i have a head start with like 40 factories

AI can micro factories better than me when it gets that many

Oh I should have just shut up and let the poor guy xperience for himself lol.

I can always beat an AI with .cheat .nocost. AIs are always stupid and inflexible when it comes to knowing what units to use. In BA, for example, you can easily just spiderweb them, or just nuke them to death, since teching to krog is easy

lol, yeah, you should have, instead of being attacked by 5 peewees, he would be attacked by 20 krogoths

you guys are very supportive.
thank you.
