Title: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: CommissarGears on January 13, 2010, 02:10:48 PM: Will the computer's AI Be able to handle the Russian faction with any kind of effectiveness?

Post by: WartyX on January 13, 2010, 02:32:55 PM: Soviets will be using enhanced AI.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: CommissarGears on January 13, 2010, 02:34:51 PM: Ah, that is good to hear. I was worried since you were introducing a new faction the regular AI wouldnt recognize how to play them, and try to play them as the British/Americans or something.

Post by: Loupblanc on January 13, 2010, 04:28:16 PM: They had some programmer guy come and fix AI :)
THANK GOD! Major hurdle. Did it recently, too.

I believe the AI for vanilla factions was enhanced too.

Post by: GI John 412 on January 14, 2010, 12:48:14 AM: Enhancing the AI for all factions would go against the mods "leave vanilla alone" policy. It is good to hear that the Russians will have a working AI, as I like playing Wher but I feel bad killing Americans and Tommys.

Having been raised in the shadow of the cold war, killing Russians would not create such a moral dilemma. lol

Post by: WartyX on January 14, 2010, 12:59:45 AM: We made the vanilla faction AI better, simply because the brand-spanking-new Soviet AI completely owned it. All in the name of balance.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: GI John 412 on January 14, 2010, 02:15:44 AM: Are there still different levels of AI difficulty or is the new AI not able to be on a gradient? Another thought, is the new AI a new 'level' of difficulty?

Ex: Easy
Normal
Hard
Expert
New Super AI

Post by: CommissarGears on January 14, 2010, 02:17:16 AM: it wouldnt be New Super AI, it would be USMC. :P
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: WartyX on January 14, 2010, 09:22:04 AM: No, the vanilla AI level system is still the same.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: GI John 412 on January 14, 2010, 09:27:11 PM: So each level of the new AI is still called the same thing but is now significantly better? So if before a Hard AI was reasonable to play against then now it will be truly hard and a Normal AI will be what was once considered Hard?

And because nobody used the normal Easy setting there would be no problems.

Or have I misinterpreted you once again?

Post by: WartyX on January 14, 2010, 09:41:03 PM: It isn't necessarily harder. It just thinks more, and does things more cleverly.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: GI John 412 on January 14, 2010, 09:58:55 PM: So things like sending pioneers and MG teams at Machine Guns in buildings unsupported will stop. This is good. An AI that plays chess by using the pieces the right way instead of one that just sends more pieces.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: Katyusha on January 14, 2010, 11:11:06 PM: Does the AI still spam AT guns, rangers and/or (if your playing 2v2 or 3v3 or something) airbourne?

Russian Conscript spam sends shivers down my spine.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: BurroDiablo on January 14, 2010, 11:23:11 PM: They still produce a lot of AT guns, yeah... the little shits. Rangers i'm not sure... Soviet AI likes to spam Partisans though...

Oh well, theres nothing like seeing a million AT guns stuck in one place. The AI can be so silly sometimes. This is what firestorm was really for ;).

Post by: Loupblanc on January 15, 2010, 08:44:50 PM: ... ... Oh hey, yea Firestorm that shit :)

... Can something be done against the spamming
of Hetzers, and... partisans???
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: WartyX on January 15, 2010, 09:55:54 PM: Yes, AT Guns and MGs.
Title: Re: Computer Players for Russia
Post by: Loupblanc on January 15, 2010, 10:01:11 PM: Somehow, I just can't image soviet AI spamming HMGs :)

Oh, does Soviet AI use global upgrades???

... Can you guys switch SU122 for KV2 and make
KV2 a reward unit that can't be recalled ? ;) (Like KT)
