B2: Bug In The Ai Script?

posted on August 15th, 2004, 11:59 pm

i think its a bug...

cause when u start destroyin the enemy´s base, the AI is not building stations again..
i cant figure out at which point that happens, cause when u just a destroy a shipyard its buildin a new one sometimes... but when u start a massive attack, and most stations are destroyed, it is like watchin antfarms behind a window... them ships are still mining at the moons, but nothing happens... i waited 30 minutes for once, to watch it, till i finished the AI like a fatality in MortalCombat...

i think there´s a failure in the AI script or incomplete or something...

Well the AI have already faster building time so it isn't perfect

mh, the ai should be able to rebuild their bases in beta2.

the ai in v3 should be a lot better then the beta2 ai, we spend much time on optimizing it (it does no longer cheat by the way)

Well the positive thing about the BEta 2 AI is that it is quite difficult to defeat if you team up all the AI hards together

what do you mean it does no longer cheat?

Ai makes ships and buildings really fast, just watch em and see how quick they can make Negh'vars or Soverns.

And also I dont know where it gets enough tritanium since it doesnt build mining stations at tritanium moons

I also noticed that b4 KLOK, at a point just stops doing everything

thats not cheating, set the 'ai resource cost' and 'global build cost' up a little bit

Well if you watch them (w/o fog and the other stuff) they can build entire fleets in about half an hour with only five mining ships working. Where do they get their resources, I do not know....AI CHEATERS!!!!!!!

AI is cheating with resaurces and that is confirmed. That can be seen if you are debugging the game.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE COMPUTER WAS A CHEATER!!! NOW I KNOW!!! Dumb cheating computer.

is it that bad that the AI have faster resources? I mean i can beat the AI Hard easily. also 2 AI hard in one team so what is your problem about the AI? they are still easy to fight against

Yeah, but still, fighting against someone whose cheating...I don't like it. But I'll still play!

yep. the beta2 ai has faster build times and does not pay as much for a unit as a human does.
we were able to improve the ai so it does no longer need the faster build time and we were able to reduce the cost reduction. hopefully the ai will once be good enough to encounter a human without resource bonuses
