Re: The AI Improvement Thread
 

Well Im not big on pushing for the devs to do things that we can already do. Thats one of the reasons I stopped reading the wishes list. I got tired of answering "we can already do that" to so many of the posts. Id rather they spent time on things we cant do.

There is already a program to design gods and use them randomly as AIs. Im trying to take that concept one step farther and also do a mid-game change fo tactics.

Re: The AI Improvement Thread
 

It would be nice if the AI could throw some random weirdness at us, once in a while. Like a series of AI-only events. One turn there's only 1 AI Pretender, the next turn-inexplicably-there's three. How'd it happen? Doesn't really matter. It just matters that it happened, and we as players have to adapt or fail.

Re: The AI Improvement Thread
 

3 pretenders for the same nation?

What if the AI just had a huge list of pretender-ish multi-heroes, with an increased chance to get one each turn? That increased chance, modified by difficulty, of course.

Re: The AI Improvement Thread
 

I can do both of those.
Hmmmmm how about mid-game the pretender is replaced by his 3 sons? Im not sure if its an AI fix. Is there a nation which could particularly benefit from such an action?

Think of a nation, think of its mid-game failure to adapt, then tell me what it needs to fix that.

Re: The AI Improvement Thread
 

That is such an awesome idea, Gandalf. Any of the dragon pretenders could spawn 3 immortal wyrms or something. The possibilities for that are endless, considering how much the AI begins to falter in midgame.

Perhaps if you could give the AI multiheros which autocast certain BEs at the start of every fight. LA Ermor with Darkness, all ages of Abysia with Heat From Hell, etc.

OK now that we are getting a server switch to turn off cheat protection, we can have some fun with some non-PvP games.

So..
here are some of the images you can use for a GOD.
If you were to build a "can kick the tail of a human player" special god for a specific nation, does any of these strike your fancy?
