Default Re: basic questions on armors

Gryphin : Gal civ AI is a very good one, on par with the best AI I ever found. Only on the highest diff level the AI will have a bonus, otherwise it is just incremental activation of the algorithms.

The best one, and with a good margin, is the one of Conflict Zone. The studio behind this RTS game (Applied Mathematic is the translation in english) is a company which has strong roots in AI research in the french universities. The game was made to show how powerful the DirectIA module was, and believe me he was.

You had all you ever wanted here, and more. Intelligent subcommander with learning behaviors, dynamic force build up , clever resource handling and distribution to the AI subsystems (offensive agent, defensive agent...), and so on.

Now they are developping simulations systems for the army. I believe they should have done a TBS and not a RTS, if they wanted to show how their AI shined. Alas they surely believed that TBS is a niche genre now, a pity really.
