Default Re: Good game, but....the AI is very bad.

There was a mention of the spellcasting AI being improved, but by and large, I think that Illwinter considers the SP strategic AI a secondary concern at best, since even the primary game blurb tends to indicate the game is mainly multiplayer, with single player as a sort of afterthought/training mode.

Writing AI is hard! Computers are inherently stupid, and excel only at doing dumb things quickly. It's hard to make a computer do smart things, except by having it do many dumb things and pick the Last dumb of the options.
