Actually I only reacted to what Bill wrote, and my reaction was far less visceral than what Bill wrote.
But that is neither here nor there.
From what I take it your issue is whether TCP/IP was promised and that the AI sucks right?
Well I can answer those issues again. No TCP/IP was never promised and actually never even mentioned until on this forum on Dec 02 of Last year. However TCP/IP is something we plan on doing, and still plan on doing. Most of our work in multiplayer to this date is getting the executable more compatable with the Play By Web site setup by Doug Fields.
As far as the AI, your right it isn't perfect, however I have seen much worse. With the latest patch and with granting and taking away certain advantages it can give you a real run for your money. And if you add some of the modders packs it can become ungodly
. But in the end there is not a single computer generated AI that can defeat an intelligent human opponent.
