one of the first things i noticed about the AI in galciv (and im noticing again now) is how it thinks it has to colonize planets deep in my sphere of influence...
thanks for the free planet
again... the AI might be the best in the world of semi-complex TBS AI's but why does it have to do something that moronic?
and yeah games with more simple rules are def better AI-wise.. im sure thats why galciv is actually so simple under all that make up....
im pretty decent with GML in game maker so ive been letting game concepts swirl around my head... Im trying to get a strategy game system down that includes all of the "cool" things like espionage, technology and my personal fav supply lines but is done in a simple enough fashion to allow the creation of a decent AI. An AI that can plan on simple mathematical facts (like chess) while allowing some deeper strategy (like uhm...well other TBS games)
of course ill prob just start coding and stop after a month but i can at least dream :P
