Best unmodded non-TDM AI\'s
Searching for the best AI's forgotten or unexposed?
The TDM Modpack provides some truly superior AI's as can be seen from both personal play and AI Death Matches I and II (Thanks MB).
But the AI Death Matches also highlight some non-TDM AI's that also seem to perform well. In AI Death Match I the Namovans by Alpha Kodiak finished tied for 7th approximately. In AI Death Match II, the Tessellate by MB (top 6 so far) are awesome and the Khrel by Rexxx finished in the top 12.
However, searches reveal there are many AI's that are not in the AI Death Matches or the TDM Modpack that were purported to be good (at least by the standards at the time). Some previously mentioned include Vandron, Hevordah, and Azorani by Alpha Kodiak; the Zorian and Chaos by Atraikius; and the Tesli'k by Gandalph.
So the best non-TDM AI's I've found so far are:
Tessellate (MB), Khrel (Rexxx), Namovans, Vandron, Hevordah, and Azorani (all Alpha Kodiak), Zorian, Chaos (both Atraikius), and Tesli'k (Gandalph).
Since there is so much knowledge in the forum from both the creators and the Users I would like to know what do you think:
1) Are any of the above AI's I listed basically equivalent to an AI already in the modpack?
2) There are many shipsets without AI's, but are there still any good AI scripts that are not distributed inside races?
3) Are any of the older AI's in need of just a few of the more modern tricks/ideas in order to make competitive but still mostly unique?
4) What races/AI's have I missed? What are the best non-TDM AI's in your opinion?
5) How do all the AI's we list compare with AI's already in AI Death Match 2? Which round would the have made it too?
