Default Re: Increasing AI difficulty

Remember that these people do this for a living. The people here who create mods and graphics do this for fun. If I were programming AI I would try to incorporate a random event to check for conditions that would activate a suicide attack. Like Fryon said. Programming AI is not that easy. You can’t have AI files in size that rival your game files.
I didn't mean to imply I blame our modders. They have done a marvelous job with the tools available. Kudo's to their hard work and imagination.

In fact, I don't even blame Aaron. He designed the AI the way he wanted it. Take it or leave it. Remember the software industry as a large industry is barely 20 years old and they have not yet concentrated effort on AI opponents, at least not in an industry-wide, dedicated effort.

On the other hand, why shouldn't the AI rival in size the main program? After all it is simulating a human being! In fact, it is half the game!
