When Does the AI Give Up???

[DRG]

`



Also keep in mind there are newbie's who play this game that get flayed alive by the AI and there are veteran players who consider the AI a waste of time to play.

How do we keep both types of players happy ? Preferences for one but we have seen players adjust their preferences then scream there is a "bug" in the game because they jacked up the preference for one side and down for the other switched sides and didn't understand why things were screwed up and we have advised players to adjust the preferences if they don't think the stock settings suit their game play then they argue that what they think is right should be the correct settings totally ignoring the point I made in the first paragraph.

I used to have a copy of an excellent essay on the problems of making a game both realistic AND playable and how, in the end, there was really no way of making the realism crowd and the playability crowd totally happy with the same game. Unfortunately I lost it years ago in a HD crash. No matter how much you back up something is always overlooked
