Maelstrom, that post is seriously over the line. This is not the place for personal attacks. Please keep things civil from here on out.

Strong AI doesn't exist yet. What one can get now is some degree of function-fitting; but that presumes you know the structure of your inputs and outputs. The much-hyped neural network, for instance, needs to be given a set of inputs, and needs to be told what output to learn. Genetic programming methods need a vocabulary of operators, plus inputs to operate on them. Pick an input set that doesn't work, or don't include the flexibility necessary to fit your output, and it'll fail; have too much, and perhaps your search will trend towards getting stuck in meaningless local minima. It's not a coincidence that many games prefer to have fixed scenarios with pre-written scripts for AIs that also get vastly superior starting configurations... and most games have far fewer tactical choices than Dominions.

You are a fool. You have no idea about scripting.

He didn't say that much about scripting... In fact, because his Posts are much more imformative than yours, I think that he knows quite a bit more about scripting than you. I am not commenting on that 'Evolving AI' -stuff, mainly because I am not sure did I understand it. But if you meant THAT as a scripting he has no idea about, I quess that you are a total fool. I would like to say troll, but I'm afraid they would come to eat me if they heard me say so...

The only acceptable way of calling another man fool is in the context of a Mr.T reference. For example: I pity the fool that thinks the dominions AI can be improved.

Actually he gave a concise and accurate report of the current state of AI, and clearly has some experience with it. On the other hand, you have giving nothing to support your purile view.

That is, if I'm not mistaken, a rather amusing Mr. T reference.
