Oh. You meant a coop game. I guess I can see the point of that. 4-6 players working together to kill a pack of AI's. So you have modified the AI's artificial intelligence? I didn't realize you could do that. Making the AI's smarter would be cool.

Oh I read a bit about that NaV series. Those weren't coop games. They were team games with some extra AI's stuck into it.

PS: Can you boost AI's in single player? That would be fun. Bashing 4 super AI's as fast as you can play.

Don't want to get the thread off topic (apologies to Chris). The NaV series is cooperative in the sense the AI is the common enemy/obstacle of all the teams (you can read about our trials/tribulations against the AI in the NaV forum archives using the link in my signature).

Modifications to the AI programming logic (i.e. making it smarter) would have to be done by the developers but there are certain things you can do via modding, map editing, etc, to attempt to keep the AI from doing some nonsensical things and to give it a huge starting advantage/powerful forces/production bonuses/good pretenders/scales, etc.

I am one of those players that jumped right into MP without really every learning how to play/beat AI opponents in single player, so its a great learning opportunity for me. I also enjoy working with other players to beat up on or challenge the AIs.

Yes, you can boost the AIs in single player.
