Best unmodded non-TDM AI's

Gandalph · #1 May 12th, 2003, 05:58 AM

I am using MB's death match map and races to test against. I have done most work on Corrian and Ekhazon. The Corrian are pretty much finished (just a couple more minor tweaks) and the Ekhazon will soon follow. I will then get to work on the Tesli'k and my new, as yet unnamed, Organic race.

Both the Chaos and Zorians have some problems that I'm still working on; they may do fairly well once in a while, but more frequently seem to get battered by the other races I have in in my test games (typically try to use 10 - 14 of the best AI's of other modders, and 4 - 6 of my own). After the Orks and TDM Krill (they are a little different), I would say the best AI's of mine would be the AI's I wrote for the UCE and UCE Battle fleet (slightly different in aggressiveness and fleets).

The inside info on your AI's is great, Atraikius. I will definitely look into the UCE and UCE-BF with your updated AI's. I also anxiously await future tweaks to Chaos and Zorian.

One other question for you, how is your Mirak AI related to (and competitive against) all the other AI's you just mentioned?

I fear that all of my AI's could stand some rework. They are a bit dated, and mostly not really optimized for all of the capabilities that the later Versions of Gold give. Now, if I could just get some time to work on them....

/me donates 15 minutes of spare time to Alpha Kodiak

Now if everyone would just do that.

You have a lot of AI's, Alpha Kodiak! Of your AI's, which do you think pose the most challenge in their current form? The Namovans are the toughest and then? Which ones just need a few minor tweeks and updates here and there?

I find all the work you guys have put into this fascinating.

I'd gladly donate 15 minutes to all of you (if only it worked that way!)

The Mirak are about on par with the Chaos. Some one had asked about AI's the use drones, the Mirak research drones early and use them fairly heavily (the UCE also use them a lot). If they get going, they get some interesting fleets with heavy use of drones, carriers, and CSM-V's - can really swamp P-D.
