AI OVERLOAD

Post by Kharos »

Even on easy AI in the skirmish matches, I was pile-bombed by blue in my last match, on every single structure, including walls, I had. I find the AI seems to be far too powerful, and it also copies all my vehicle designs. Please fix this, as I can no longer go any further in this game without working cheats, which the mac version has NOT got.

Maybe it has something to do with your strategy? I mean, the base AI isn't Aivolution; it doesn't exactly bunkerspam; most good strategies will cause you to win against it.

Here's a pretty bad strategy that's good enough to beat the base AI on medium difficulty: Research all the prerequisites to HPV so you can get it: http://celerisdrive.com/wz/r/r.php?hypervelocitycannon

At the same time, research up to Gas Turbine Generator Mk3 (or the second Power Upgrade in 2.1 and below) http://celerisdrive.com/wz/r/r.php?powerupgrade3

While you're waiting, build a few light cannon bunkers to defend your base.

When you're done with that research, research as many cannon upgrades as possible, while putting HPV on your best medium body and tracks, and setting it on Long Range. Make a bunch of those tanks, then go pulverize everything.

to strong ai? wow , well all i can say is , are u new to warzone? if so , u would learn realy fast how to beat ai , they'r piece a cake ;) trust me , be quik! (i play warzone with 2 hands , arrows for my screen =3 ) also try stealing oil from the ai's , and build heavy MG at the begin , they'r good against those weak tanks , start upgrading cannon shels , and build medium cannons , even on tanks , dont forget to research mini pod rockets , so u get lancer :3 and to practice... turn of the VTOL's they suck!

Hum, 6 VTOLS assigned on a sensor tower for keep safe your base and the nearest strategical points while you are rushing it's not sucking.

The AI is far too simplistic in Warzone. Why would you want it bumped down?

"I don't want to build AA defenses, so therefore the AI shouldn't attack me with VTOL's!" is not a very good argument.
But I agree that the AI feel unbalanced, either you're killed off by swarms of units before you have a chance to build up defenses against such attacks or if you live through the first couple of swarms the AI proves no challenge at all, just leaving you with the tedious work of finding every single enemy unit on the map to win. I'm sure this would be far too hard to program (AI stuff usually is one of the hardest parts to make in a game, aren't they?), but it would be really interesting to have a skirmish AI that 'learns' from your games, I think that was done in a couple of older games.
something like the game recording what you do, and then having the AI mimic things you've done in various matches, looking at your priorities for constructing defenses, units and how fast you expand, so that it keeps on a level close to your own.

Of course I know that it's a lot easier to wish for this kind of stuff than to actually program them, and this is probably the first thing many people think of when they think of how they think the AI _should_ work - but that it is a very different thing to try to make it work that way.

I got a problem.... usualy half way through the skirmish the lag slows down my commands to vehicles.... like to build something or to move,it takes minute or more to command to take efect by that time unit is usualy dead.
