Nexus A.I.

Post by DemoneNero »

I'm just starting to learn the game so I use this nexus ai set on easy, my problem is that after a while it stops attacking me. Is this ai supposed to work this way?
By the way, is it possible to sea a VTOL to a specific rearming pad.
Thanks in advance

Edit:

I tried nexus ai on medium,it's even less aggressive

What version of WZ are you running (3.4.0?) and what OS are you running it on?

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I'm running 3.4.0 with Windosw 7 ( 64 bit ).
I tried a game on hard with Nexus and finally it keeps attacking instead of just sitting there fortifying its positions

Basically, Nexus is for completely new players. It's the worst AI and is more for training purposes than anything else. If
you want a more aggressive bot use BoneCrusher!, Cobra, or SemperFi. The NullBot AIs would be a realistic example
of fighting a human player with its adaption techniques and not as rash as the other bots.

I've also seen NullBot not attack. However, in those instances, the bot got defeated by its own unit regrouping logic and all the units got stuck in a tight place unable to fix their dilemma because the horde was too large.

I built 3.4.1 on linux and it seems to me that my Nexus will play as hard as I set it first time through. But when I play a save I made Nexus retains what it had already built at that save point but builds no more so I end up with no new opposition and can win with trucks and mgtowers. So I just set up a new game each time and play serious. They are lighter but many, like ants!

I gave up on Cobra and Bonecrusher. I think I beat one in 20 by luck only. Find myself saying "what? Impossible!" alot, with grander embellishment of course :)

Nexus production is broken on 3.4.1 after loading saves (fixed in 4.0.0 beta1). You can get the latest release, 4.0.1, here.
