warzone AI cheating

Post by kipman725 »

My freind and I usualy play with some AI but the AI has become alot stronger and apears to be producing imposible amounts of units for its res. In a one v one test of AI on high ground I locked down the middle so I had 10 res nodes and the AI had 4 and yet the AI had almost 100 units almost as advanced as me and zerg rushed me. It's absolutly imposible to produce that many units and reserch at the same time with 4 res nodes! I can't rember the AI ever cheating this badley in earlier versions of warzone. Is there any way to restrict the AI to using the actual res it has?

If the AI used Zerg units then yes, it is cheating and that needs to be looked into.

Me and my Starcraft obsession...

Anyway, I wonder what people think those sliders near AI starting positions are for.

kipman725, move the sliders to the left, make sure you don't disable AIs though, you must leave it at the second position from the left.

To be fair, the sliders don't really tell people what they are for. Sure, you can make a educated guess though... ;)

Ok point taken, I guess a slider inside an AI slot could also be there to set volume of AI tanks engines on a per player basis and a slider next to "volume" in the options screen is to set game difficulty. :rolleyes:

But anyway, it looks like tooltips don't work with sliders and are commented out for them. Not sure if fixing it is worth it, now that we are getting new GUI, since current one is a real "PITA".

I Like it I usually get A AI advantage in a few minutes at the early stages of the game and Wham Factory Module upgrade even I am researching light cannon. I know I am a defense buff and 50 Pythons Heavy cannon lay waste to my base then again I should buff up my defenses.


Cheating...no why it just fun to let your creation just go to waste. xD

Right I have upped my game and can beat max difficulty AI now. Very hard though as you have to gain map dominance and still pump out units like an AI while it matches you with 2 oil wells! I think we need a cleaver AI not one that cheats.

Absolutely. But you know most AI writers are just too scared to write cleverer AIs, it could become human-like and take over the world, so they never write any.
If you want to give it a try you can always find everything you need here .
But you have been warned, the first person they always take on is their master. :rolleyes:

that looks useful a few simple changes to stuff like the AI's build order could make it far more human, also introducing some list of excluded unit types would do wonders (also possible prefered units to build) basicly reducing some of the randomness of the AI by removing known bad choices.

well you see it will use this subtle device called "humour" this "humour" will slowly infect the ENTIRE world. Most of the populous is already infected, looks like your one of the last ones left, better head for the hills.
