Is AI useing power he collected ?

[Terminator]

I played with default 2.2.1 AI on maximum difficult(max slider in host room). I build him up on his base & left him only ONE iol derreck. & I was wonder whan he began to push me back. He was buildning and biulding new units, reasearching new tech, build moduls on every building. And this all with only one iol.

so my Q. again: Is he use its power at all ?

example: in warcraft3 the hardest AI (Insane) he use tricks, the trick is in his collection speed - Its double time faster. But anyway AI use its money(power).

ai uses cheats...
on low difficult less, on hard difficult more

[Zarel]

Yes. The AI gets free power on higher difficulty levels. Move it to the lowest difficulty level if you don't want it to get power.

When AI stops geting power ? means on what hardest difficulty ?

I just want to play vs. BOT without any cheats on his side =) "fair game" =)

[Thyranim]

don't think it's possible without editing ai-scripts...
as i've seen, even on the lowest difficulty, it is cheating power - very low, but it is...

Yeah, you can get that if you push the slider one step away from all the way to the left. It won't be very fun, though, the AI is pretty easy to beat like that.

Are you sure?

i would suggest to add cheating options where you can decide as player how much the ai can cheat and also which kinds of cheating (getting free money per minute 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, x2,x3,x4, x5 x6 money earn speed raising build /research speed)

and then how strong the ai itself is and if there are multiple ais choose your fitting.

i would also suggest something like this that is ingame changeable for the campaign.

Sorry, i've checked becomeprey-scripts, not aivolution

Um, we already have that. It's the AI difficulty slider.

Well, the only variation in AI strength is in how much it cheats. That, and choosing different AIs.

Didn't we have "Easy", "Medium", "Hard" difficulties for the campaign? Where did that go?

Anyway, campaign enemies generally don't manufacture very many units; they mostly use the units and structures they start out with, so power adjustments probably wouldn't have that big of an effect.

no i meant that you can choose if and how the ai cheat independent from its strengh.
So you would have a setting for the ai strengh (that decides how the ai react) and settings for the cheat levels mentioned above

The problem is, we don't have an AI for which we can modify the strength of. The only way we can modify the strength is to modify how much power we give it.
