Hi Allan,
i think that would be good, so the AI could do all the things the player can
do as well. That would make the game more challenging but this way the AI
could react better to actions the player does. And if you add boads, ships
and jet fighters for example, and maybe a few kinds of civilians with
revolvers or chainsaws, or even molotof cocktails that could balance things
out I imagine. Another thing wich could be added are abilities with wich a
unit, for example the squat can shoot multiple times with the shotgun, too.
Or maybe flash grenades and smoke bombs would be funny additions. The
reloading thing is good in my opinion.
What do you think about these suggestions?
I even thought about a kind of shield or other protections, wich could be
effects for monsters and robots or maybe Items they could equip wich
protects from damage for a limited time. Or a defense stand wich reduces the
regular damage. Of course that could be made available for the other units
as well if you wish.
Best regards
Niklas

Sorry Niklas...I forgot to mention the thing with grab and nab. I think the
AI sort of picks the first or maybe the best damageing skill to use, and
doesnt really strain from that. I could add points to allow it to do these,
but that means the robot and monster will have a huge amount of actions. So
maybe adding new units is a good idea if we go this rout.

Hi Niklas,
I need to change that for the monster and robot. Right now they come out as
computer controlled, but can be toggled on/off by useing the CONTROLSHIFT+A
buttons together...at least on an English keyboard. Not quite sure what
other languages use sometimes.
Ian Reed created and programmed tactical battles. I have no idea how he got
the AI to do what it does. I suspect magic, the force and a flux capacitor
but he did a great job however he did it.
Well, my Yes,I especially liked how the truck's ram ability sound worked
out.
As for the various human attacks, I figured that it would be incredibly
difficult to actually miss hitting a massive walking creature the size of
the statue of liberty. It would be like shooting at a skyscraper.
The real problem is not hitting the building, but how much damage you can
do to it.
You may be able to break a few windows with a gun, but overall, the building
will resist most gun damage. So that is kind of how I thought about it. If
you notice, the monsters never miss either.
I am not sure were to go with this particular map pack. I still want to add
the water and boats. Maybe add a jet fighter that can drop napalm or
worse...I still want to try to invent some more attacks for the monster and
robot as well.
I thought about having the player build their own city and then chooseing a
monster or robot to trample it. That might be fun. Sim City is a game that
kind of did that as well, so it could be interesting.
After that, I think the map pack will be played out.

Hi allan,
first, woohoo, i won with the monster. I like the trucks and the frost
breath. I was very lucky this time that the reporters and news choppers
missed me with the flash light of theier cameras so often. However,
sometimes it happened that after ending my turn, the monster does some
things, like frost breath or moving on it's own. Is this a bug or a feature?
The added sounds are amazing. And another thing: The snipers and other guys
with guns never missed me as well as the vehicles and choppers. Can't they
miss? If they can, the AI seems to be very good at this map, wich is cool,
since AI programming is one of the most difficult tasks wich can be done.
May I ask if you have other plans and ideas for additions in upcoming
versions? Just out of couriosity.
Best regards
Niklas

To Shaun, Your right. I thought meant the smash skill. got rid of a lot of
restrictions on the various skills so hopefully this will allow everything
to be damaged.
To all if interested,
Added a third action, and gave the monster two more random skills. Hail of
spines and razor claws.
