Hi all,
Jarek, no, it probably won't. I set out mainly to create the Command
and Conquer maps for human vs human matches really. The A.I needs some
additional smarts to handle most things. That being said, it seems to
pull off playing the Soviets pretty well with the system as it is.
Though that's because it's taking full advantage of a few problems in
my design.
Allan, you'd be much less impressed if you knew it was dumb luck. The
computer seems to choose randomly (at least as far as I can tell) from
all the things it can afford to build at the time. So, if it had 300
credits and was playing as the Allies, it would have an equal chance of
building any infantry type, I think. But it wouldn't, for example, save
up for more Javalin Soldiers (the most expensive Allied infantry so
far), because it would blow it's money on a dog or maybe a peacekeeper
before it got there. The only way you might be able to replicate this
luck is by allocating the computer a random amount of points to spend
each turn, thereby creating a window for it to be able to afford more
expensive units.
Interestingly, has anyone ever played a human v human match online with
these maps? How does it work out?
Craig
