Which AI factions should participate? (part 2)

[Maniac]

It is a relatively small map

Do you know something more than I do?

I'd vote for #4 like FlameFlash does.

[Drogue]

Well, didn't we vote for a standard map in the map thread. That's pretty small IMHO, which is good and interesting, but means we don;t want strong AI wiping us out straight away

My idea was about a 3, not much more beefed up than transcend. Not much at all please

[Maniac]

There were 7 people who voted Standard, but also 5 who voted Large, and six who voted Huge, so a large map seems the best compromise to me.
But it's all up to Googlie I guess.

[Hercules]

I think Drogue has it about right.

[GeneralTacticus]

I also agree with Drogue. We want them to be an actual factor in the game, but not sufficiently so that we might actually lose to them. If a team does lose, I'd bet they'd rather lose to a human team than a computer.

[moomin]

Yeah. The AI should be strong enough not to provide a major free bonus to anyone who happens to start next to them, but no stronger.
