FIRAXIS: Will PtW Have Improved AI?

[dexters]

Hope someone form the dev team reads this.

The title of my post may connote I'm not satisfied with the current AI, but I am actually quite please with it. That said, I think there are areas, and perhaps some common exploits (like AI civ suiciding entire army on a well defended stack) that can be fixed, and new routines added to make the game interesting.

This isn't so much a quesiton about difficulty, although it would be swell if the AI can pose even more of a challenge without cheats in REGENT, but this is a question about the AI performing human like, seemingly sentient actions. I love to see them, and perhaps some more parameters could be introduced in the XP to build on the existing routines in Civ III.

I doubt they will put much weight on developing new AI. Seems most people think the AI is far superior to all other Civ AI's, and Id tend to agree.

[Solver]

It is far superior, but, as any AI, can use improvements. Just look at this: while the other guys are putting new stuff in, Soren got to do something too... so he can work on extra AI routines.

have a nice day

[Master Marcus]

anyway they can slightly upgrade some AI actions within single patches, like they did so far with 1.16, 1.17 ( more aggressive, a bit less cultural ) and 1.21 ( better use of units ).

Yeah, if Soren got the current AI as quickly as he did, i'm sure he has enough time to improve it a bit. So i'm hoping on them improving it at least slightly, maybe give it more strategys to use, and use specialized units correctly. I love the AI in Civ3 already though.

[Spiffor]

I think they won't improve the AI as soon as PtW comes out : I suppose Soren will make the AI understand the use of the new features (radars, airfields, outposts, possibly new traits)
I also think he'll try to speed up slow processes, such as pathfinding. This way, turnless mode won't suffer from slowdowns.
